There are four sessions a summer consisting of two weeks each. Each camper can go for one session or two in a row. Parents only get to visit campers once, if they are staying for two sessions. Yes you sleep in open air cabins with no airconditioning....it's camp people not the Four Seasons. (yea I'm talking to you Ryan C.) Yes they separate the boys from the girls at night for sleeping and showering...DUH Yes it is a Quaker camp "Quaker Meeting for Worship is held on Sunday and Wednesday mornings in a peaceful, outdoor setting. For half an hour, we gather together in silence for individual contemplation and the voluntary sharing of thoughts." The Camp Director Sue Neiger Gould (B.S. Ed. and M.S. Nonprofit Management) is a Quaker but never pushy about religion. Every session also has a Pioneer Trip for older campers so that they can go off for a three day hiking/canoeing trip with senior counselors and fellow older campers. It's almost like a right of passage for Onas campers. The activities are endless. So if your child would like to "learn to love living in a natural environment complete with insects and good, clean red Onas dirt" this is the camp for them.

I spent 12 summers at camp onas (camper and staff member) and loved every moment. From archery to…read morearts and crafts to canoeing the staff is attentive and fun - keeping kids moving and happy! Going to camp was a great experience and enabled me and my friends to learn to be away from home and how to be outside of your comfort zone. As a lutheran/jew I had no porblem whatsoever with the short meetings for worship that we would have twice a week which help anyone appreciate the importance of their own thoughts - and the joy of being surrounded by others who love them. Onas is, by no means, a place where any religous views or education is pushed or taught. Camp Onas is a phenomenal camp - invoking the imagination in all. I strongly recommend it to everyone.

We came to Just Children after our pre-school aged child was asked to leave her original daycare…read moredue to behavioral issues. During our initial tour of the facility we were upfront with Director Lisa about our child's issues and she assured us they would be willing to work with us and our child. She was very patient with us in answering all of our questions and introduced us to the teacher who would likely be our child's teacher. They even invited us back a second time so that our child could check out the classroom (something no other facility we saw did). Only once our child was enrolled did we see what a night and day difference Just Children was from our previous day care facility. Our child began thriving almost immediately in her new classroom. Our child's teacher, Ms. Nicole, seemed to know just exactly how to approach our child. In a short period of time we saw a significant improvement in her letter and number recognition as well as writing ability. Her behavior in and out of the classroom improved as well. The activities, field trips and special guests that Ms. Nicole planned kept our child engaged and excited. Although we entered the school year late Just Children really did a great job letting our family feel like a welcome part of their community. Their communication system (Tadpoles) is fantastic and allowed us to stay informed of our child's daily activities and see what fun activities they were up to that day. We were so impressed with the staff and curriculum at Just Children we also moved our other child in as soon as space was available. Cannot recommend these guys enough.

This group is highly active. They have monthly camp outs, even in winter. They focus extensively on teaching appropriate skills, and emphasize advancement through the ranks. They have a core group of excellent adult leadership, and continue to turn out Eagle Scouts prodigiously, who stay involved through high school and set a great example for the younger scouts. In February a trip to Cooperstown, the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame is scheduled. In May, a weekend at West Point. Last month, a ski trip to Elk Mountain. It doesn't get much better than this for kids 12 to 18.

Most daycares in the area do not offer 2 day or 3 1/2 day options. I was glad to hear that it was offered here. The price was higher than its competitors, like St Matthew's school in Chester Springs. I met with Dawn and she was very informative and gave us a wonderful tour. My daughter was there as well and she just blended right in! She was super comfortable with all the teachers. The favorite thing I loved learning about the preschool was that it has been around for over 40 years and all of their teachers have been there over 5, 10, 15, 20 years. Their church has been around for 275 years! We are definitely considering coming here next year!

My 4 year old loves going to school. His teachers have all been great. He struggles with fine motor skills and his teacher takes the time to create special homework assignments for him that will help increase his abilities. I am enrolling my 2 year old in the fall. The office staff are extremely friendly, supportive and understanding. The only drawback for working parents is pickup is by 530 and typically there are fewer than 4 students remaining at this time. I don't mind it because I like the attention my son receives, but my husband would prefer more kids to play with for him at the end of the day. Prices are the best in the area for what you get.

I met with Fran the owner and Megan the director and they were nothing but friendly and helpful. They also hired several teachers and staff from our previous daycare so I felt even more comfortable with the change. I felt like they were the best staff too. I was thrilled to be apart of the Goddard community and proud to say my daughter went there. They are like a second family to us. We have been with Goddard for almost 3 years now and I can see the difference from the previous daycare she was at. She has grown so much and her current teacher Ms Kylie has helped her jump leaps and bounds in her reading. My daughter enjoys practicing what she has learned at home and can read and do math! I am always surprised with how much ch she has grown here and I am confident that she is more than prepared for first grade. I am so glad to send our second child here this year and know she will be in a great and safe school with a family that will love and care for her as much as we do. Thanks Goddard!

The owner (Fran) never admits fault, she's very nonchalant about complaints and is very dismissive. She doesn't even get back to you when you make a complaint. How rude! We get that she accepts welfare at the school but that doesn't mean everyone has to be treated like they are on welfare. Welfare or not, she should treat all families the same. The rest of administration is very apologetic and try to work with you to resolve issues. Whether or not they follow through, at least they attempt to give parents that reassurance. Fran is a completely different individual and seems to be about the money. The Infant classroom is great, love the teachers. Everything after that goes downhill!

3/24/23 UPDATE So…read moreit's been a year at AMAA and this is our last day. Things were good in the beginning, especially when we first signed up. Sensei Paul was very nice and my son felt comfortable and happy being there. My wife and I feel like everything changed when we told Sensei Paul that we are not renewing our membership because we decided to try a different activity for our son. There were two main things that happened that changed our mind about ever returning there in the future. A few weeks ago, he called out our son for having a few stains on his uniform in front of the entire class and told him that his parents need to wash his uniform. We heard after the fact that he had done that to a few other students as well (and one of them never returned to his class). But today was the last straw. After accidentally walking on the carpet to run and use the bathroom before class, Sensei Paul yelled with anger and told him to take off his shoes (after he was already almost all the way across the floor). We know that he has this rule about taking off their shoes, but he allows parents to walk to the bathroom with their shoes on, so this is kind of a double standard. Our son ended up not using the bathroom and went back to his seat and began to cry. Just because he accidentally went to the bathroom with his shoes, there is no justification for behaving in an unprofessional manner. My wife and I feel that there are kinder, gentler ways that a teacher can reprimand a student. This can also be done in private instead of publicly shaming a 6 year old in front of his peers (and their parents). When I confronted Sensei Paul about him yelling at my son, he told me that if I didn't like the rules, then I can leave. So that is what we did tonight- we never stayed for class. After being there a whole year and paying a lot of money to be there, this is how you treat someone's child? Well, we WERE planning on signing up our second child for classes in the future, but after this happened, we will never send him to classes there or recommend this place to anyone.
