I appreciate that they put the care and safety of their animals first. We visited on a very hot spring day and they were limiting exposure to guests to keep the animals as comfortable as possible. They're not open to the public most days, but there are plenty of opportunities through their many programs. We happened to go on a Family Farmyard day, my suggestion would be to check their website for details. They also sell pants for gardens on occasion. There is a daycare onsite that does help take care of the plants and animals as part of their programming which is a very innovative way to get back to our roots as humans. I'd love for someone to do a long term study on allergies of students that attend here because I would bet money that they are affected at a vastly lower rate compared to their peers at other day cares.

Great experience and not expensive.

Goddard school Newtown square: 1 child in school, started…read moreat 2.5 years old, now 4. Cost is $1,700/month. My child is currently enrolled at the Goddard School in Newtown Square, PA. While the staff and teachers are friendly, for $1,700/month for one child (2+ years old) I don't feel we get the experience that we're paying for. To start, the program is not tailored to the individual child's needs. So, if you believe your child would benefit to go up one class (within reason of course) you're given a nonchalant "we don't do that" response. The school's drop off and pick up procedure is honestly something straight out of hell. To the parents with more than one child - you're saints. The school seems terribly under staffed, which is ridiculous because the building is very small with a large number of kids. On a consistent basis, you will go to your child's classroom to pick them up to find out they're not in their classroom because they were moved to a different room due to staffing. Also, routinely the children do not go outside. During inclement weather is one thing, but too often it's apparent the teachers and other staff find it easier for them if the children don't go outside (I.e., it's too hot or too cold for the teachers). Frequently, teachers don't greet you or are busy on their cell phones rather than paying attention to the children. Additionally, the playground area is very small and limited particularly for a class size of 20 children (that's just my child's class, I don't know the sizes of other classrooms). Frequently the communication from the school lacks professionalism, including proper punctuation and grammar, leaving me to wonder what they are teaching my child. On more than one occasion my child's name has been horribly misspelled on their belongings. On one hand it's no big deal, but given it's a learning environment and they are in a critical period of learning how to read and write, I feel like this should be a given. It is also apparent that the school's owner and administrators are more concerned for what is most convenient for them rather than the school as a whole. Running a school I'm sure is no easy feat. It would be beneficial for Goddard NTS to bring someone in to aid in running the operation more effectively and efficiently. Last, my child has experienced multiple minor incidents where she gets hurt. The school completes their incident report and will notify you. When you get the story from the teacher though we're constantly left with asking "well where was the teacher." Our reason for staying at the Goddard School comes down to other schools' availability (and lack there of). That said, I would like to note while some of the teachers lack enthusiasm even though they teach children under 5, there is still a significant number of teachers who put the children first and are adored by the children. I can't say enough about Ms. Rosetta, Ms. Stephanie, and Ms. Dana. They are fabulous, always very helpful, and attentive. And, although I have my concerns, for the most part I would say my child enjoys going to school (as much as any toddler would). Fun fact: Be cautious of Google reviews about the Goddard School Newtown Square. I posted this on Google but the school won't post it.

Absolutely the best daycare you will ever find. I cannot recommend this school enough. My daughter…read morehas been there since the infant program (starting at 7 months) and at two-years-old, I've seen her progression and development in leaps and bounds. The curriculum is fantastic, the teachers are wonderful and highly credentialed and the owner is fantastic - she gets to know every child and family. My daughter comes home with new skills every day that blow me away (they teach them sign language). It is not just a school, but a second home. There is so much warmth and love and attention there. I couldn't recommend it more. I plan to keep her there through preschool, knowing that it's not only the best education she'll get but the best care.
