We have now been coming for over 3 years and are so grateful we found this church! Their Children's ministry program is incredible (and not just on Sundays!). They have so many opportunities for all ages, from Core groups for college age-empty nesters to a great Women's and Men's ministry. There is a place for every one. The worship team is so skilled and does a fantastic job not making it feel like a "concert" but still giving a modern and up-to-date feel for all ages. Their teachings and sermons hit to mark Every. Single. Time. God is fully present within this church. We have never left feeling anxious, inadequate, unloved, unwanted, or unseen. The welcome team notices you whether it's your first day there or your 100th day there. Our 2 young kids love their teachers and leave feeling happier than ever! We love being part of this church as it continues to help our family and community grow.

(Caveat: that's a Christian concert but aside from the words in the songs, the festive atmosphere makes this almost hard to notice!) Yes, GFC is a somewhat non-traditional congregation where Christian lyrics rather than hymns are sung, sermons are available for sale on tape, and the crowd of attendants genuinely enjoys the service. The pastors speak to topics that are very applicable to young people and tend to be on thought-provoking, moving material. Grace features a younger crowd than most traditional places of worship and offers numerous bonding activities for folks of all ages. The GFC community is friendly and really supportive of newcomers so if you're looking for a new church home, definitely check them out. To accommodate various schedules, GFC has services on Saturday nights as well as ~3 on Sunday mornings.

Visited Goldfish Swim School for a birthday party. Prior to arriving we filled out an online waiver…read morefor my son. Forced me to create an account, provide details about where we live and leave a phone number. The process was a bit confusing as they also asked for credit card to be on file even though we weren't purchasing anything, just trying to attend a party. Thankfully the host of the party had sent out a detailed text letting the party attendees know how to accurately fill out the form. The party itself was cool. We arrived at the allotted time and were greeted by an employee who seemed the party host. She took our gifts and we went in and mingled a bit while others arrived. Once they were ready to start, the kids were taken to the pool area, which was separated from the non swimmers and party area by a floor to ceiling glass wall that ran the length of the pool. Keeping the wet and dry separate.... brilliant idea! The host gave them instructions, lifeguards did a quick swim test and then the kids got to swim. After swimming, pizza was served, cake was served, birthday songs were sung and games were played. The host and lifeguards served the pizza, cut and served the cake and got the games started. There were ample changing areas (I believe at least nine) so that kids weren't standing around wet and waiting to change. Once the party was done the swim school provided goody bags that included a balloon, cotton candy, a coloring page and a couple trinkets. I'm not sure if during the waiver process I filled in the wrong thing but I have received at least one call since the party asking about swimming lessons. I don't love that. Goldfish Swim School hosted an excellent party. Registration was a bit tedious and it remains to be seen how much solicitation will occur post party, that's what makes this a four star instead of five star experience.

Goldfish Swim School was not a good fit for our family. During our 4-year-old daughter's first (and…read moreonly) lesson at Goldfish, she was dunked underwater multiple times, which left her so upset that she refused to go back. Our 8-year-old was so uncomfortable with what he saw that he wouldn't even get in the water. The pool also felt overcrowded, with too many kids in the class for the level of attention and comfort our children needed. A few days later, we contacted the school to explain the situation and request a refund. We were told that refunds are not provided under any circumstances and that there was nothing they could do. I get that we agreed to the policy when we signed up but there should be exceptions. Goldfish may work well for some families, but it was not the right environment for our kids, and our experience left us very disappointed.

Principal D. told me to go to the older grade's science lab. He poured toxic liquid mercury on the…read moretable. He told me to touch it. I didn't know it was poison and did what I was told. The mercury disappeared into my finger. Classmates attended a bat mitzvah (the only one I was invited to). My parents did not want me to miss school. The teachers made us sit in class doing nothing all day. They would hardly talk to us. To make it worse, Principal D. came in and said, "If you feel like a sucker, you are a sucker." Hmmmm I feel like a sucker not just for today but for the whole religion. Some get to take hot showers on religious holidays, while others are forbidden. Infuriating to find out. Who gets shunned? Who gets called crazy? Who is religious? Who is not? Who is the Judge? Why look down on people with uncovered elbows. Yet accept obnoxious behavior to others. Why prance around frum (religious) when you think it is okay to treat others badly? Like poison a child at school with toxic mercury. Like neighbors dumping their roof water, sump pump water and taking it all the way through tubes into their neighbor's yard. Then digging a neighbor's yard without asking permission first and putting in additional drainage tubes to take their yard water into their neighbor's yard on top of that. When you can direct it out to the nearby street. Then not doing anything when the neighbor lets you know their yard already gets flooded. And their yard looks like you did not fix this and then went and dug a deep hole on their property without permission. Sounds like sins to me trespassing, digging property that is not yours, digging up and stealing dirt, damaging with your water. Did they take the dirt to fill the holes in their yard? Looks like to me. That house had flooding problems with several different owners and renters moving out one after the other. One rental couple moved out and I could smell a terrible smell all the way next door coming from the house. After, I went in with the then owner and saw about two feet of water on the floor. It smelled very bad. I wouldn't want to live there. Why is obnoxious and damaging behavior like flooding someone's yard okay? These neighbors' behavior motivated me to write this. It reminded me of school. Why do you want to make your next door neighbor not like you? I heard the house sold in two days. Maybe they need to think through more before doing things? This is keeping me up at night worried. And upsetting me during the day. The Christian neighbor on the other side mowed my father's lawn for free on his own for a whole summer when my father was ill. Can someone help with these neighbors? It hasn't been rainy. But in the past before they added these ground drainage tubes, already with their roof water and sump pump water, the yard was covered in water and stayed muddy after for a long time even with our own drainage tubes that go out to the street. Lots of water ended up in the yard from them. Mud gets in the house and car. Just that was disgusting of them ending their tubes right into our yard. And the neighbors before them did this were also "frum." It is disgusting to treat an 80 year old fellow frum man like this and upset the family. Why not teach to be respectful to all people so people are treated better. I also left this school without the ability to say no. Stuff I said no to the school made me do: go on stage in a choir in front of a large audience, sell chocolates, had to go work not paid at a hospital and old age home, etc. I quit both years. Why send me to a hospital the second year when I quit the first year? I really don't like hospitals and didn't ask to be sent there. I was young and had no nursing training. I had to feed a really old lady with no teeth. She could have choked and died. Went from selling coffee and cake to a nightmare without preparing me. It was not something I was comfortable doing. I didn't go back and I cannot stand to listen to people chew after that. Did they just make the students who didn't go to sleepaway camp do this? The students who went to sleepaway camp together came back and formed cliques. A classmate asked me for a ride to a wedding. Saying she needed someone to drive her. I went to pick her up. As I waited for her to get ready, her sister asked right in front of me if she wanted to go with her as she was driving in her empty car and going to the same wedding. She then made me drive her unnecessarily as I could not say no. I dropped her off, at the wedding I was not invited to, and she said mean things to me.I think a religious, good person would not act like this. Gym was usually machanaim something like dodge ball. I just stood there to get out of the game fast. If someone is just standing there dreading getting hit, why throw the ball at them really hard and hurt them. Was this daily? And yearly. Why was this abuse promoted? This is a religious school so why not teach to be more respectful of others?

Overall, going to this school has been a very positive experience for me. Unlike schools like High…read moreRoad, this place has an environment based on love rather than fear, and the students thrive because of it. I feel like I have to mention High Road because of how bad of an experience I had there. I like to think maybe a parent considering that school may see this and reconsider. High Road was very cold and strict, the staff was almost inhuman, and violence was the answer to every problem their students had. The teachers here feel very human, and they very much care about their students. Their problems were de-escalated rather than escalated further. The students are so much less violent than that of High Road, but they obviously house the same type of kids. It may not be a perfect school, but it's leagues ahead of High Road in the way they treat their students. I was very hesitant to trust this school because of my experience with High Road, but I am very glad I did. For contrast, see my review on High Road here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/high-road-school-white-marsh?hrid=3CL5CogM4yfijlaBrssjGg&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) I will add more to this review when I feel the need, but it is currently 12:24 AM and I'd like to sleep.
