We moved our son here after his previous school just didn't have the time to handle him. He is ALL…read moreboy and full of adventure, non stop as they say. The teachers here don't just write up an incident they take the time to address the problem and correct it using learning techniques.. They have taken the time to get to know my son and how to "handle" him! He is so much happier at this school and we couldn't be more pleased with the care he is receiving! He is provided healthy meals and we are receiving daily reports of his activities through an app. Our son isn't fighting us every morning to go to school anymore and we have noticed a change in his behavior overall.

Very unprofessional establishment. As someone who has been inside the building and has seen what…read morehappens in their classrooms, I am begging you to not send your children there. There's no order at all. During lessons, children wander off and do whatever they wish, and the teacher doesn't even try to stop them. A child threw up, and the staff kept him there instead of getting him picked up. When trying to explain to me that a child had Autism, a teacher used the 'crazy' gesture. They do not care about your kids. Send your children somewhere better, where they're actually cared about.

The owner is rude and a liar. She would say that certain information had been communicated to us…read more"multiple times" and, upon reviewing all communications we had from her or anyone else at the school, nothing had been received in ANY of our email accounts. The staff turnover is insane because people don't want to work for her. At one point a teacher asked parents to please consider not sending in peanut butter products because one child was allergic (if you know anything about peanut allergies, even peanut residue in the air can cause BIG problems) and was yelled at by the owner that they could not ask that of the parents. The classrooms are constantly at or over capacity because of the inability to keep staff, and thankfully the former director did have the foresight to shut down one day because they legally did not have the help to be open. There were plenty of other times this probably should have happened too. I haven't felt like my child was truly safe at that school for a while and started looking for other options once the ones I felt did keep him safe left. Oh there was also the COVID scare where they did not enforce their own policy that parents had to wear a mask to drop off and pick up their child(ren) which resulted in said parent coming in direct contact with teachers while infected, but also resulted in said parent sending the child (in my son's room) to school while infected. There were also two teachers infected by other sources and that fact was NEVER officially communicates to parents. There is also the mandatory super camp activities that are NOT in the enrollment agreement and add an extra $200 one month to the cost of tuition. I would recommend that anyone with other options steers clear of this particular school. If you like the Goddard curriculum, try to enroll in one of the other ones in the area, as they do have a different owner. This is school does not live up to the standards I had heard about for YEARS for Goddard.

I called yesterday to get information about this location. I was greeted and had a wonderful…read moreconversation with Ashley about enrolling my little one. I called back this morning to set up an interview/walkthrough of the facility. This is how the call went: Brooke: good morning thank you for calling Goddard in Mechanicsburg, this is Brooke. Me: Good morning Brooke, how are you? Brooke: click... hung up the phone. I assume that maybe because my wife and I are military and our phones are out of state, maybe she thought I was a telemarketer. I call back and they let it go to voicemail. I left a very polite voicemail thanking Ashley for her time, and we will be enrolling our child in a different school.
