We started my youngest here over a year ago. She struggled with staying still and mild impulse…read morecontrol. Everyone was so helpful with her, even when she had days she didn't want to be there. Whenever they notice a kid is struggling to be there, they give them lots of positive reinforcement. All the parents are wonderful and clap and cheer for all the kids to celebrate everyone's success. The kids are constantly encouraged to cheer each other on. A few months after my youngest started, I signed my older child up. She struggled with sticking up for herself and being too scared to use her voice. They've helped her find her voice and confidence. I loved what I saw in my kids so much, I joined the adult class myself! I've been going for coming up on a year and cannot say enough good things about what it's done for me. I did not start out in shape at all, I work a desk job. I feel better in all aspects of my life. It's more than just exercise. I love everyone who works here and my fellow students. If even the smallest part of you is interested for you or your child, I HIGHLY recommend it. They let you try classes to see if it's a good fit, but I promise you'll fall in love with it.

She received a free week of martial arts and fell head over heals So much so her best friend also joined and adores the experience. I really appreciate the focus on respect, the ability of the instructors to relate to the children as well as the physical strength the students are obtaining. I give my full stamp of approval as well as my appreciation to the staff for their dedication to the enrichment of today's youth. Sharyn Harmeyer

FWDC is truly offering something different to the community. Unlike the glitzy conformity of the…read morelocal commercial dance studios, and the high-minded technique of some of the nonprofit ballet schools, the Dance Collective has a focus on individual creative expression, dance as an art instead of a competitive commodity, and open inclusiveness. You can find things like taiko drumming, which is an amazing experience, Dances of Universal Peace, to bring your body in touch with your spiritual side, and any kind of modern you need. It never lost touch with its grassroots, and the organization is still run in a collective-style management, staying true to it's "collective" designation. Check it out if you want an open and affirming atmosphere, a friendly and familial staff, and beautiful, urban brick-walled studios.

Both kids felt at home there right away, and I found even as a beginning Pilates student I was able to really enjoy my class. Our kids have had two different instructors so far-- and we love them both. I think our children are more in tune with their bodies now and use movement as a form of self-expression. That's exactly what we want for them. We are blissed out at FWDC, have recommended it to others, and will continue to do so.

The staff not only have strict state guidelines to follow but they also love the kids as their own. There are opportunities for extracurriculars as well such as soccer shots that will come on site and librarians that will come and read to them. They have free open houses with fun activities for the kids as well. The kids learn so many social skills along with the essentials for starting school. I even had comments from my daughter's teacher when she started kindergarten that she was extremely prepared for kindergarten. Could not recommend Kiddie Academy more! Both the north and southwest sites are where you want to send your kids for daycare no question!

So me and my grandma get ready and we go down there. We get there in our bathing suits and the lady at the front desk lets us in and neglected to tell us that the pool is closed from 1 to 4. We walked all of the way down here to find out by someone that don't work there that the pool is closed. We wasted gas driving down there. They need to fix the pool for maintenance is what they said. Why couldn't they do that when the pool isn't open? Why didn't they tell us at front desk? This is at auburn ymca, if the pool isn't open and is closed down for a certain amount of time, when the pool is supposed to be open they need to fix their website. Also this has happened before to me and my grandma they seriously need to get their stuff straight.

I will provide a completely honest and unbiased review of the Goddard School located in Fort Wayne,…read moreIN. It is a small school that accepts students in kindergarten as well. This was the reason I chose this school over others in the area. No doubt, it's expensive, but the administration is phenomenal. They are hard-working and always willing to help both the parents and the kids. They communicate effectively and engage constantly with the parents. The owners are outstanding. They are approachable and fully involved in the administrative and managerial aspects of the school. Unfortunately, the kindergarten program at this school is well below expectations. This is due to the unprofessional attitude of the lead teacher. She lacks proper teaching skills, and her attitude towards the children is concerning. She shouts at the kids, and several parents are starting to realize that her actions are damaging and negatively affecting young minds. At times, her tone is threatening, and her behavior does not align with the vision of Goddard School. Simply put, the atmosphere in that class isn't safe for the children, and without delay, the administration must take appropriate corrective actions to stabilize the situation.I am also planning on contacting the Indiana ED to investigate this sensitive matter. For this reason, I am giving the school only 2 stars. I request that the administration proactively look into this situation and work to provide the kindergartners with a safe and secure environment in which they can thrive.

Due to jobs we have done A LOT of travel, and thus multiple states and multiple childcare facilities (4 not including Goddard). Ms. Anu and Ms. Seik in Monkey's are an amazing team their communication to each other and to our children is so respectful! You can tell they adore the children. Their communication with parents is so refreshing! Goddard is exceptional at pickup for communication, from the teachers to the administrators ( Jess and Jenna). And you can tell they are intentional and work on improving ( including administration)! As we moved up to the next age group, Ms.Quinn in Bears has a heart for children! She loves what she does and her room is calm and so respectful to each individual child. ( I've learned many a parenting tricks/ guidance from her) My FAVORITE part about Ms.Quinn is how observant she is, we receive positive notes about our child regularly. I feel like she sees our child's full and beautiful personality! Four year classroom - (Giraffe room)we had a rough start due to Goddard trying to find the right fit. Props to them, they identified the hurdles and actively worked on them and communicated those changes frequently, with successful outcomes. (Obviously I communicate, and that's a two way street) now we have aged up to Kangaroos with Ms. Chelsi/Ms. Michaela and they are PHENOMENAL! Amazing co- teaching! Again, OUTSTANDING COMMUNICATION, in addition to the constant feedback we get from their internal app! You can tell they care and pay attention to each of their students! Thank you for such a positive experience! I will say you will see subs occasionally, and that's just the nature of childcare, and we have seen less turnover here than previous centers!
