This is their new Carlisle office, which is such an improvement for my little and me (the old office was all the way in Lemoyne!) Just this weekend this office hosted a party with crafts and snacks for matches, after which we participated in a parade through Carlisle. It was an incredible time and the networking helped my little make a new friend! It sounds like they plan on doing one group activity a month out of this office, so we're really looking forward to a more active BBBS presence in the area. If you've ever thought about volunteering your time for a good cause, becoming a big is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make. The match support we've had from start to now has been great with this staff and I completely believe that they can help you connect with an amazing child in need of extra support!

I valued our time spent together not only because of what I learned from Amy and her team, but also for the energy and passion that I witnessed first hand for what they do each day! It's not easy working in this industry, but when you love what you do and treat each and every child and family like your own, it comes easy. I highly recommend bright beginnings and if I lived closer, my children would have went here without a doubt!

She built deep relationships with each teacher, every year- and they always treated her with love and respect. The leadership shines here with communication and availability- I don't know if they ever take a day off! We toured multiple daycares in the area and felt very confident that Tender Years was the best environment we could find for our little one- and that continued to prove to be the case every year. Our daughter has thrived and learned so much during her time here and I highly recommend Tender Years.

She has a unique way of making complex subjects accessible, which has led to incredible growth in my child's learning.

Her patience, creativity and genuine love for children are evident in everything she does. We are incredibly grateful for her positive impact in my kiddo's development and consider ourselves fortunate to have her as a teacher. Tender Years is truly lucky to have her!

We came to The Goddard School of Carlisle from another day care facility and our experience has…read morebeen night and day. At the time of this writing we have been there just short of a year. The school is extremely clean and welcoming by every teacher we have encountered. The Goddard School programming in general has a good reputation, however the staff currently implementing the programming at this school are absolutely excellent. We have to say the development of our child has improved drastically - that includes physical development, emotional development, and milestone development. It appears most teachers intermingle with all classes and our child is very familiar with all staff - you can see that at drop off and pick up as they always address our child by name. I would also like to touch on the ongoing confidence boost the current teachers are giving my child. They really interact and get to know the children and it really makes such a difference. Our child loves going in there. The hours are absolutely convenient for us which is not something we had before. The benefit of when my husband travels is that I don't have to leave work early to pick our child up and we can use that extra time. We do need to pack breakfast (unless you have time to give this at home) and lunch - which in the grand scheme is really fine with me now. It was a learning curve at first, but it gives me the opportunity to nutritionally decide what I will send in. Sometimes when other daycares are funded, the food is mass produced - and kind of gross. The school provides two snacks a day - this is very helpful! From our experience, you really get what you pay for. Here we see that we have made an investment in our child's future (even though still very young). We have another child on the way and could not imagine not enrolling our newest in this program. Like I said - the program is great - but the teachers hired really make it for us. We would 10/10 recommend this school.

Can't wait to see what more she learns in the future! The facility is always clean. We love the cameras and I find myself checking in to see what cool thing she's doing many times a day.
