They do a great job keeping the days fun, active, and really well organized. There's always a mix of sports, games, and creative activities, so the kids are never bored. They come home tired (in the best way) and excited to go back the next day. It's been a great fit for our family and we'll definitely be back again this year. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun and safe summer camp!

Great opportunities for children to have fun, develop and learn new skills, socialize and be a part of a fun and engaging environment! Lots to explore!

It's been 2 years since I first wrote my review, and I figured I'm ready for an update. Currently,…read moremy son is now in the 4-5 year olds class and I have an 18 month old daughter here as well. The facility is definitely expensive, but it is worth every penny. The facility itself is amazing. I love that they have multiple gyms and outdoor playgrounds so that year-round, there's plenty of places to get energy out. The daily activities and lessons are appropriate and engaging and I've watch my kiddos REALLY grow here, especially my son. The teachers here are simply amazing. The owners and director really pick awesome people to take care of our kids. I genuinely believe they care about the kids and give them both a nurturing but also a well-structured environment. When issues arise (which we only ever had one issue while we have been here the last 3 years), Chuck (the owner) took it super seriously and it was resolved. I strongly recommend this particular Goddard.

My son went here for summer camp in 2013. After several instances of bullying that went unaddressed…read moreby the college-aged camp counselors, we have come to the conclusion that the camp is unsafe. I pulled my child out of camp before the summer end. The camp has a "strict" conduct policy on paper that is clearly not enforced by the camp counselors or the camp director. Several calls to the camp owner went unreturned. We also experienced theft of a few nominal items, after which we learned take nothing of value to camp with you. One kid was even caught red-handed with my child's toy (taken from his backpack), but not disciplined for the theft. There are lots of other options in Carroll county, I suggest finding an alternative to this place if you care about the safety of your child.

It's a great camp to get your kids outdoors, running around, swimming and playing with other children their age. Hundreds of kids from the area attend the camp and my kids always find friends from school and make many new friends while there. I'm glad for the good value, the staff is cheerful and welcoming and they are all over 18 years of age. The kids come home happy and exhaused from all the fun.

Attended an event here where my daughter performed with the BSA choir!…read moreIt was such a great show. Seating is super limited so although we had seats, several folks were standing. The acoustics were pretty good. Performance was outstanding. Staff was a bit rude rushing parents into the theatre although they were trying to ask questions about parking and seating etc. Timing was not thoughtful as the event was at 5pm which was really tough due to downtown traffic and zero dedicated parking. Signage or direction could have been better. The address leads to the side entrance but the event entrance was around the corner. Ultimately, I will return for another show to support a local school that I respect so much, however, at least I know about parking and location in advance.

We decided to leave this preschool because we felt that the decisions being made by the management…read moreteam were not made with the best interests of the families who attended. The Director in my opinion is egotistical, and unstable. When 3/4 of the parents at this school had enough and decided to leave, the director would belittle and send out manipulating and unprofessional emails. The school had great teachers, but most of the teachers had a mass exodus from getting tired of the unprofessionalism shown by management. They also did not follow their own set of rules in their own handbook about giving deposits back. A vast amount of families had been owed next years deposits but the school decided to not abide by their own rules, leaving these families out of a lot of $. Our time spent here, was way too drama filled for a preschool! I would not recommend going here.

I have been a parent in the Davenport community for the past two years and my son is starting his…read more3rd year tomorrow. We are VERY excited!!! Before sending my son to Davenport, I visited A LOT of preschools. I can say that I couldn't find a stronger preschool or a better preschool for my son than Davenport. My husband and I are very picky and I can tell you that our son has thrived so much in this learning environment. Our son is a stronger critical thinker, more curious about lots of new ideas and concepts, and most important to us a better human because of his experience at Davenport. Obviously, as parents we talk to him about being kind and compassionate but Davenport helped him live out the principles we've been teaching him in his inclusive classroom. Our son has been exposed to students with learning differences and he's learned how to be in community with all types of learners. We are so grateful for that. I know that he will be a better community member in his next environment because of the exposure he received at Davenport. Additionally, our experience with the leadership has been very positive. When we first toured the school, we shared that we may have a foster child in our care due to the some challenges facing a family member. Liz and the team were incredibly supportive and were open to that possibility. I was so grateful for that. While the young boy didn't come to live with us, I had comfort and slept better at night knowing that if he had come, he would have had a home at Davenport. I also appreciated how forthright and transparent the leadership was when the Towson campus closed. I can only imagine how difficult that situation was for Liz and the team but I appreciated how they shared information about the campus closure and transition to Sparks before our enrollment forms were due. They had multiple parent meetings, made themselves available for individual meetings, and stayed in constant contact with the Towson community. I couldn't have asked for more out of the team. And they did all this while dealing with their own experiences of loss. Because of our previous research, it wasn't even a question. We were going to Davenport Sparks! And we made that decision even though my husband has a 90 minute commute to pick up our son in the evening. I have also found them to be incredibly supportive of my son. They have always put him in the right classes to foster his development. They really know what they are doing when they pair students with teachers and they set up classes. Each child has a different personality and yet I have always found they have the right mix and my son always has a great community of students and a great teacher. I have loved his teacher each and every year!!! Finally, I have found the leadership to be very open. For example, diversity in the student body and faculty is very important to me. I've shared my commitment to diversity and the importance of diversity. The leadership took my commitment to heart and I am so proud of the increased diversity I've seen in the school community over the past few years. I honestly cannot write enough positive things about Davenport and the team there. I am so grateful and I cannot imagine what I would do without them.
