If you have a hyper child who has outbursts of emotions and tests boundaries-- the director of this location will do whatever she can to label your child and call you after any incident to have child picked up for early dismissal. As parents we started believing that our child might have emotional delay and started getting help from the school district to early intervene. If you ask about their methods of dealing with unwanted behavior, you won't be able to talk to the teacher-- because only director can communicate with parents about any classroom issues. There is no consistency or any age appropriate methods to help guide your child. It's really scary that this place has such a "good reputation". Since we enrolled my daughter at another facility-- literally zero behavioral issues or complaints by the teachers or the daycare director, she's learning about her emotions, she's being guided instead of being labeled. She doesn't require additional learning support because her teacher is an educator who teaches her to manage her behavior and emotions. I know this place was not a right fit for my family-- and that's ok. However, a childcare facility SHOULDN'T ever be allowed to operate this way. As a parent, I have major trust issues after my experience with Hockessin KinderCare because I really hoped they had my child's best interest in mind. Instead, they are operating as a business and not an educational institution.

I was very trepidatious about sending him to school out of our home, and am very new to the area, so finding the right place for him was a nerve-wracking process.

Really terrific school with wonderful administrators (Lisa, Essence, and Payal, the owner) who are extremely hands on and involved with all aspects of the running of the school, and it shows.

Leaving your kids to go to work each day can be hard, but attending this school made it so much easier and we never have to worry about their safety or well-being while they are here.

It was not the closest, but was (by far) the safest and cleanest school with the most experienced staff. The administrative staff is fantastic...they are well organized and provide outstanding structure to ensure the safety of the children and cleanliness of the school. They attract and retain top talent which is evident by the years of experience you see across the teaching staff. As for the Infant Care team...they are literally UNBELIEVABLE! Without a doubt, handing your first child over to a non-family member for care can be an emotional and stressful experience. We could not have hand-picked a better group to care for our little man. He validated that with a HUGE smile on Day 1...leaving mom a little more at ease with the first drop-off. Like us, you will probably tour several different daycares to find the right one...but like us, I am confident that you will find Goddard - Chadds Ford to be at the top of your list.

We originally signed up for Christ Church with head of school Kim Wagner who was absolutely…read morewonderful in accommodating our son into their 4 year long pre school program. We sent our son to Christ church for their 15 month program for the 2023-2024 school year and loved it. When it came time to start the 2024-2025 school year we were surprised right before the start of school our son would be placed in the first year class again instead of moving up to the 2s and continuing the plan of the 4 year program they offer and he was the only student doing so. We enrolled in February of 2024 right when reenrollment was offered and we were never told that repeating a level could be a possibility nor would of been okay with it. When we first mentioned this to the brand new head of school Mrs. Abio she told us she would do whatever needed to be done to get him into the right level even if it required moving some things around. When we then met Mrs. Abio in person her tone had changed completely. She offered no resolution and instead only tried to convince us that after popping in on our son for two days she knew exactly where he was developmentally and that he was in the right place with children younger than him in their first year of schooling. She had no concern that we already saw our son was a lot further along than the children in his new class, she seemed to have no care for any of our concerns and wanted to tell us her plan for our child with none of our input. Mrs. Abio insisted that with our son's birthday he would be in two years of one level even though his birthday was similar to children he attended the first year with and would of continued on to kindergarten with at the same time. She boasted how the school always pairs with families to develop a plan and to figure out what parents want from the school but their was no such conversation with us. Mrs. Abio's handling of our situation and showing us her classroom ratio was far more important than building a relationship with a family and hearing our concerns led to our decision to withdrawal our son from CCEP. We know where our child is developmentally and it was not where he was placed even when we enrolled plenty in advance to reserve his placement. Let alone the fact she would not acknowledge that with her proposal he would miss an entire year of their offered program and be a year behind the entire time there. He would of had two years of level one which is 15-under 24 months, gone to two year old program when he was already 3 and then gone to 3s when he was 4 and completely missed their PreK level which is normally for 4 and up. Requirement for 2s was 2 by September 1st and his birthday is in June. The new leadership at CCEP has been extremely eye opening and disappointing. I would highly recommend looking into other establishments. This is not the school it was just a short time ago when we initially enrolled and it is very sad to see. A school that advertises themselves as one of the best pre kindergarten programs should hold themselves to a higher standard. EDIT: It is nice to know there is no priority for returning students in your 4 year plan leading to kindergarten. What you and Mrs. Abio fail to admit is that our son would of missed a whole year of the program before going to kindergarten. We declined your meeting because there was no point the decision was already made and you only reached out after all was said and done. The fact you stand by this decision and Mrs. Abio was so firm that she knew exactly where our son was just makes it more clear we made the right decision. Our son was the only RETURNING child in his class. That is a fact and the way we were treated was as we were an unwanted family and it was very upsetting. The teachers in the new class also informed us he was the oldest but I guess CCEP leadership likes to be dishonest and mislead. It has all been a very eye opening experience about a institution we thought was so great. All we asked for was the same program and treatment for our son as all the students he entered the school with because they were all going to kindergarten at the same time but that seemed to be too much to ask.
