Starting a family and having young children is difficult and should be one of the most exciting things you do in life; daycare should NOT add to the challenges and bring down that excitement.Anyone considering this Goddard as your childcare provider should strongly consider virtually any other facility not owned or managed by ‘Sloan’. Make the drive; your kids (and you) will be much happier. The owner is clueless to the happenings at the school and the director is in over her head.Like good parents, we converse with our children AND their teachers to ensure we’re involved in knowing what’s happening in their very important, young lives. The director is upset if you discuss or interact with the teachers directly and retaliates against your children when and if you question or escalate any issue to her or the owner.The school does NOT advance children based on developmental needs; the director stated on a call that she "does NOT have time to listen to every teacher about every student about every advancement or placement." Isn't that the director's job? She’ll fill rooms to fill them regardless of age, development, etc. Your children deserve better than this (especially for the price!)Other items to note:Revolving door of faculty and staff – most are unhappy with the director; very few have ever met the owner (careful talking to the teachers though, you’ll be punished!)SCAM ALERT: ‘catered lunch’ – it is Cosco (at-best) pre-packaged, frozen food, canned vegetables all heated in a ‘food WARMER’ in the laundry room – yikes.They will NOT feed your infant/toddler alternative food if what is ‘catered’ or what you pack your child is not to their liking – I guess letting an infant go hungry is an option…you will get a panicked call though as if the daycare provider does not know what to do!We gave 9 days notice, and pulled our children. We found a much better fit – a facility that cares for children and families while truly feeding them healthy, real food as part of the overall cost of tuition.DO NOT BE FOOLED – ‘on-site owner’ is a loose term; at almost three years of enrollment, my wife and I have never seen her while many of her staff have seldomly, if ever, seen or met her.You and your children deserve a much better experience than this in some of the most exciting times of your life!

Our daughter has thrived at Goddard. She often comes home displaying a variety of social and developmentally appropriate skills that she learned while there, and seems to thoroughly enjoy being there! Goddard offers lots of fun activities for the kids including various Spanish and Mandarin lessons, drum lessons, yoga, and fun guest visits from folks like Ms Elsa and The Mad Scientist! We also know that she is safe when she is there, and that when/if an illness outbreak happens, we are appropriately notified. Highly recommend!

I honestly can not say enough wonderful things about The Goddard School. From day one, our 2 year old daughter has been thrilled to go to school. She gets bummed on the weekends when she doesn't get to go to school! I am amazed by how much she has learned in 2 short months. She knows more than alot of 4 year olds I know! The teachers are so kind and patient, and have endless fun and educational projects for the kids. I love the progress reports we receive daily, along with multiple pictures of our child everyday! I could not be happier with our experience at Goddard and would highly recommend!

This is an amazing pre-school / daycare! We have two children enrolled. Our son has been attending since he was 2 and is getting ready to go to kindergarten this fall. Our daughter (now 2) has been here since she was 6 months old. Through Covid the school stayed open everyday and kept our children safe!! They are extremely reliable. They have kept most of their teachers and staff through everything the past few years. This speaks volumes. My daughter has the same teachers my son started out with three years ago. My children are happy and safe. I feel like they are having fun and getting an education. We highly recommend this school. You get your money's worth!!

We loved our experience there so much, that this was a consideration of whether we should move to a different state. We did end up moving, but are very grateful for the incredible learning and fun our son enjoyed during his time there.He loved Ms Maria, Ms Jordan and Ms Jade and came home excited to tell us about his day. In addition to class learning, they also accommodated our questions/requests. The entire staff is kind, friendly and goes out of their way to help (like Anastasia talking to him in Russian to help him with initial separation anxiety).Highly recommend!

Our son had a wonderful experience at Goddard! He was in two different classrooms (moved up because he got older) and the teachers he had were patient and caring. The best review I can write is that my son adored both the staff and teachers and looked forward to going to school, especially for Splish Splash Fridays. As a parent, that’s the best you can ask for. They do arts and crafts, have a garden, and have a great play area for the different aged kids. The school communicates well with parents, both by email and via the Tadpoles app. My husband and I love seeing the pictures throughout the day and getting a report on how our little guy did that day (did he eat well? Nap well? It’s all there). We trust Goddard and highly recommend them!

We have been going to Goddard for almost 2 years, and we couldn't be happier. They over-communicate, I love the teachers, and they truly make you feel like you're the only family in the school. They are attentive with our child and I love how descriptive the lecture notes are. It's helpful for me, at home, to be able to know what our son is working on. This will be our last year at Goddard, as our son will move on to Kindergarten, but overall, they have been a joy and we will miss them!

Since starting at Goddard, my son has grown tremendously, not only regarding his education but socially and emotionally as well. He loves going to school every single day and can’t stop talking about it on the way home. The entire staff is welcoming, friendly and helpful. He, and we as parents, feel that he is eager and prepared to start Kindergarten thanks to his time spent at Goddard.Services: Meal preparation

I have nothing but good things to say about the Goddard school and how dedicated the directors and staff are in making sure the children receive the very attention, care, and education. I happen to be close to several of the directors (Melissa and Erin, in particular) and I know how much time they put in to creating a structured learning environment that focuses on educating children in a happy and safe atmosphere. Often times, it is a tireless and thankless job where the efforts and dedication of the staff can easily go unnoticed. The staff at Goddard truly cares for the children and endlessly work to make it the very best school for each and every child they have the responsibility of caring for on a daily basis. When it comes to your children, you are always hopeful you are making the right decisions for them and I can say without hesitation that you cannot go wrong with Goddard. I see the commitment that is given to this school every single day!

These people are very professional and take good care of my 4 year old daughter. I have had bad experiences with day care in the past but thesepeople take amazing care of my daughter. I recommend that if your picky like me and my wife, this is definitely the place to go.

Both of our daughters have been at Goddard since they were 1 year olds. We've been extremely happy with the interdisciplinary nature of the activities - spanning from Mandarin, to art, to music, to outdoor playtime, etc. The quality of education is top tier - this became evident as our oldest entered elementary school and was ahead of the curve. The teachers, staff, and owners are all wonderful.
