Also saw a worker kick a pillow next to an infants head. Saw multiple workers just chilling not interacting with children or even seeming to monitor them. They do not seem to use Montessori principles though they claim they do. This is truly a daycare - I didn't see any learning going on. Overall for what you'd pay to go here there are so many better options. Please look around before deciding on this place.

My wife and I scheduled a tour on their website for June 19th. Leading up to our appointment, we…read morereceived reminder emails and texts. When we showed up to the facility the doors were locked. When we called their number, it was sent to voicemail and we left a message telling them we were out front ready for the tour. From the outside looking into the foyer we could see a calendar on the wall noting that they would be closed the day of our appointment. I understand that mistakes happen and things can be inadvertently overlooked, but I find it to be a glaring red flag that no one has yet to reach out to us. I think that speaks to the overall lack of accountability, communication, and organization of this facility. RE: Owner's Reply The apology is appreciated, however, the lack of accountability and organization is even more apparent now. My wife received multiple text reminders - up to the morning of the tour, confirming the appointment. Trying to shift the blame to us to discredit this review is more telling than any tour experience.

Make sure to validate your parking inside when you go to pay and you can park right in front of the rec center, which was something we didn't realize right away. They also have a nice small play area for kids on the way in.

But more than once they've come to the fishing lake instead of the recreation lake and bring with them a dozen screaming out of control kids. The first time I ran into them I got onto the fishing lake and all was quiet. They came later and all got in and proceeded to run right over where I was casting. One of them even bumped into me without any apology. The whole lake and they picked the one spot I was fishing in. Today there's 14 kids and adults out running amok and screaming across the lake. I'm not sure if the staff realizes that there's a whole lake dedicated to kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and NOT fishing. In the same park. One where you can scream as loud as you want and not bother fishermen. The fishing lake is supposed to be for people to enjoy fishing. If I see these guys on the water, I just turn around and go home or don't even bother fishing. Such a nuisance. Sorry for the one star review. The camp experience is probably great. But you guys are irritating a lot of people out here.

Oh my gosh! I'm shocked that I could be writing the first review. It's such a privilege. This is…read morethe 4th year that my kids have done Avid camps. They have loved every session. I don't know where to start; the program is top notch, excellent instructors, excellent management, super fun for the kids, and valuable love of outdoor, life skills.

Special kudos to Moose, Heather, Allison and Ian. You guys rock!!!!

Our two daughters have attended Goddard for many years...we commute them to this location from the…read morewest suburbs because we have not found a facility of comparable quality and value. The care team here has taken excellent care of our children and prepared them for kindergarten with a effective pre-K curriculum. We have seen continuous literacy development with both kids. All of the teachers have degrees in early childhood education (or equivalent) and it shows. I have always had total confidence in the quality of care at this facility. In addition, David and Allison have fostered a genuine community here...we were there from the start and watched it develop organically. Unlike other daycares we have dealt with, we have seen limited turnover and we have seen some truly great caregivers stay around for the long haul - of particular note are Ms. Eileen, Ms. Liz, Ms. Chelsea, Ms. Alexis and others. When COVID came along, the school adapted thoughtfully to reduce risks and control spread of illness. They provided daily communications regarding active testing, health department guidance, etc. The result was everyone in our family stayed healthy for a year even with daily attendance of a 4-year-old. The facility was completely remodeled before opening and retains the character of the previous use (a school gym). Big windows are everywhere and the building is maintained in a very clean and secure manner. They have a big outdoor play area that is also very secure. I am confused how any reasonable person could complain about this building. We will miss this community when our daughter heads off for summer camp and kindergarten next month. This environment is hard to beat from a quality and value perspective.

After touring the school, we believed it would be an excellent fit for our family. We were informed…read moreby David (owner of the franchise location) that the waiting list would be approximately six months. Eagerly, we paid the $150 deposit and looked forward to enrolling our children. However, 12 months later, there was no progress on the waiting list, and we were still told we were "about six months out." At this rate, our kids will be in high school before they're admitted We connected with other local families who shared similar experiences and assumed the school was simply overwhelmed. However, we discovered one family, who happened to be friends with David, and they experienced virtually no wait time to enroll their 3-year-old in the school. Regrettably, we lost our $150 deposit and decided to move on. One point to consider is that the owners, Allison and David, had no early childhood education experience prior to opening this franchise location. On the surface, it appears they run the school more like a business than a service to the community. Think twice before handing over your $150 deposit.

Unfortunately we had to move so she was only there for 4 months but you wouldn't believe how much she learned in the short amount of time. Ms.Kris and Ms.Melissa are very good at sending out recap emails of the children's progress each day so you know what to follow up on when your child is home from school. All of the staff is friendly and they made our transition here extremely easy. I would recommend this pre-k program to every and anybody! It's well worth it for your child to be ready for kindergarten!

This review includes the email that I sent to the camp manager. He was incredibly rude and short…read morewith me - there was no apology at all, however they did refund my money for that week. We have been to the camps before, but this year it was beyond disappointing. Our daughter is enrolled in the 2-week camp: 7/26 - 8/6 and we have to tell you how disappointing this week has been. First of all, the counsellors are great and Grey really liked them - we have no complaints there. We want to bring to your attention just how the kids spent the week: Day 1: they went canoeing in a lake where the water is so filthy and toxic that the kids were told they could not get in the water at all and to make sure the water didn't go near their mouths as they would get extremely sick. Day 2: they went on a bike ride and were taken to a trail that was completely exposed and offered no shade. Ultimately, they could only ride for 30+ minutes before they had to call it quits as the kids were overheating. When the 100+ degree weather is taken into consideration, this seems like a ridiculous activity and a poor choice of bike path. Apparently they spend most of the day sitting under a tree to escape the heat. Day 3: a hike was planned but apparently one of the kids forgot their medication so once at their destination, they all sat around and waited over an hour for the child's mother to arrive with the medication. Once that was over they "hiked" for literally 20 minutes before loading up and driving back. Day 4: this was another water day an equally filthy lake. Even though the temperature was over 100 degrees, they couldn't jump in the lake. Day 5: this was the only day our daughter enjoyed because they finally went to a lake where they could jump in the water. When one takes into account the $100/day price tag we pay for your camp to show our children the kind of summertime outdoor adventures we as parents would have enjoyed taking them on ourselves, it seems as though all we paid for in the end was an elaborate daycare.

Our daughter has loved it here and you can feel genuine care coming from all the staff to her. Through many talks and guidance with her teachers and management, it was discovered that our daughter may have some neurodiversity and benefit from a public preschool that has more resources for her. The staff here genuinely chose our daughter's future success over her tuition and lovingly guided us to a better answer from her. I have zero doubt in my mind that our daughter would still succeed at Kiddie Academy. I'm just glad to have found a daycare/preschool that certainly sees a beautiful young child with so much potential over how our pocketbooks could help their bottom line. Ms. Teri, Mr. Ryan, Ms. Mimi, Ms. Ingrid, Ms. Helen, and so many more: our family is forever grateful for you.
