Not only are the teachers highly trained, qualified, career educators; every staff and administrative member here seems highly qualified and committed to creating a positive, educational environment. The curriculum and resources are wonderful, and the space (particularly the renovated rooms) beautiful. They offer flexible schedules with many different options for working parents or those that just want their child to benefit from the Montessori mornings. We really appreciate the fact that they foster, teach, practice, and celebrate diversity. One of our favorite events was the school's International Dinner. The outdoor space is great, and they have art, tumble tots, and music programs weekly, special events for the kids throughout the year (such as animal visits, ballet shows, music performances), in addition to the Montessori program and the after-care options (which features a lot of creative play, cooking, and play spaces that are updated with new themes monthly). I strongly believe that any childcare setting should make you feel happy whenever you walk in- and that is the case for us. I love walking in to Bala House. To be honest, I was actually very worried and unsure about starting my daughter in a Montessori school. I had never had this experience and from the outside the teaching model seemed a little cold and isolating. Also, my daughter has a ton of energy and I was worried she'd be too wild to sit nicely on a little mat "doing her work." And I was worried about the class size- 24 kids seemed like a lot. But, I was surprised to find that despite being on the young end, she sits and focuses on her projects. She seems to enjoy the opportunity to choose activities for herself, and she gets tons of interactions with other kids, in a mixed-age setting (she loves the older kids!) She's made a ton of friends and is learning so much- socially, emotionally, and academically. And- many days she begs me for more time at pick-up, which I take as the most important stamp of approval ;) I also have to note what a great experience this has been for us as parents, to have this community. When we moved here from out of state last summer, not only did my daughter quickly, happily, and easily transition into the summer camp program (a great way to transition in, by the way- although they also have "phasing in" days for new students to help with this process) - but we also had an instant network. It was easy to make friends through the school's many events and parent's association. It is a community I'm enormously grateful for. Finally, I have to give a shout out to Miss Adiya. We love you! :-)

Goddard school Newtown square: 1 child in school, started…read moreat 2.5 years old, now 4. Cost is $1,700/month. My child is currently enrolled at the Goddard School in Newtown Square, PA. While the staff and teachers are friendly, for $1,700/month for one child (2+ years old) I don't feel we get the experience that we're paying for. To start, the program is not tailored to the individual child's needs. So, if you believe your child would benefit to go up one class (within reason of course) you're given a nonchalant "we don't do that" response. The school's drop off and pick up procedure is honestly something straight out of hell. To the parents with more than one child - you're saints. The school seems terribly under staffed, which is ridiculous because the building is very small with a large number of kids. On a consistent basis, you will go to your child's classroom to pick them up to find out they're not in their classroom because they were moved to a different room due to staffing. Also, routinely the children do not go outside. During inclement weather is one thing, but too often it's apparent the teachers and other staff find it easier for them if the children don't go outside (I.e., it's too hot or too cold for the teachers). Frequently, teachers don't greet you or are busy on their cell phones rather than paying attention to the children. Additionally, the playground area is very small and limited particularly for a class size of 20 children (that's just my child's class, I don't know the sizes of other classrooms). Frequently the communication from the school lacks professionalism, including proper punctuation and grammar, leaving me to wonder what they are teaching my child. On more than one occasion my child's name has been horribly misspelled on their belongings. On one hand it's no big deal, but given it's a learning environment and they are in a critical period of learning how to read and write, I feel like this should be a given. It is also apparent that the school's owner and administrators are more concerned for what is most convenient for them rather than the school as a whole. Running a school I'm sure is no easy feat. It would be beneficial for Goddard NTS to bring someone in to aid in running the operation more effectively and efficiently. Last, my child has experienced multiple minor incidents where she gets hurt. The school completes their incident report and will notify you. When you get the story from the teacher though we're constantly left with asking "well where was the teacher." Our reason for staying at the Goddard School comes down to other schools' availability (and lack there of). That said, I would like to note while some of the teachers lack enthusiasm even though they teach children under 5, there is still a significant number of teachers who put the children first and are adored by the children. I can't say enough about Ms. Rosetta, Ms. Stephanie, and Ms. Dana. They are fabulous, always very helpful, and attentive. And, although I have my concerns, for the most part I would say my child enjoys going to school (as much as any toddler would). Fun fact: Be cautious of Google reviews about the Goddard School Newtown Square. I posted this on Google but the school won't post it.

My daughter comes home with new skills every day that blow me away (they teach them sign language). It is not just a school, but a second home. There is so much warmth and love and attention there. I couldn't recommend it more. I plan to keep her there through preschool, knowing that it's not only the best education she'll get but the best care.
