I had checked out other Montessori schools in the area and I knew in my heart when I saw Datzyk that it was the right choice for us. Linda, the owner, is a gem of a person. I still miss her in our lives to this day. She exposed my child to the French language and put her heart and soul into the children. I don't understand the one negative review. I never experienced anything like that at all at the school. If my child were doing something wrong, I would actually *want* the school to scold and correct the behavior as this is what I would also do at home as I would hope/like other parents to do. Unfortunately, there were some privileged kids here who repeatedly caused trouble so I'm glad if the school tried to take a role in shaping a child's role in knowing they are not always the center of the universe and that life has rules. I found this school to be the perfect launch pad for my child to start at public school. My child was/is way ahead in public school. Did I always think the teachers were perfect? No. Did I always agree with how they handled things? No. But I liked the fact that they did not allow indulged, non disciplined kids to just get away with anything. I respected the rules and goals they had overall. I also got positive feedback about my child so I don't understand the reviewer who said they only tell you negatives. I felt they had my child's best interests at heart. I would definitely recommend the school. My child thrived and was very happy there. And, by the way, it is *good* for children to get outside as much as possible. The Waldorf school has kids outside every single day. I can't imagine complaining about my child being allowed to go outside even if the weather was not my idea of perfect. I don't get the comment about kids' religion and food. There are many cultures and ethnicities and backgrounds at this particular school. Many of the kids come from a particular background. If anything, my child, being in the minority, experienced kids (not teachers) making fun of our Americanized food. The school never discriminated against any ethnic group and many times I heard them express appreciation for the multicultural nature of their school. And, if you don't like the fees of a school, don't enroll your child there. No one is forcing you.

Instead of being helpful they have been greeting our family for 3 years in a row with rude comments and tones. They clearly don't like homeschooling parents and I'm pretty sure they filed our first year paperwork in the trash because they had NO records of them the following year!! As homeschooling parents we can be audited for that!! When we ask them to make us a copy of their signature because of their prior negligence, they said oh if we did it for you, we'd have to do it for everyone.. oh everyone that pays thousands in tax dollars to your district and our kids never see money from that?? You can't spare a .10 cent copy? Is the district really that hard up or are they that discriminating towards homeschooling families?? You only confirmed our choice in schools since them being the face of the school is piss poor and incredibly concerning. I believe this is Colebrookdale Elm, near the giant in Gilbertsville specifically. We don't attend there I just know it's where we have to turn in the paperwork, unfortunately for us.

There are a bunch of classes listed on their website. I have not signed my son up for a class, but we have been enjoying open tumble for 1-5 year olds. They offer open tumble a few times a month. It is an hour long and it is $6. There are trampolines, ball pit, matts, parachutes, tunnels, and other fun things for your kids to climb and jump and run all over. I love going here, it wears my son out!!!! And he takes an amazing nap in the afternoon!!! The first few open tumbles i went to were fairly empty, but today there was a nice group of people. I have a feeling as it gets colder, it will get more crowded.

These kids were playing rough and running over the younger kids. This was ridiculous. Of course the parents of these older, out of control, kids did not even care. They were socializing and did not want to be bothered with keeping their kids away from the younger ones. Apparently the people who work at East Penn do not care what age group these kids are as long as they collect the $7.00 for these kids to play. I will not subject my kids to this anymore. They have lost my business.

I don't know what we would have done without this wonderful day care. We were new to this country and needed someone to take care of Kyra like home. Like every mother I am very careful when it comes to my daughter but along with that I am a cleanliness freak :). In the first 5 minutes of the tour in Goddard I knew this is where I could leave my daughter and be at work without being worried about her. Every person I have talked to in Goddard has left a smile on my face. With each day spent with you all, it has increased her confidence and made her independent. I cannot forget the small small things like in those first few days when I visited in lunch time to check on Kyra, I saw Maura (the owner) checking on Kyra and noticing how she is getting better with each day. Now the only problem is that you guys have set the benchmark so high that now I expect other day cares to be as sparkling clean as Goddard and it's a tough one. You guys are super AWESOME!!!!

His dorm is lovely (much nicer than my other son's dorm was at another school), his friends are fantastic, and he is thrilled to participate in activities. The campus has a genuine community feel. Academically, the professors care about students and make connections with them. The small class sizes and accessible faculty have meant that he has been offered opportunities that would not have been available to him at a larger schools. We feel confident that he is developing strong critical thinking, research, and communication skills that will prepare him for graduate school, which is his current trajectory. We are thrilled with the choir program (if your kid sings, join their choir!), which has been both enriching for him. We are also excited about the study abroad program he has applied to, as it reflects the school's commitment to global learning and academic exploration. If there is one area for continued growth, it would be investing in additional faculty and modest campus expansion, as the school's strong programs and close-knit environment would benefit from slightly increased capacity. Overall, this has been an excellent choice!
