It has gotten very crowded since it became a SWAS site as the siblings of SWAS attend as well. We saw the K class half day become a full day option, with 30 kids in the full day. One teacher and an aid....way crowded throughout. Our son was too distracted with a big class, so we were discouraged, but by years end our K student was reading end of first grade readers! They do group kids by level of learning even within a class. Our 2nd grader was in a class of 36 kids, with two teachers, but it was way large. They did again tiered learning, so he did great too.

Molly Lauf, our Principal, is wonderful with the children and is always looking for ways to improve the school. The Hunsberger PTA puts on several family-friendly events throughout the year and purchases much of the state of the art technology that the school district does not provide. In addition to purchasing equipment, the PTA also supports several programs that are not offered or paid for through the district, such as Foss kits, Kindness Enrichment programs and art. The Hunsberger art program offers all students opportunities to learn about artists and different mediums such as watercolors, oil pastels, acrylics as well as ceramic art. I love seeing all of the hallways lined with the art the kids have created! Not only is the school itself great, but the parents, many of whom volunteer their time on a regular basis are fantastic and always willing to help each other and look out for each others children. I am SO glad that I chose to live where I do, and part of that decision was based on the schools we are zoned for! All in all, this school is amamzing.......now, if only there was something we could do about the chaotic parking lot traffic! (Ha!)

My daughter has been going to Excel since kindergarten and I am happy with the school. The…read morespiritual component is the reason that we chose the school. Bible is a regular subject and there are daily prayers and a weekly chapel where all grades gather for worship and then to listen to an age-appropriate Biblical message. It's comforting knowing that our values and beliefs are being reinforced at school by like-minded adults, most of whom see their job at Excel as a ministry. Another aspect that I really appreciate is the small class sizes. There is only one class per grade, so my daughter has been with the same group of kids throughout her school career. This has allowed her to form deeper friendships than she would be able to having to start over with a new class each year and it also means I am familiar with most of her classmates and their parents so I know who she is hanging out with and what kind of homes they are from. Each teacher so far has had his or her own teaching style and personality, but I have no complaints about any of them. They have all been very loving and caring in their own way. Excel is non-Denominational and not sponsored by any particular church or denomination, so there is a diverse mix of students and teachers who attend many different Christian churches in the area. While it's a small school, it is still relatively ethnically diverse for its size. I expected that there would be a trade off with diversity when we chose to send our daughter there, but have been pleasantly surprised that she has never been the only person of color in her class and our interracial family has never once felt out of place or discriminated against in the slightest. Academically, I have no complaints. The curriculum (besides Bible, obviously) seems pretty standard and similar to what you'd find in a public school. My daughter is on part with her grade level. Yes, it is a private school. Yes, you have to pay money for something that the government is willing to give you for "free," but it's money well spent, in my opinion. We aren't wealthy. We are a working class family struggling to get by, but we are happy to go without many things to know that our children are growing up being taught about the redeeming love of Christ at the place they spend most of their waking hours because at the end of the day that's what will give them the best shot at being happy in life.

Between both of my kids, they have gone there for over 6 years. The owners and staff have been amazing. Life changed and they adapted to the changes with no questions asked; all they said was "anything you need, communicate." All of the teachers through out our years with the goose have been exceptional, Ms Tima has and always will be my children's favorite teacher ever. She got into a bad accident last year visiting her family, and my children cried, they wanted to make sure Ms. Tima was okay. WE are SO blessed she is still here with us today. My daughter LOVED helping Tima with anything in the classroom and Tima knew she could always count on my daughter to help her. Ms Tori, you may feel like you're not recognized enough, but you ARE. You are SO appreciated, loved, and thank you for making sure the school is the way it is. The school couldn't be the way it is, without YOU! Lastly, Bridget and your family -- we cannot thank you guys enough from welcoming our family with arms wide open, loving, caring, and teaching our children for the last 6 years. You guys have gone through changes with us and through all of that, you and the staff was nothing short of amazing, supportive people that we adore. I cannot thank you and your staff enough for getting us through it all and allowing my children to have a safe place, teaching them, and allowing them to grow into themselves. We already miss you guys and I promise to bring them and send cards. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. I will FOREVER recommend the goose to any family that's needing assistance. I have had golden goose's phone number on my "favorites" list and the app for 6 years, I'm not ready for those things to go away yet. I cannot thank you guys enough.

They expected students to check in periodically but never answer phone calls. Practically it is your child alone working on trying to get assignments done that are never explained to them. The staff, when you actually speak to them, are rude, unprofessional, and uneducated. I am not sure where they find these teachers and principals but it's definitely not people that should be certified to teach or work with children. They are all thugs. They are also a scam of a school. The school does not count as education and therefore if your child is transferred somewhere else they will repeat the grade because this is not a legitimate institution. Do not send your kids here, it is a trick to make money off the government for your child. They do not care about your child's education. Do not make the mistake to set your child up for failure.

Every time I walk in, it's clear that the kids are genuinely happy. My child, in particular, loves the friendships she's forming and is even learning to be bilingual at just 3 years old! The biggest little learning center focuses on child growth and development though play and individual leaning aid. I truly feel that this is an incredible asset for my daughter's growth as she continues to get older. The director fosters a supportive environment by encouraging staff to further their education and engage in personal development. She collaborates with state programs to ensure success, which leads to better outcomes for child care. The low turnover rate and happy staff make a huge difference--it's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children, which provides peace of mind for parents. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their children!

DO NOT RECOMMEND…read more They overcharged us one week tuition when we were no longer enrolled. This was 6 weeks ago. We called over 10 times and sent multiple emails and literally get a different BS explanation every time or no answer at all. They don't have an answering machine or service and are super unresponsive. I'm officially reporting them to the better business bureau for refusing to refund the money they owe us. Not great - you're getting what you pay for. This is definitely more of a daycare than a school, there was no curriculum and no emphasis on learning that I witnessed at all. Also, the staff is super inconsistent on logging activity in the app. Most days, I had no idea if he had a nap or eaten normally. The facility is very dirty, even the director's office when you walk in is filthy. They keep all of the children in one tiny room most of the time with very little to engage them. Our two-year-old was kept with much younger children and picked up terrible habbits in the one month he was there including hitting and screaming. The staff would always say he had a good day, but half the time he was crying when we picked him up which is not his usual demeanor. My husband also witnessed a much older child (belonging to a staff member) hitting smaller children on the very first drop off day and no one interviened. The tuition is low and they include snacks and meals, but they aren't nutritions options I would choose at home
