He started Reading Ranch, 2x a week, in the spring semester of Kindergarten and has continued year round; he's now in 2nd grade. When he started he was at the bottom of his class, and now he is among the top readers in his class. I attribute much of his success to tutoring, encouragement, and advocacy from Dr. Kim and the teachers at Reading Ranch. My son really enjoys time with everyone at Reading Ranch, and especially loves Ms. Debbi; she is his constant cheer leader! We have gone to both the Frisco and McKinney locations, and both are great!

The teachers and staff have been the absolute best, and I always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving my children in their care. My boys were enrolled in the Mandarin Immersion program, which I cannot praise enough. Beyond the wonderful education, this school gave us an incredible community of parents and friends that we will truly miss. Thank you for loving and supporting my boys over the years. We will always look back on our time here with so much appreciation and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy Montessori environment! :)

However, my husband and I's experience has deteriorated rapidly as we've been held to different standards than other parents (we bring our child to class with all appropriate diapers and wipes jackets for cold weather etc but other parents rely inappropriately on us prepared parents and don't bring their child prepared to school so they can "borrow" from us for months; NOT our guide's fault). Alana is our reason for our daughter thriving so well and our sole reason for keeping her in Guidepost. Aside from that, we are looking forward to withdrawing and will be heartbroken to leave Alana.

Our experience at The Goddard School was deeply unsettling and ended with the school's…read moredisenrollment of my child, who has special needs, effective immediately. Before enrolling my child for a 3-day program at Goddard, my spouse and I met with Jamie (the owner) and staff members, along with my child's ABA therapy team to discuss expectations. (We and our therapy team met with facility staff again prior to enrollment.) Initially Jamie assured us they could accommodate a child with special needs. However, that was not the case. Challenges soon surfaced. At a morning drop off, my child became upset I was leaving. Instead of the teacher redirecting her, the teacher told me my non-verbal child "didn't like it in here" and offered no assistance so I could leave the class. It was suggested instead that I could drop off my child at a later time (8:30am) so her homeroom teacher could take care of her, which conflicted with ADA guidelines. This issue continued and multiple times it was suggested to us that we drop off our child at 9am when a teacher would be available in my child's home classroom. When my wife told Jamie that a 9am drop off does not work for us, Jamie actually suggested my wife work with front office staff regarding scheduling. Then when I brought this issue to Jamie weeks later, Jamie said she didn't know staff had suggested we bring our child at a later time, yet she would not solve the issue. The initial care in my child's home class was great with 3 dedicated teachers. But after staffing changes, the quality noticeably declined. This was confirmed by our child's BCBA (part of my child's therapy team) who came to Goddard multiple times to observe/train staff at our request. When the BCBA brought this to the attention of office staff, Courtney told the BCBA there had been no decline in service but that a "wall" had been built between myself and the staff, which she claimed affected their ability to work with my child. Our BCBA expressed concern over the focus on parental issues rather than addressing my child's needs directly. Office staff member, Whitney, asked my wife about our child's sleep habits. According to the teacher, Whitney had a child in the class, was upset her child wasn't napping, and felt my child was the cause. The teacher told the Whitney our child does not nap, a topic that was discussed with staff prior to enrolling, but Whitney felt it necessary to ask my wife. I told Jamie and the other owner, Chevelle, this question wasn't appropriate for office staff to ask a parent as they are not in the classroom. They said they didn't know why she asked that and claimed that Whitney did not have a child in the class at that time. Inappropriate questions about my child's potential placement in a General Education were raised by my child's new teacher Victoria during one of the BCBA observation/training sessions for the Goddard staff. The BCBA clarified that such decisions would be based on evaluations by the public school system, not by the daycare or parents' desires. Despite these challenges, the BCBA committed to aiding the training of this teacher and ensuring expectations for my child within the school setting were clearly communicated. In my final interaction with Goddard, Jamie called me on a Tuesday night to say she was disenrolling my child, effective immediately--no discussion. She cited communication issues with the parents was the reason, however she also included a serious accusation that I "brushed" past front office worker Courtney, which I felt was implied as assaultive. This accusation, never previously mentioned, was raised right after the decision to disenroll my child, which I strongly contest as I do not recall making contact with anyone at the facility besides my child. Ultimately, without discussion, the enrollment was terminated immediately. The lack of care and effective communication, coupled with the abrupt dismissal of a child with special needs, leads me to strongly advise parents to consider other more professional, accommodating, and communicative childcare options.

My child enjoys going to school and has made connections with his teachers. The staff members take the time to get to know your child and his/her interests.

We love the second family that we have at The Goddard School!

Yes,…read moreit's expensive, but my 4 year old went from inconsistently identifying the numbers 0-9, and the letters of the alphabet, to being able to identify all the letters, their sounds, numbers up through 100, and now we're working on being able to write them legibly, and early reading concepts. The rapid results are impressive, and we'll continue going here because it's making a big difference. I definitely attribute a lot of it to the daily homework that they assign, so you have to do them with the kid, but it's their process of teaching / daily work that has brought her so far so fast.

**Long, But Honest Review**…read more Interviewing daycares is one of the most overwhelming processes, regardless of your child's age. Lovedale Montessori Academy will quickly check off all the boxes for your needs/qualifications when searching for the right childcare for your son/daughter. When our son was just 2 months old, and having spent one month in the NICU, the thought of leaving him with strangers was defeating. A friend recommended Lovedale Montessori, so we scheduled a meeting with the Director, Mrs. Heena. Upon entering the building, the layers of security - multiple doors, fingerprint access, locks, cameras - were immediately reassuring. The facility looked modern and impeccably clean. Mrs. Heena, with a huge smile, addressed all our concerns during our 2-hour conversation, providing ample proof as we toured the classes. Lovedale uses an app for parent communication, offering updates on diaper changes, meals, naps, and my favorite - photos! What I can't stress enough is the genuine love the teachers have for the children. Our sons teachers have become an extension of our family. This love extends to every staff member, who knows each child by name and takes the time to show care. Lovedale is more than a Montessori Academy; it's a safe haven for our children. Parents can rest assured that their child is cared for according to their own standards. Daily scheduled activities are outlined in a detailed monthly calendar, providing peace of mind for parents of children of all ages.
