    My son went here for a little over two years. If my wife did not have to relocate because of a new…read morejob opportunity, we most likely would have kept him at this location until he was ready to begin kindergarten. The owner, Ms. Cindy, is very kind and reasonable. In addition, she is very knowledgeable in regards to early childhood education and has years of experience in the field. When he began attending this school, he was in the young toddlers classroom, before moving to older toddlers and then Get Set, which prepares three year olds for preschool. His most recent teacher, Ms. Kim, is a gem. She's been at the school for over 10 years and it is very apparent that she loves what she does. She's not one of those teachers who views it as a job to collect a paycheck. She obviously has a passion for working with toddlers, which is what you want when you're sending your toddler to a facility and you're relying on others to attend to them for 6-8 hours a day. When we were having issues with potty training, she gave us valuable tips that we practice successfully to this day. She also taught my son Spanish, among many other valuable things. If we could take her with us, we would. She is the epitome of what you want in a teacher at an early childhood learning center. While enrolled at the school, my son had an accident in which he broke his foot. I was irate as none of the teachers were able to explain how it happened. Ms. Cindy worked with us and we did not have to pay a dime for the medical expenses. There were a few other little mishaps that can be experienced at any childcare center. For example, we would send him with breakfast in bowls labeled with his name and during one week, not one bowl came home. This was frustrating because parents are required to label their child's belongings and you expect said belongings to be returned. The tuition is a bit costly and food is not provided. It's something to be mindful of if you're thinking about enrolling your child.

    After being at a daycare that was not meeting our needs, we moved our infant twins to Goddard. I…read morewas pretty nervous after having some not-so-great experiences to leave my babies somewhere else and was actually considering staying home instead. Goddard made our transition easy and enjoyable. We absolutely love it. The teachers are fabulous, the hours are great and our boys are progressing SO much. We also love the app that they use which allows us to see what they are doing each and every day. There is no better feeling than dropping your babies off, knowing that they will be safe and happy. I would highly recommend this center to anyone.

    No compassion, not equipped to handle children who are adhd,add, or learn different than other…read morekids. The teachers tell all your personal business to other parents. They lack communication and problem solving! Their resolution is to call you everyday to go pick your kid up. This school is definitely about the money only and leaving kids by the wayside! I would never recommend this school! They leave kids crying by themselves and say oh he's having another day eye roll walk away from child. They nickel and dime you all year, school supplies, lunches, parties, snacks. All the tuition they provide NOTHING for your child!! If you want fake Christians to gaslight you enroll. If you are in the "in crowd" your kid will get beyond great treatment. The moment you question bruises and scratch marks on your child be prepared to be gaslit and put in the "annoying crowd" they don't acknowledge you unless it's for money!! Run run run the staff in upper management don't even bother calling you back. After emails voicemails text etc. just ignore you!! My child is now in therapy due to the unknown treatment from his teacher! So sad!!! They tell their students and the "cool parents" they cater to, to write 5 star reviews!! if you have all kinds of money to blow onto tuition for your child learning nothing and your child just being another number by all means enroll today if you care about your child's mental health, don't go anywhere near the school!!!

    Do NOT send your kids this school. I made the mistake of WASTING my money for this private school,…read morejust for the staff and administration to treat my child (and many other kids) as if they were money bags. As ironic as it sounds, they don't care for the children's education. They have rude secretaries who act as if you're bothering their day when you call. They loosely throw around the fact that they "love" the children when in reality, they love the money they make off of the kids. Those people who run the school are NOT truly saved. Shame on them. I never took my kid out of a school so fast. This is a sorry excuse for a Christian school
