“I’m not sure my words alone will help you understand how truly amazing Mrs. Kay is. But, one example would be on this one particular day, not long after my grandson started daycare, I go to pickup him up and he wasn’t ready to go. As we were leaving he said to me “I wanna go to Mrs. Kay house”. I thought it was funny and it made me a little confused at first but then my heart was filled with so much joy knowing he is having a good time while he is away from us, so much he wanted to stay with his teacher.Additionally, I’m absolutely impress with her professionalism and the way she is with the children. She does a fantastic job as my grandson has learned a lot and the independence that she is training is outstanding. She has some real good patience. The children love her and our family does too.”

“My daughter loves going to VPK here!! She loves her teachers so much! I’m glad I made the choice to enroll her here. She will miss her teachers dearly when the year is over.”

“This has been by far one of the best learning facilities I’ve seen. For me I think that comes from the staff they have and the way the genuinely care for the children. My son has grown up with so many of the teachers here that they feel like family. Anybody with small child know that some days drop offs don’t go as planned. So teachers like Ms. Lisa who are there in the morning encourage him to feel comfortable coming into the classroom. She’s very nurturing and greets him just like family would and before long he’s laughing and enjoying himself and has long forgot about me having to leave. During the day he’s spending time with his fav teachers Ms. Marq’ala and Ms. Isayna. (I know there are more that he loves) but he tells me these are his favorites ? and he has learned so much from them and is always excited to show me what he’s learned. From manners to his numbers and alphabet, to writing his name and drawing; his growth is amazing I couldn’t be more pleased. And I don’t think I could make it without the help of Ms. Casha I swear she always has my back and keeps me on my toes. I’m a busy mom and I forget a lot but when it comes to TLE events, announcements and updates. She goes above and beyond to help us parents stay connected. I swear I love this Center and the staff. I cannot say enough good things about them.. ❤️”

“My son looks forward to going to school everyday, and that speaks volumes. Plus, he's constantly learning things every week. I'm often surprised at the new knowledge he gains so often. It's a whole thrive.”

“Great daycare with the VPK Program. Our daughter joined this school when she was 3 , she learned and improved so much, Thanks to all the teachers especially Ms. Shaniqua, she is a gem, and I will miss her. Thi school really care, they always willing to work with you. They do have a great team there.”

“I am very grateful to have my daughter at Goddard. Firstly, Mr. Shekar the owner is extremely caring about his school and the experience of the children as well as the parents. He always addresses my concerns with understanding and attentively with quick solutions. The teachers have been phenomenal. I have had her there for about a year and a half, she has rotated across 3 classroom levels so far and has had several teachers. The ones that stood out to me the most were Ms.Kim from the crocs class (who is very organized and structured) , Ms.Reagan from baboons (very helpful and communicative), Ms.Dawn from Cheetahs (one of my favorites as she has shown true care for my daughter, her learning, her comfort in the classroom socially, her energy and interaction with the children is amazing you can tell how much they love her and vice versa - I think my daughter has learned the most under her and Ms.Noah’s class, and they have both helped a lot to make sure she’s on track with her potty routine. Ms.Noah is really great as well, they both communicate with me constantly and this is so helpful for me to know what’s going on with my daughter.), Ms.Cici is always so kind and loving towards my daughter as well. Ms.Natalie and Ms.Amari I believe are assistant teachers - they are also so sweet and helpful. The curriculum is amazing. Not only do I notice my daughter learning new things on a daily basis, but she also never wants to leave school!!! And she gets excited when I tell her we’re going to school today. I’m sure this will change when she’s a teenager lol, but it gives me a peace of mind knowing she is so happy here. I have no complaints - the front desk admin was a bit uptight for a while, but they have definitely improved their interactions after listening to our feedback! Which we appreciate. They also do lots of fun celebrations and extracurricular things for the kids to learn and have fun. One thing I would recommend is an option to provide school lunch for the kids. We had this in her previous daycare, and it takes a lot of the stress off the parents. I would pay for it of course. All in all, love this place and I’m looking to put my soon to come baby here as well.”

“The entire staff is wonderful! They keep great communication throughout the day. When I walk in to pick up my son, anyone at the front desk can tell me how my child’s day went. Ms. Yolanda is amazing! She is very caring, reassuring, and she knows the happenings of the center. And to see the teachers love and take care of my baby in my absence warms my heart! I know when I drop off my son each day he is well taken care of and in good hands!”

“My son has been attending to his daycare for the past 5 months, I would say this place has been a blessing to our family. I can see the difference from his previous daycare. Here they are caring, loving, compassionate and communicative. They keep children engaged with activities. My son is very happy and has been learning a lot of things. The director is always available at front desk. Place is clean too. Truly a blessing to know my son is in good hands while I am at work. He loves his teachers, he hugs them every morning . Thank you teachers Maria, Damaris and Lousmar.”

“This has been the best experience I’ve had with daycare. I love the approach to learning and letting the kids play and explore without micro managing their imaginations. I love that they have cameras and I can check on my child at any time. The staff is very welcoming and kind. All of m concerns which were very little like making special accommodations for my child while adjusting to a new daycare we addressed immediately and met with professionalism and compassion. It feels like a second family. I’m thankful for a place that I can depend on and know that my child is safe and really enjoying herself. My child is thriving socially and learning new things every week which is what I wanted. I’m really happy and excited about all the new programs and the new playground. Thanks to the staff and teachers for all of your care and efforts.”
