Our family has had a fabulous first year at Harrisburg Academy! We find the teachers and…read moreadministrators very responsive. The curriculum is exceptional. The values, educational emphasis, and vision of this school as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School are second-to-none. If you want the best for your child (K through 12), this is a terrific school! What I find exceptional about the school is the level of care of the teachers and staff. My child is not just a number. With small class size, the attention on each child is great. Teachers and staff members, who do not have my child in class, know him by name and greet him daily. There are plenty of school-wide activities that are wonderful to participate in, as a parent. It truly is not just a place to get an amazing education, it is a family of like-minded individuals, who want the best for their children and who want something more than the typical public school education. I'll finish with this: what sold me on the Academy is the emphasis on preparing "thinkers" for a world that is constantly-changing; they gear their education to teach children "how" to problem-solve, not just how to memorize for the test; they acknowledge the global-connectedness that our world is currently experiencing, and as such their philosophy is train the students to be prepared for the globally-connected workplace, not just how to graduate with a diploma. As a full-continuum International Baccalaureate (IB) World School they are preparing these children for the future. I want my child to be his best and have terrific educational opportunities. I have no doubt that that is what we are getting at the Harrisburg Academy. We hope to keep our son there through grade 12! I hope this review was helpful to you.

The best part is that parents can volunteer in the classroom without so many restrictions as public school. Background checks are required of course. With the new leadership I expect many great things to come at the academy. It has recently become an IB world school for all grades K-12 (not just a couple years in high school at other schools in the area). This is hands down the best preschool around so even if you end up moving your kids to public school in 1st grade you'll get your money's worth.

To everyone at Little Learners, THANK YOU for helping Grayson grow in such a positive way!

As a parent, I've been very impressed by the school's Headmaster, High School and Middle School Principal, the teachers/staff and coaches. Having just transferred a child from CV School District, we were struck by the rigor of the academics (CV spends months reviewing the previous year's material... not at HCS... right to it in the first week!). The most impressive art program I've seen at middle-school and high school level. It's organized like a college art program with a diverse variety of mediums. Athletics appear competitive within their leagues. Leadership has an excellent vision for the future, building on a 55 year legacy of success. Now they are moving forward by adding "feeder" K - 5 schools, similar to an LMH model that has been very successful in Lancaster County. This should allow for continued growth and opportunity for all students, which is very exciting. http://www.harrisburgchristian.com/

I sent my son to Enloa KinderCare from June to the middle of August 2023. The caretakers and the…read moreenvironment were good. I am pleased with the development my 16 month old had during that period. But overall I had a bad experience due to last minute cancellations and a bad refund policy. I outline the details below. For context, I put my son in this daycare full-time, five days per week, and they charged me $400 weekly. I paid the $400 in advance for the following week each Saturday. Thus, I was paying $80 a day in advance. In my 2.5 months of using the daycare, there were four times we were asked to keep kids at home or the Daycare was closed. On two of these occasions, they sent the message out the night before. On the other two occasions, the message went out the same day. One of those times, my mother-in-law had already left to drop my son off. One of those times was from an outbreak of hand, foot, and mouth disease, which led them to cancel for two straight days leading into the weekend. This was a very contagious disease, so this is understandable. Though they didn't act fast enough to stop most of the kids from getting infected. Further, I was not given a full refund (details below) In the other three times it was because there were not enough staff. In two of these instances, we were asked to keep our kids at home in exchange for $50 credit. Note that $50 is less than the $80 I already paid. . So we were asked to keep our kid at home, for an amount less than what we had already paid to send them there. One of those three times was a last minute announcement that daycare was canceled because staff had all called off. This was the instance my MIL had already left to take him to daycare. For the three times they were short-staffed, I would remind the reader that while emergencies happen, lack of staff is a problem with their business operations. In that instance where they announced daycare was canceled after my MIL had already left with my son, I had to fight to get my $80 back. For reference, here was my exchange with the Kindercare location director. Director (July 31 Monday morning): If you are receiving this message. Your child's classroom will be closed July 31. We just had another call out. This effects xx, xx, xx, xx, and xx. I am truly sorry for this inconvenience. Me: May I have a refund for this cancellation? Director: Unfortunately the rate for 4 days is the same for 5 days. Me: It is my understanding that by paying weekly, I am paying for 5 days of care per week. Since Kindercare will only be providing 4 days of care this week due to your staffing shortage, I am respectfully requesting a refund for the cost of 1 day of care. Director: I can make the adjustment this time, but going forward, it will be the same price regardless of days attended. After the two day hand-foot-mouth disease cancellation, I also sought a refund. We had already paid our $400 in advance, and so I expected a $160 for the two canceled days. Instead, she gave us a $100 refund. After I asked why, she responded to me: Director: We charge weekly, not daily. It is $400 per week for 5 days and $300 per week for 3 days. I disagreed. In my view, their last minute cancellation of two days was not equivalent to me voluntarily switching to their 3-days-a-week plan. After some back-and-forth on the phone, she wouldn't budge on the refund. Anyway, dear reader, I hope this was helpful.
