My ten year old daughter just finished her first day at the UES location and she had a blast! She…read moreespecially loved the freedom she had to choose her own activities. "It was so cool that when I finished lunch I could go do whatever I wanted, I didn't have to follow a group like in other camps." Her favorites were the giant slip and slide, the film studio, and the game show at the end of the day. She also liked how she could always go get a snack from the counselor in the cafe whenever she was hungry. "There was fruit and goldfish and homemade yogurt things. It was great!" The setup of this camp allows children to really take ownership of their day, from what they choose to play, to when they eat a snack, to who they spend their time with. It is a very unique idea for a NYC camp, and it was the perfect place for my daughter. She can't wait to go back!

I don't know about the other locations, but I think the person who runs this location (Mike) really goes above & beyond! My daughter loves all the activities and the counselors are all great. I've spoken to a bunch and they all seem to be college seniors or work in education (not the teenagers that some other camps seem to have). We didn't know what to expect since I couldn't find any reviews and didn't know too many people who went last year, but this has truly exceeded all of our expectations!

Unsafe Staffing Ratios and Lack of Supervision: I had to pull my son out of this camp today…read moreimmediately after drop-off due to severe safety and staffing violations. I witnessed entirely unacceptable counselor-to-camper ratios that violate NY State regulations. There was only one teacher upstairs with over 15 children, and another trying to navigate a elevator alone with over 8 children. Furthermore, children are permitted to enter at 9:00 AM, but counselors reportedly do not arrive until 9:30 AM, creating a dangerous 30-minute supervision gap. To make matters worse, the director was completely absent from the site. This level of negligence is unsafe. I have pulled my child from the program and am filing a formal report with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Parents beware

This program is being held inside a busy Northeastern University (formerly Mountmary College) building. My 5 year old son reported to me today that he went to the restroom and was walked in on while taking a bowel movement by an "old man." He related that the man saw him and then just went away. I asked where his teacher was and he told me it occurred during lunch and that he was not accompanied or monitored. This is very troubling. Adding to this, my other son came home with a swollen ear twice its normal size and we were not at all notified about this! And these are just two of my most alarming concerns about this place. I have now pulled my kids out from this week's camp and filed a formal complaint. Warning to other parents to please take heed!

Our family has had a…read morewonderful experience with the school, and our children have thrived both academically and socially. The Goddard School has a great curriculum that is both challenging and fun. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about early education, and they are always working to find new and innovative ways to engage the students. The Goddard School also has a wonderful social environment. The children are encouraged to be friendly and helpful to one another, and they learn how to resolve conflicts in a healthy way. This is such an important skill, and the Goddard School does an excellent job of teaching it. Overall, we have been extremely happy with The Goddard School in New York. Our children have learned a lot and have had a lot of fun too. We would highly recommend it to any family looking for a great preschool experience.

When she was in her infant room, Ms. Christine was kind and patient. She engaged her both emotionally and physically. Im sure that my daughter reached all her milestones early because her teachers worked so hard with her.

I feel so safe and comfortable knowing that these 2 women are taking care of my daughter. In addition to all the love and care she get, I am so beyond impressed with the menu my daughter I served everyday. She eats such a diverse menu of foods that I couldn't possible recreate in my house!

The facility had several soccer turf fields, gymnastics area, and couple of basketball courts. The lobby area had a ton of awards, medals and trophies that all the teams won. There were multiple vending machines as well. There were several party rooms at the back side. The rest rooms were kids friendly, as they had mini sinks at lower height for smaller kids. There were multiple staff members assigned to conduct the party. First they took the kids to basket ball courts where they did some relay running, played dodgeball and then did rope tug wars. They took the kids to fountains for water break few times. After the activities, the kids went back to party room where they were served pizzas, fruits, cheese platter, juice and sodas. The pizzas were decent. Finally they orchestrated the birthday song, assisted with cake cutting ceremony and handed slices of cakes to everyone. Overall the service from them was nice.

Their early drop-off and aftercare are what first grabbed my attention. The price is also fair. I am grateful that the center opened for the summer (COVID-19 times). Coach Tracey took the time to assure me that they were doing the very best to maintain a safe environment. The team is always available, and they are incredibly flexible. They are also very good at keeping the parents in the loop - many texts, emails at the end of each camp session, weekly Zoom meetings, and calls when necessary. If this location were closer to my home, I would not hesitate to enroll my son in 2021.

I became curious because I've been thinking about preschool options for my daughter, so I decided to stop and observe for a few minutes. I parked the stroller and sat on a bench some distance behind the group. The children were about to play together, and I simply wanted my daughter--who is almost 11 months old--to watch other little kids having fun. I thought it would be a lovely experience for her. Unfortunately, it didn't feel welcoming. The teachers seemed very young, and I sensed from their expressions and body language that they wanted us to leave. Trusting my instincts, I quietly left. As we walked away, my daughter kept looking back. She didn't understand what had happened. The experience made me a little sad. I was once a teacher myself, and I always believed that kindness, patience, and making people feel welcome are just as important as teaching lessons. Children learn not only from what we say, but from how we treat others. I hope every place for young children is filled with warmth, inclusion, and compassion. A school should be a place where the next generation learns to embrace others--not to make them feel excluded. Every child deserves to grow up in an environment where they feel surrounded by kindness, love, and a sense of belonging.

These programs have truly been an excellent opportunity for my daughter to pursue her dream and passion for theater in an environment of other like-minded kids and instructors. And the programs and productions that get put together, choreographed, and performed are just truly amazing. It's been tough to see local community theater productions after watching what Camp Broadway is able to arrange in much shorter periods of time. I like the ensemble nature of the performances as well. The kids are able to learn and perform on equal footing without imbalances in stage time or stress over roles and stage time. And as I mentioned above, it's amazing what these kids are able to do. We're big fans of Camp Broadway - highly recommend if your kids are interested in theater.
