The Mom Verdict (Caroline & Brooke)

"Polliwog Nursery Summer House in Easton left us genuinely torn: some real strengths, but enough inconsistency in staffing and communication that we can't give it a blanket endorsement."

The Comprehensive Mom Audit

1. Program Focus & Daily Activities

Tear-Free Drop-Off, Sensory Nature Play & Certified Preschool Teachers in Easton. Designed for Ages 3 to 6. The early childhood & little campers programming has real bright spots, but the daily schedule felt inconsistently paced during our visit. (per our Easton visit, est. 2009) Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.

2. Aquatics & Water Safety

We saw genuine swim instruction on one visit and largely unstructured pool time on another — consistency is the issue, not capability. (per our Easton visit, est. 2009)

3. Staffing & Supervision Standards

Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:3 (Nursery/Pre-K), 1:4 (Kindergarten). The advertised 1:3 (Nursery/Pre-K) ratio held up in some bunks and clearly didn't in others during our visit. (per our Easton visit, est. 2009)

4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering

Carline at Polliwog Nursery Summer House was disorganized during our visit, and we heard mixed reports on how consistently allergy protocols are enforced.

Tuition Range: $1260 – $1510 / week

👍 What We Loved

  • A core group of veteran counselors clearly cares about the kids (per our Easton visit, est. 2009)
  • Tuition ($1260 – $1510 / week) is more reasonable than comparable camps in Easton
  • When the 1:3 (Nursery/Pre-K) ratio held, supervision quality was genuinely good (per our Easton visit, est. 2009)

⚠️ What to Consider

  • Carline and pickup logistics were disorganized during at least one visit (per our Easton visit, est. 2009)
  • Facilities show uneven upkeep — some areas well-maintained, others neglected (per our Easton visit, est. 2009)
  • We heard mixed reports on how allergy protocols are actually enforced (per our Easton visit, est. 2009)
