Plus: Female owner is great at working with parents. My child did not get sick very often. Negative: Seals class teachers should not be taking care of young children. Injuries and tales of being terrorized into compliance, no help being fed, and lack of respecting physical boundaries make it a big “NO Way” for the 24m -30m age group. The other classes older and younger seem happier, and I have never seen any teachers mistreat kids in those classes. RESPONSE: Unless you are 110% confident about those women, you shouldn’t defend them publicly. I gave them 6 months and tried to trust the process in spite of physical evidence supporting what my child was saying to me. But that’s on me, I failed her. I should have pulled her from the first “why they drag me, Mama?” 8 MONTH OUT UPDATE: Little one wants NOTHING to do with daycare and tells other children “it’s scary” she still talks of the day the teacher “snatched” her security item away and gave it to another child. I could get into why my kid thought I was “Putting her on TikTok” when I pulled out my phone (we don’t use that app) or why she suddenly thought dancing was putting her legs up on furniture with her hands on the floor and wiggling her behind and repeating “you’ve got some moves, babyname!”, What I will say is that after her experience, my friendly, outgoing child withdrew into herself and has only recovered 95%. @ 3yo She will still occasionally get this far off look and without prompting retell a story of what happened to her at Goddard with CONSISTENT and greater detail than she could @2 yo and I am more than disgusted and angry.

My two daughters were going to Goddard and we loved it. The teachers were great with them and they loved going to school! The administration is also amazing and really strive to work with you. They understand that everyone has different situations and necessities. My oldest got extremely sick last year and had to be hospitalized for almost a week. She wasn’t able to go back to school for a month. They allowed us to put the payment on hold and to also hold her spot until she got well. I had already payed some days that she wasn’t able use and they allowed us to make that up at a different time (she was going 3 days a week.) That was all extremely helpful during such a stressful time. I am also a nurse and I did not always have the same work schedule every week and they would allow me to switch the days they would go to school to whatever I needed or I could make up days the following week if they were sick and had to miss the week before. They are very flexible which is not something you can find just anywhere if that’s what you need. All in all we were very happy with the school and sad we had to leave. We moved to a different state, but if that wasn’t the case we would have stayed with them.

My family and I were very happy with our experience at Goddard. My son (3 yrs old) adjusted so well to Ms. Sonia’s and Ms. Joanne’s classroom. He always talked about how much he loved his teachers and he never came home upset.
Goddard worked well with our schedule and our budget and were so accommodating. Anita seems to know all the families and that makes for a more welcoming experience.
We received a daily report which often included a picture of our son doing an activity. Classroom sizes are large and offer a lot of exploration for the kids.
Thank you!
