I really like the experience so far. They have a free weight gym and another gym containing some…read moregreat equipment. There are changes, I'd recommend but it's pretty good. It hasn't been too crowded, thankfully. They over organize the swimming, as I have one son that likes to swim by himself and it's over kill scheduling him 1 hour at a time. I'm just thankful he can go there. My one concern is if you work in the city and don't get home until 6 pm....swimming options are limited and if that's your thing, evaluate carefully. They have many other things going on there, but we are still scratching the surface. Benefits outweigh the costs!

Worst gym I've ever been to…read more This was the case before the 2025 renovations. It's worsened since then. They've got 40 treadmills, of which only ten are ever occupied. They have a lot of often unoccupied weight machines as well. These two assets are positioned on the inside of a running track, while the room with some other machines and all of the free weights is separate. In the weight room, they removed nearly all the good weight benches and replaced them with a bizarre variety which are too high for most men and have unstable pads (imagine benching without digging your feet in while the pad under you wobbles. They're dangerous). They removed several of the most popular machine extensions for seemingly no reason, including a long rope handle that was nearly always in use. They do not have a proper squat setup (with a padded floor) anywhere. They have a few extra djanky setups, like a rowing handle connector which is in fact just a carabiner which is forced into an angle by the machine connector and does not allow an attached handle to be held naturally. Shortly after the terrible renovations and gear shift which significantly degraded the quality of the gym, they put some big old ads up on 65. I guess it's supposed to be an improvement. I'm still in awe at how they made it worse. I don't know who's making the decisions but they seem to be somehow unaware of how their customers use their weight and cardio equipment. Demand and supply are whack (popular equipment is swamped and a lot of equipment is almost never used) and also the choice of equipment is sus - not a lot of people who resistance train even at an amateur level would've picked those benches.

We transferred our son from the KinderCare across the street to Goddard because we weren't thrilled…read moreabout the 1 year old room at KinderCare (our infant room experience at Kindercare was very positive). Although nervous about the transition of our then 1 year old son to a new daycare, I couldn't be more happy and satisfied with our experience at Goddard. The staff is friendly, caring and professional. The owner is very helpful and takes the time to get to know the kids. We noticed a few weeks in that are son was doing much better here then at the previous daycare. The owner and staff seems to genuinely care and be concerned about the well-being of the kids. Only after placing him at Goddard did I realize they have an educational criteria which is a bonus in my opinion. My only "warning" is that they have more days that they are closed then KinderCare. They are closed for a week during Christmas and have few other days that are closed which aren't always days off at most companies. It's run more like a school. Luckily my husband has flexibility with his schedule so we manage. But the quality of care and facilities is worth this occasional inconvenience. Also you have to pack/provide lunch for your child where as at KinderCare they provided the meals. Goddard provides the am and pm snack. Now that I'm used to packing our son's lunch this difference is a non-issue.

From the owner: At The Goddard School located in Moon Township, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School…read moreis a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.

I highly advise not hiring elite nannies for your childcare needs. They have a cute website (…read morehttp://www.elite-nannies.com/index.html) and seem to be a legitimate business but my experience has been that Elite Nannies is nothing else than a one woman show (Cheryl). That's not however the major problem with elite nannies. The reason I'm writing this review is because Cheryl after watching over my daughter for 2 days while I had an important business engagement in the Pittsburgh area, scared the s...t out of me when she mentioned "jokingly" that she "could have kidnapped her" that is my daughter. She also mentioned that she could have taken my daughter to "her house to see her son"...God forbid what she means by that. Why you ask would she state something so stupid and evil? She was trying to strong arm me into paying her a large tip after she inflated the cost for her service ($ 17 an hour, plus a $ 78 company fee and since she is the business then it's her money, plus valet parking fee at my hotel)...She also ordered herself dinner from my hotel room...Just for the record, I paid all of the above, but she managed to inflate the total cost by $50 dollars and that's when I got my calculator and set it straight... She also strikes me as a compulsive liar who suffers from delusion of grandeur. No mother should have to go through the anxiety and horror of hearing a "nanny" state that they could have kidnapped your kid...If you are like me, your child is your most precious possession in this world and the basic requirement of nannies is to be gentle and trustworthy. p.s. I will add that she did take my daughter around town to the museum and gave her a good time. But my last exchange with her negates all of that: those were words that should never have come out of her mouth or anyone's mouth.

This review is not about the experience my child has at the school but rather the experience trying…read moreto get information to see if I would like to enroll my child. I called the school to get information about enrollment, etc. The lady who I spoke to provided details on enrollment and explained how the school works, what's offered, etc. She said she would e-mail me more information, which she did. We tried to coordinate a tour and, with a few back and forth e-mails regarding availability, it became radio silence. I followed up a couple of times and heard nothing so I let it be since my child was not yet of the age for Montessori. Fast forward many months later when I called again to try and obtain the same. The same lady said she will e-mail the details. I received NO e-mail. I didn't bother following up given my initial contact with the school and having been dismissed and now the second contact and being dismissed...again. At this point I wondered if there was a very specific reason for my being dismissed. We'll leave it at that. Based on my experience in trying to just get enrollment information and how the admin functions, I wouldn't, and did not, send my child.

My oldest has been in the school since she was 5, my youngest since she was 3. They are now 12 and…read more8. I feel that my children are getting a wonderful education - not just in academics, but also in conflict resolution and other life skills. They work at their own pace, which is great when they are excelling in one area, but struggling in another. They never feel left behind. Most importantly, when there are issues, I feel like the teachers work with the parents to figure out a resolution. I've never sat in a meeting and someone ask me how I was going to fix my child's behaviors. It truly is a community of students, faculty, and parents working together. We love it!
