    If you're looking for a wonderful preschool in the area, look no further. This school is fantastic…read more-- such a happy, safe, fun atmosphere with great teachers and staff. I have two kids here and we started over 4 years ago -- I've had a kid in every single room at this school, from early infant to private kindergarten, and many of the same teachers have been there the whole time. My kids love it. They are happy to go to school in the morning, and typically not ready to leave at the end of the day. I am so grateful for Primrose School of Erie!

    We started sending our older son to Primrose School of Erie at Vista Ridge when he was three month…read moreold in Jan 2011. Our younger boy started in the same school when he was 10 month old in 2014. Now they are 7 and 4, and our older one is in elementary school now. We love Primrose! Our boys always have wonderful time with Primrose. With caring teachers, wonderful staff, great curriculum, our boys have been growing into very confident, caring, and loving kids. They love their teachers. They love to make friends. They grew up with some good friends from infant classrooms to Pre-K or Kindergarten and they still have play dates and miss each other outside of the school. They love circles times and small groups everyone. They have learnt so much in school and often amazed us! Primrose has been an important part of our life in the last few years. We trust this school so much because we know our little ones would have great time there everyday. And if they have any issues, there are someone caring in school who is going to take care of them and to discuss issues with us. We are glad we made great choice to send our boys to this school a few years ago and strongly recommend this school to new parents! Thanks

    Would love to provide feedback about our wonderful teacher Ms. Heather - she has taught both of our…read morechildren now and owe so much to her in how she teaches and advances the students. She does an incredible job, teaches not only basic skills but also sets them up for kindergarten to make a much smoother transition. We cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for us.

    My experience with New Horizon Academy, as a single dad, has been appalling…read more For one, they can't figure out how to bill two separate households for one child, so I'm expected to dissect and reverse-engineer CREDITS on my ex-wife's statement in order to understand what I owe...with no explanation. I'm supposed to assume that credits without clear labeling on my ex's statement are my amount owed. "Hey, you should have asked for clarity"...I agree, so I did...REPEATEDLY. And, none was given. The Director of this "school" couldn't be bothered to take the time to actually respond to me for 6 weeks. She just kept resending the same invoices with no context provided. "You should have noticed a building balance on the invoices"...totally, only there's no balance on the statements that they sent in my ex's name, literally $0 on the balance line, so there's no past-due amount to settle - despite me repeatedly asking to do exactly that. When the school's director requested that we meet to untangle the mess, she couldn't be bothered to attend the meeting that she requested. No notice. No apology. Instead of meeting with me, she just sent out another invoice in my ex's name with a $0 balance as if that clarified anything. Her assistant verified that and expressed confusion as well, said that she'd have the Director follow up, and...that never happened either. Find a better facility for your children, this one ain't it.

This was very uncharacteristic of her. One Monday, at pick up my daughter was the only child left and I found her in a corner by herself crying. I was unable to settle her or get her to stop crying until after we got home that night. The teacher told me that my daughter was isolated like that after the other children had been picked up to work on 'regulating her emotions' (at just over a year old?). On Wednesday that week, when I picked her up, she was hysterical (again, this is very unlike her at home or in previous daycare). There was another child still in the class and a second teacher present this time. When I went to lift her up, the teacher told me that my daughter's hair was wet because "she needed to be spritzed a couple of times to help her regulate her emotions when she would not stop crying." I then noticed that her hair was soaked. I looked at the teacher in shock and she pointed at the wall where several spray bottles were hanging up and she stated that "some kids actually like being sprayed." I left immediately to gather myself and calm my child. I then emailed the director and requested an immediate meeting. We requested that a letter be sent to families of other children that could have also been treated this way by their teacher. Since a letter has yet to come out, and may never, I feel responsible to share our story with others. This is especially important since children in these classrooms aren't yet able to communicate these things with us. Ultimately, we lost trust in the school. Felt like there is a big miss here in terms of teacher education and general oversight in the classrooms. We pulled our daughter out. She has since joined a new daycare and is thriving. I am hopeful that the state licensing agency can help the school to reach the standard of other Goddard schools that we have previously known and loved.

    This place is REALLY bad everybody. This is not someone complaining about little things. There are…read moreMAJOR issues. Most pressing is the lax security. Their biometric scanner has been broken for like 2 years and every week, "We're having someone come out to fix it". Since it's broken they just buzz ANYONE in. I picked my daughter up maybe twice in almost 18 months and not a single time was I questioned or asked to show ID. Just to give some perspective our new daycare is tiny and maybe only has a total of 50 kids and they have TWO secure doors between the outside and the kids. TWICE my daughter was sent home with another girl's pants and no underwear. Day one we brought 5-6 pair of underwear and a few extra pair of pants. Every single week whether they were used or not my wife brought her clothes home and washed them and then took them back. When we called and asked why she was sent home without underwear they had no idea. I asked the teacher the next day and she said that they couldn't find her extra clothes. I walked over to my daughter's cubby and grabbed a bag full of clothes and showed it to the teacher. This place is the "Walmart" of daycare centers. They pack as many kids as they can into the building. In the morning they sometimes violate the rule for the number of teachers. I would drop my daughter off and there would be one teacher for 12-13 kids. The staff is confrontational and defensive if you report anything. We literally had no choice but to bring our daughter here and we got her out as soon as we moved into a new house. Two teachers from CLA currently work at my daughter's new daycare. They told us tons of horror stories about this place and how it's run. That's why they left and went to another center. Just please if you have to go here like we did then get on them about fixing the doors. I mean it. Have a friend of the family who is on your list but never been to the place before pick your kids up and I bet they walk right in and get them.

    I do not recommend their summer camp. They made a lot of promises during the tour to lure us in but…read moremy kids didn't get to do half the things they showed them. My oldest spent most of her time on her tablet. I spent way too much money for what they got. Very disappointed!
