I would not recommend this facility for child care…read more The majority of the staff don't seem to enjoy children --there is no sense that the teachers actually enjoy children. We found the staff to be rather rigid in their teaching & discipline styles. They don't seem to be able to adapt to a specific child's needs. They are frequently understaffed. Always sending out messages to get parents to "volunteer" to skip school/pick up the kids after they've been dropped off. They offer you "credit" if you do this, but the "credit" is significantly less than their daily rate...so essentially you are paying them so you can watch your own kid?!? And if they don't get enough volunteer pick ups, they'll just close classrooms, meaning you can't come to school/you have to pick up your kid after drop off AND you don't get any compensation at all--you are paying them full price so that you can watch your own child. Heaven help you if your kiddo ends up in a class with one of the director's / teacher's kids. They let those kids run wild and pretty much run the classroom. The directors clearly favor a couple staff members over others. That whole situation is super awkward to be peripherally involved in and observe. It reminds me of mean girls in high school...so awkward and not something to appreciate having to see when I'm paying this much for allegedly professional care givers. The cost of enrollment is astonishingly high, even compared to other facilities. They don't do anything there to justify a higher price point--they don't have better staffing ratios, don't offer more activities or provide better food. On top of that, you are expected to help cater a seemingly endless number of meals for teacher appreciation. The formal "teacher appreciation week" consisted of several breakfasts and lunches and the food requests were bizarrely specific. There are several more times throughout the year that you are expected to help cater meals for staff. Overall, I felt that this facility treats the kids as economic units. Their priority is making money, that's it. The facility is clean. Sometimes they have good teachers, but usually the good ones leave within ~12 mos, likely due to the toxic environment. I have heard from others that the care is better for the babies (like up to 18 mos or so). I don't have experience with that at Goddard.

I really have nothing bad to say about this school at all. Loved all the teachers. Highly organized…read moreand efficient. Feels safe for my child. He just graduated and I feel so grateful that we found this school for my son. Miss Katie and Lisa in the "Wise Owls" or 4-5 year old class have been there for as long as my son went there. So at least 3 years. When you see a daycare with high employee retention, they are doing something right. It's a play based school and that was a great fit for my little boy. Highly recommend.

There is lots to choose from with all sort of different color so let your imagination wonder! We fun. We took my niece here for her bday. Good amount of tables, and they have a back room for parties too. Prices are decent for small to large crafts, and they have examples of it all. Examples are mugs / dishes, gnomes, animal dishes, all different animals, jewelry boxes, and so on. After you are finished, you turn in your project and that is where they put it in their fancy machine - takes about a week and comes out so different but super pretty! Very fun.

My girlfriend and I had a great time (I painted the fox). I'd recommend choosing a medium-sized piece to paint because they're reasonably priced and you won't get bored like you might with a huge pot or an overly complicated design.

We have had our child in three Anthony Newman sports camps. In general, the camps are good…read moreexperiences - they start and end on time and there is a good focus on the kids having fun throughout the day. We did have an issue with the amount of screen time given to kids during breaks or lunch. Each day they watched a movie during lunch (which takes a good chunk of time away from playing/learning). The movies contained content that was not age appropriate for all the ages in the camp. We would learn about the movie after the fact, thus not giving parents a chance to assess content appropriateness for their children, nor creating an option should we not want our child to watch a film. Many kids also would bring iPads and other toys would huddle around them before/after camp/during breaks that seemed to distract from the sport. Note that in past years we would see more sport activities for kids who were waiting before/after camp. Hope this information can help others who are evaluating summer or in school year options for their kids.
