We were asked to remove my son from the preschool after one month. My frustration with the school…read morelies with how the situation was handled, not the fact that he was asked to leave. If he was as violent as they say he was they were right to ask him to leave, but we have never seen this behavior anywhere else and were not allowed to observe him in the classroom so we do not know what was actually going on. We did not feel that we could trust the teachers or administration because of inconsistencies in their statements. Many of the teachers' complaints were typical preschool behaviors, especially for a child new to the Montessori setting. This made us question the validity of the more serious complaints. We were given two days notice that he needed to leave aftercare. Two weeks later we were given two days notice that he needed to leave the school. They said that they would release his records for his evaluation with Childfind but when I requested the records they stated that they would not provide them. Compass may be a great school for "typical" kids but it is not a supportive setting for children who have developmental delays or behavioral challenges.

Today, our daughter is in the summer camp program and our son will be starting in the kindergarten class soon. Needless to say we've had a long, wonderful, run. Many of the teachers have been there since we arrived. Our son loves walking through the school - all of the staff saying hello to him. They really feel like a part of the family. And shouldn't they - they've been helping to raise our children and prepare them for everything that comes next. The front office staff has always listened to any concerns we've had (our son has special learning needs) and we've been very grateful they've helped us work through a few things - making us feel like they're truly invested in his success and development. Always, but especially during COVID, they've gone to great lengths to clean and create a safe environment, where kids can still be kids, but parents can rest assured precautions are in place.

I know a great learning environment when I see one and this place is a gem! So happy we found it and that our little princess gets to experience this as her first 'school' experience. She will treasure her time at Happy Valley forever.

This school is horrible for any family that is untraditional or child may have behavior issues…read more The staff and owner are so unprofessional and disrespectful. The teachers have 80 children come in and out of their school on a weekly basis. I was asked to not speak during parent teacher conference bc there was not enough time to get thru everthing. The teachers have no real time to dedicate or give extra attention to children and families that need it. Don't send your child here just for the animals. They don't really get to interact that much with them....this preschool was a huge mistake.

The school has a big emphasis on Catholic education and incorporates Catechisis of the Good Shepard into their learning.

We watched his skills and language soar, and they did an excellent job introducing him to potty training. Ms. Kelly was always so welcoming in the morning, whether our son was happy to be there or not, and that made dropping off guilt free. She always has something ready for him to work on to make the transition smooth. Mr. Nick would continue to focus on our son and keep him playing and engaged even when he was the last one left in the classroom. Gary and the front office staff are highly communicable and we truly appreciated the steps they take to ensure the school was COVID and illness free. The school provides a variety of healthy snacks to the students and is absolutely clean and spotless at all times.

The cirriculum is a real pre-school/pre-k learning plan. You get detailed information every day about what your kiddo did so you can talk to them about it and continue the lessons. There is a gym, with a climbing wall and they do dance and yoga. Kids get plenty of time to play--inside and outside. Goddard uses an IPAD system to send daily reports and we get updates (photo and video) during the day, which is fun. They also autodebit monthly payments, which is a huge help for busy families like ours. The teachers are amazing...I never worry about my kids, I know they are loved and well cared for. The kids tend to stay so there isn't alot of turnover, which helps my girls who have been through a lot of transition. There has been a lot of teacher turnover in the year we have been there, which is typical in corporate daycare. The director and several of the teachers have been there over the time we have been there. Our girls turned 4 in May and are writing, know their alphabet, count to 100 and are starting to read. If there are issues the staff will work with you. Its expensive but worth every penny. Could not say enough good things about this place.
