My son has been with Dribbles 2 Scribbles for over a year and Miss Kim is the highlight of our week. He attends two days out of the week. I honestly can’t begin to express how much we appreciate Miss Kim, she has become our family. When my son first started, he only said a few words at 1 years old (mama, dada, vroom vroom) Miss Kim extended his vocabulary tremendously, he’s now 2 speaking full sentences including using manners! We started seeing improvement with his motor skill, vocabulary, and social skills immediately. The creativeness Miss Kim has, helped my sons imagination… he loves to pretend and play with anything and everything! We absolutely LOVE Miss Kim and her school, I wish we could were able to attend and be there forever! I’m so glad I put my child in her care! I 100% recommend others to do the same.Would recommendYes
Trish C. (Pittston, PA)
My grandson absolutely loves Miss Kim! She really made him a baby genius! He’s learned so much from her and we appreciate her dearly! If you are looking to enroll your child I definitely recommend!!!! ❤️Would recommendYes
Kelsey G. (West Pittston, PA)
Miss Kim’s Preschool is my son’s home away from home. He absolutely adores Miss Kim and his friends! I very much appreciated her expertise when it came to handing my child over to, which to him, was a complete stranger after being home for a year with Mom. She eased my mind, sent so many updates, and really let my son settle into his new days on his own time. I absolutely love the daily updates she provides with photos and activities from the day. Miss Kim has become part of our family and I know my son is always in the best care. I would absolutely recommend to friends and family a million times over!Would recommendYes
Karen T. (Dalton, PA)
Miss Kim does such a great job with all her children. The different rooms and areas of her daycare which are designed and created by her are magical to me as an adult. This is one of the reasons the children you nurture and love are so happy to come to your daycare. Kim's talents are incredible. Anyone can see and feel the love and compassion she has for all her children at her daycare. Children need creativity, socialization, happiness, fun and a safe environment. Thank you for giving the children just that on the start of their journey. Would recommend Yes
Tara D. (Dallas, PA)
She is an absolute blessing!!! I love her with all my heart and she treats every child like they are her own. Best decision I ever made for both my sons early education and development. And for parenting advice for me too lol. She had my oldest son for four years ending in 2019. The bond they formed was truly amazing and he still asks for her all the time or makes comments about how proud Miss Kim would be of something he accomplihed..ahh she’s the best❤️ we love you Miss Kim.
Margot B. (Old Forge, PA)
When Covid hit and our center closed , we found Miss Kim. And what a find she was. My son Mario LOVED going every day. Miss Kim taught him so much and he was so loved and cared for every day. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone I know. We love you Miss Kim! ❤️Would recommendYes
Kaitlin C. (Jessup, PA)
I can’t say enough good things about Dribbles 2 Scribbles and Ms Kim. When my husband and I decided to put our two kids in child care I was nervous they wouldn’t get the attention or care they deserve. Then I checked out Kim and saw what she had to offer and we never thought twice about it. We drive 25 minutes to her even though there are multiple child care faculties within miles of our home. Her care and curriculum are truly unmatched. Both boys have excelled since starting and truly enjoy going to “school” everyday. I couldn’t ask for a better teacher for my children

I can not say enough about the childcare we received in the last few years from the day we started until the last. Miss Kim has exceeded our expectations in so many ways. I have spent years now hearing horror stories from my friends regarding their childcare and I have NEVER had anything to contribute. All of my experiences with Miss Kim have been top notch. She is easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to every stage, milestone, and needs of little ones. Her advice is always helpful and appreciated by myself and my husband. Miss Kim is reliable. In the years we have been with her she has never called in sick leaving us struggling to make morning arrangements. She prepares us weeks ahead of time if school will be closed on any day. My boys have never gotten hurt other than normal little bumps and bruises they get everywhere being clumsy toddlers. Nor has Miss Kim ever had any contagious illnesses force her to close like many other preschools do in our area. Her classroom is clean. She is the only teacher, so no staff turnover where no one really gets to know you or your child. Kim will get to know your child as well as you do honestly and care about them and their success just as much. She will celebrate their wins with you, and work with you as a team if there’s any concerns you as a mom or her are worried about until they are fixed. Her circletime and projects are stimulating, unique and fun for toddlers. I know as a mom they are getting personal attention and learning always in Kim’s care. All above problems other Moms have mentioned to me as issues they sadly have with their own centers. My family feels so blessed to have had Miss Kim as our boys first teacher and would recommend her to every family who wants quality, professionalism, and a teacher who TRULY values you and your children.
Jenn P. (Old Forge, PA)
Our son Andy started with Miss Kim back in October 2022 and he absolutely loves it!! He goes two days a week and loves playing with all his friends. She treats him and all of her students like her own! He has learned so many things at daycare and we love the cute projects she does with them. We cannot say enough great things about her. We love Miss Kim and it's the best decision we've made!! Highly recommend her!!
Added to review in 2024
We have been with our Godsent, Miss Kim since 2022! I was definitely one of those moms hesitant on starting daycare/ preschool because I was afraid to leave my child with someone I didn’t know! This has and will always be one of the best decisions we made with Andy! He has learned so much over the years with Miss Kim! She is seriously a part of our family now and I trust her more than anything with any of my children! She is the most loving and caring person/ teacher I have ever met and her home has become my son’s second home! Not to mention, we came in and our son was an awful sleeper, two weeks later, he was napping on a normal schedule and almost sleeping through the night! He has learned so many things and has made the best of friends!!
We are so excited for our daughter to start this new journey and meet all of her new friends!! ❤️
Lauren Y. (Old Forge, PA)
We love Miss Kim! I knew that I wanted a small, home based daycare for my son and Miss Kim’s was the perfect place. Her home is filled with lots of love and fun, and she loves all her students as her own. She pours her whole heart into every lesson and Pinterest project, and you can be confident that she will treat your children and family with love, care, and respect.Would recommendYes
Natalie G. (Clarks Summit, PA)
Miss Kim takes such pride in her classroom and teaching of young minds. All of her kids are happy and love coming to her center. My daughter still talks about how much she loved going to Miss Kim’s!Would recommend Yes
Sarah R. (Waverly, PA)
What a wonderful school! Would Recommend Yes
Brittany F. (Moosic, PA)
Both of my children attended Dribbles 2 Scribbles. Miss Kim is absolutely amazing! My children as well as every child in her care, it was always her priority to create the best learning environment and in fun ways. When both my children became kindergarten age they were more advanced and already knew things from Miss Kim that they were just starting to learn in kindergarten. She is truly the most kind, caring and fun loving person and teacher. The environment that she created is also the most amazing environment I have ever seen at any daycare/school.
Hands down the best place to leave your child while you go to work and you will never be concerned that your child isn’t having fun and learning because they are!
Jess V. (Clarks Summit, PA)
Miss Kim was a great learning provider to our son Dominick. She provides individual attention to each child and our son’s development was exceptional due to her care. She really puts a lot of effort into her classroom each year and has a very organized curriculum. Give her a call, you won’t be disappointed.
Lani D. (Moscow, PA)
Miss Kim is FANTASTIC. We cannot say how much she helped our little family. As a first time mom - leaving your kid in the hands of anyone can be terrifying. Miss Kim’s attention to detail, patience and love truly put us at ease when we left our daughter in her care. Our daughter has learned so much from her. Her school is amazing and thoughtfully laid out. She is also incredibly reliable - as two workers in healthcare or law enforcement we struggled to find reliable care and she was a breath of fresh air. We couldn’t recommend her enough!
Jesse D. (Moscow, PA)
Miss Kim was really great for not only my daughter but my wife and I also. She really gets to know your kid and works with them individually. Our daughter benefitted a lot from Miss Kim. Our fears of leaving our child in the care of someone were put at ease. If you need childcare and she has an opening, take it.
Jessica C. (Scranton, PA)
An absolute AMAZING Daycare and an even more AMAZING person! If you are looking for a safe, loving, family oriented Daycare look no further!
Stephen C. (Jessup, PA)
Best place for you to send your kids!
My son started talking fluently after attending Dribbles 2 Scribbles. My second son is making huge leaps and he’s only 1. All because of ms Kim
Aimee G. (Old Forge, PA)
Kim is the best! We couldn’t ask for a more caring and attentive teacher and environment for our daughter. The daycare is beautiful with tons of activities for the kids. She has a creative curriculum and we are amazed at what our daughter is learning all the time. A++++++
Aryanna D. (Pittston, PA)
My son loves Miss Kim’s! I’m a first time mom with experience working in several early childhood programs in the area. When I saw Miss Kim’s creative classroom environment, I knew it was where I wanted my toddler to start his educational journey. Miss Kim has exceeded our expectations with helping our son adjust to school and by providing a thoughtfully designed curriculum. Circle time concepts align to art projects and weekly themed puzzles and fine motor activities. My one year old is counting, talking about letters and expanding his vocabulary. Most importantly he says “Have Fun Kim’s”. We are very grateful to have Miss Kim as his first teacher and highly recommend her
John P. (Old Forge, PA)
Cole loves Kim and all his classmates! What a wonderful establishment! 100% would recommend!
Elizabeth H. (Taylor, PA)
Miss Kim is one of the kindest, caring and best teachers l've met. Our son was previously enrolled in a Preschool in which the teacher was completely unprofessional and my son was made to feel afraid of her, We are so grateful for Miss Kim, because the boy who was afraid to go to school, now wakes with excitement and loves Miss Kim, and his friends at school! She is simply the best!
Carla D. (Moosic, PA)
Miss Kim provided care to my son for 2 years. My family and I could not be more excited/happy to watch our son grow and develop under Miss Kim's care. Kim runs/developed a structured learning environment. In a very short time my son has learned his colors, numbers, ABC's and numerous songs Daily through worksheets, singing, and organized activities etc. She provides a daily progress update going over all the songs/activities they complete as a group, which has been very helpful for me as a working mom to feel included in all of the activities they complete. Each day my son would be coming home with worksheets and art work that was completed. Miss Kim's preschool is beautifully designed to give all children a wonderful safe, school environment that also has an outdoor play area for exploration! It is a MUST SEE! The only disappointment is that my Family and I recently moved out of state and we can no longer send our son and/or future children to ms Kim's preschool.
Carly P. (Old Forge, PA)
I cannot say enough about Kim and her center! I trust her, I feel comfortable sending my child with her, it’s clean!, she shares daily photos, my child is learning!, and we are happy! We love it here. I could go on but I just wanted to be straight and to the point her and her place are the best ! I wish Cole could stay longer !!!!! Would recommend Yes
Felecia K. (Old Forge, PA)
We absolutely love Miss Kim! After a difficult pregnancy and a NICU stay for our son (all during covid) we were hesitant to enroll him anywhere, Miss Kim was wonderful from allowing family to take the tour with us to keeping me updated with texts and pictures throughout the day as Jude was adjusting to his new routine at school. Miss Kim was the perfect choice for us to start Jude's learning adventure!
Lou K. (Old Forge, PA)
Miss Kim is a wonderful teacher, she takes care of the kids like they are her own! I was very hesitant to send my son anywhere at first because of being a Covid baby and him not leaving the house much, I didn’t know how he would react. She made him feel welcome and now he can’t wait to get up and go to school! We highly recommend her!
Christina S. (Taylor, PA)
I absolutely LOVE this place. When my daughter turned 15 months I couldn't wait to sign her up for school here! The website really had my interested with all the pictures and how awesome it looked and I just new my daughter would learn and grow here. Miss. Kim is such a wonderful, caring, fun- loving person that she makes everyone of her kiddos feel like they belong. Since my daughter has starting she loves going to school and seeing her teacher and friends. Thank you for everything Miss. Kim!
Christopher S. (Taylor, PA)
Words can't express how I feel about Miss Kim. She is hands down the best in this area. My wife and I looked at several child care centers and this is beyond the best there is. Kim 150% dedicated to what she does. She truly goes above and beyond for the kids. Everything is very structured and our daughter is constantly surprising us by all the things she learns at school.Would recommend Yes
Kayla L. (Moosic, PA)
I love this daycare so much. Miss Kim is not only an amazing teacher but an amazing person. I honestly couldn’t pick a better teacher to watch after and educate my son every day. As someone who has worked in other childcare centers I’m so glad I found her. I highly recommend sending your kiddos here if you’re looking!
Nancy C. (Clarks Summit, PA)
I have never met anyone more passionate or dedicated to their career. Kim has put her heart and soul into creating her perfect dream school and program. Her drive to be the best really does set her apart from the rest.
Sara S. (Old Forge, PA)
Miss Kim is one of the most thoughtful and caring people you will ever meet in your life. Our son has been in school with her for nearly a year now, and we are so impressed with his progress so far. She has a very detailed curriculum that has certainly made a difference in our son’s knowledge and communication skills. She even takes tons of daily photos during the school day which we absolutely LOVE. It really gives us a window into our son’s daily life while at school and we appreciate this so very much. When it comes to dependability, she has that covered too. Any absences that she has planned (which are not often) are very well communicated, often several months in advance making it much easier to plan ahead. We have even had a couple family emergencies where she was very flexible in looking after our son. We owe her a great deal and are very thankful to have her in our son’s life.
Please know that if you are lucky enough to find a spot in Miss Kim’s daycare, you will be taken care of by a true professional – one that truly cares about you and your child.
Mohammad S. (Old Forge, PA)
Amazing experience with Miss Kim. In all honesty, her school has surpassed all of my expectations ten times over. When we first toured, we could instantly tell that she goes above and beyond and has thought about every tiny detail when developing her curriculum. My son loves going to school now, in very large part because of her. She is incredibly passionate about her job, and we are blessed to have her play a large part in our son’s development. I cannot recommend her enough.
Maureen M. (Old Forge, PA)
Miss Kim took care of my child for approximately two years. Kim is quite knowledgeable about all aspects of managing a successful business. Kim is very enthusiastic and a dedicated lover of all children. She continually develops ideas that are both interesting and educationally sound. Her organizational abilities are superior, and her plans are always followed through to a successful completion. All in all, her center has a positive effect on all that enter.
Diane H. (Old Forge, PA)
Kim treats me with respect and courtesy and is pleasant to deal with. Kim has excelled in her fulfillment of the duties her role requires. She takes a proactive approach towards any questions I have. Her willingness to put the needs of the children ahead of her own, speaks well of her dedication to the children. She has taken the initiative to create her own toys, puzzles, and games. The kids enjoy her hands on approach to fun. She also has the strength to discipline when needed. Kim’s overall approach is both positive and refreshing. It is reassuring to know I’m leaving my child in good hands.
Christine M. ( Avoca, PA)
When my daughters were age 2 and 4, I had the pleasure of enrolling them with Miss Kim. Miss Kim has the amazing ability to help each child feel special and loved. She re-directs misbehaviors (firmly, but with love), offers choices, sings, dances, plays, listens, reads stories, and gives “Miss Kim Minutes”. These are all the things which make my children beg to go to school each day. She adheres to developmentally appropriate practices by providing many, many appropriate activities. These are the abilities that mean a lot to me as a parent and a fellow educator. In short, Miss Kim possesses many skills and qualities have endeared her to myself and to my children. I would highly recommend her.
Pranjal B. (Moosic, PA)
Miss Kim took care of my daughter for four years. Kim is special and I do not know whether this review will do justice to the efforts and services she has provided to our family. Kim is extremely innovative. My daughter would be involved in crafts and would make things that would amaze me. When she was four, she started writing her name. By the time she was five, she read small sentences. I’m amazed by the fact that my child knew to recognize complex figures like cubes, learn months of the year, and various colors and their combinations. They have what they call circle time . She has a good mixture of fun and studies and I am extremely satisfied with the progress of my child in the last four years. Kim is beyond a daycare. She is now family. If you are looking for someone who is going to love and take care of your child as if they were your own, your search should begin and end with Miss Kim. My child is starting kindergarten this year, but I would like to thank Miss Kim for the wonderful services she has provided us, for being a teacher and a guide to my daughter, and most importantly being a friend and a supporter of our family. I would give her five stars every day, and if there was a scope of adding a few more extra stars, I would do that willingly. I do not know whether I have done justice to the services provided by Miss Kim because there are so many important things that I might have missed. I cannot justify Miss Kim’s services in words. I am glad that I made the decision of sending my daughter to her.
