We had our daughter at the Goddard School in Plymouth Meeting since 2019 and our experience there…read morerecently swung from overall satisfaction to abrupt discontent where we ended up looking forward to her last day there. A few months ago we couldn't imagine saying something like that, but we quickly changed our minds after an inexcusable and unexpected back and forth with the co-owners. First we will say, the teachers at Goddard have been great. Although we haven't been able to meet any of them for the past 2 years due to the pandemic, my daughter has had nothing but good things to say about her teachers and she has learned a lot from them. We've come to learn that this school may be a perfect fit for a family who will quietly fall in line and not question policies set in place by the co-owners. I think this is why we didn't see their apparent true colors for all these years, we didn't ever question anything. The issue started after the CDC dropped the mandatory masking recommendation for children. They required the kids wear their masks inside and outside (even in the dead of summer). We asked a few simple questions about when they plan to go mask-optional, and were immediately shut down with vague statements like "... we decided that we were going to continue to require masks through the end of the winter virus season" and that "we trust that you respect our right to make our own policies". This is when we started to see that policy making at Goddard can be made up with no actual facts communicated to back it up and with no known parent input whatsoever. Not only were our questions immediately shut down, we felt shamed as though we were the only parents with any questions, which we know is not true. Coincidentally, the same day we asked about the masking policy, the school's Instagram page was populated with "parent emails" thanking them for continuing to require masking. Our emails back and forth continued as we tried to seek any information about what criteria needed to be met in order for the children to be mask-optional, as every other daycare/school/county had already been made mask-optional. We were told by the co-owners that we were being "insulting", that we must have "covid fatigue", they were not going to be answering any of our questions and that "there are other schools that (we) might feel more comfortable" sending our daughter to. Can you imagine? After 3 years at the school, being told we should look elsewhere because we questioned a policy for the first time? Parents trying to get details regarding a policy that effects their child every single day and we are told we are insulting and that they are not going to answer our questions simply because they didn't actually have the answers? Aside from their inability to provide information regarding their policies, the shocking disrespect we received for questioning them is ultimately the reason we decided to unenroll our daughter early. We just felt it was important to relay our experience for those considering enrolling their children.

We switched our son to this location in June of this year 2022 from another school in Philly and we are totally satisfied with the way they run their school.

Our son is so much more happier at this location and learning compared to the other school that we left. They spend alot of focus on the Kids learning and development. I'm very happy that my wife and I made the switch to this location.

I would definitely recommend this childcare center.

We only have experience in the infant room, but they do arts and crafts on a regular basis and get as much outdoors time as the weather conditions permit. Our son loves swinging and watching the older kids run around the playground. He started just a few weeks before Mother's Day, and the afternoon I picked him up and had a Mother's Day "gift" from him, I could have cried. We're going to miss you all!

Met the owner in her very cluttered office after waiting outside the door (with keypads). Checked out the toddler room and just seemed crazy. 6:1 ratio. parents have to pack lunches (no kitchen on site) but they provide snacks. When returning to the office, the older kids were coming in from outside and walking thru the office saying hello to the owner. She knew most by name.

We called to check in 7 months into the year wait and were told they never said June and they didn't have timeframe as to when we could start but that it wouldn't be June or the summer. The following week, we received an email stating they wanted an extra $450 per child to remain on the waitlist, which would be okay if they could give us a start date. The fact that they want more money after we already gave them the money they initially asked for is a bait and switch. How can people possibly plan their lives and to go to work when they give you false dates and them take them back? We are now 8 months behind where we were initially when finding a daycare because we need to start over and all the waitlists are a year and a half. I thought we had a solid place to send our children but was told by them that I should have had a back up plan. What?!? I now have to resign from my job to care for my children due to the actions of these people. Send your child anywhere else.

The owner of this place is a greedy scumbag and we plan on filing a law suit. This is straight up greed and burglary. FYI, Goddard School reimbursed THEIR parents money for the two weeks. I have emailed several News outlets and also filed a complaint with the BBB.

When we first moved to Philadelphia, our daughter was five months old and had never been cared for…read moreby anyone but my wife and I and our extended family. I was very apprehensive about putting her in daycare and I knew nothing about what to even look for in a daycare. At Growing Tree, I felt at ease right from when I walked through the door for that first visit to check the place out. The staff is incredibly friendly and each and every one of them cares a great deal about their work and approaches every day that way. My daughter grew to love it very quickly while the staff was very accommodating of my overly concerned checking in on her during the first couple of weeks. The facility is spacious and has lots of natural light, great toys, and a large outdoor space (which also has lots of nice equipment). They are also fully supportive of cloth diapering, which was great for us. The staff was very responsive any time we raised any concerns (which was very rarely) and always wanted to work with us to make things better. The prices are also incredibly reasonable considering the quality of the services provided. Finally, the daycare also puts on lots of great events and excellent programming for the children of all age groups without any added cost. My daughter is now 2 years and 4 months old and I'm devastated that we have to leave Growing Tree because we are moving to Chicago for my job. Growing Tree was one of, if not the best thing for our family about living in Philadelphia and I have no doubt that had we stayed here she would have continued there right through their pre-K program. In the time we were at Growing Tree, my daughter went from being a baby who could barely roll over to a toddler who plays in the sand and talks about everything from kitties to stoplights and the teachers and staff at Growing Tree were there for every step of the journey nurturing her development and helping us so much along the way. It's difficult to put into words how much this means to me, but it's something I will never forget. When my daughter talks about the teachers and staff at daycare there is so much love that is evident in her voice and my heart breaks that she has to say goodbye. But, I take some solace in knowing that her time here has built a foundation for the rest of her life--not just because she learned how to drink out of a cup or sit in a circle, but because she also learned how to have a friend, how to treat people with respect and kindness, and what it means to be a part of a community. Especially now, the world can be a really horrifying place but every now and then you come across people who make you feel good about humanity and I felt that way every time I dropped my child off or picked her up at Growing Tree. The people there have changed my daughter's and our lives for the better and she is just one of hundreds of children who will get to benefit from being in such a nurturing environment thanks to their selfless efforts.
