Initially, my wife wanted to enroll our three year old son in a Montessori preschool. In some ways,…read moreThe Goddard School is the opposite of Montessori: where Montessori stresses free, unstructured, child-led activities, Goddard stresses organized, structured, teacher-led activities. For our son, who is naturally independent and creative, the structure Goddard provides, rather than stifling his independence and creativity, helps him channel it in new, more social and collaborative ways. Sometimes this is difficult for him. But we think it's challenging him to develop skills that a Montessori-type approach might not provide. Plus, the teachers are incredibly well-qualified, the facility is new, clean, beautiful, and very well-managed, and the security and health precautions are advanced and well-applied. The Goddard School and its proprietary curriculum may not be well-suited to fit every child's needs and all familys' budgets, but we feel it's well-suited to our child's needs and well-worth the added expense over some of its competitors. Also, it's good to know that TGS is a franchise, so each individual facility will only be as good as its owner-operator. And the owner-operator at this facility, himself a father, is kind, respectful, organized, efficient, dedicated, detail-oriented, professional, and an excellent manager of both property and personnel. We highly recommend this school to anyone who feels that their child would benefit from this kind of learning environment.

The staff and caregivers truly care about the wellbeing and development of the children. They are warm, attentive and take a genuine interest in the growth and development of my little man. My little dude looks forward to coming here every day, and is greeted by the warmest, happiest staff. Knowing our child is in such capable, loving hands gives us complete peace of mind. The level of attention that Kiddie Academy provides is well worth the value! The level of attention, structure, communication, and genuine care our child receives far exceeds what we expected for the cost. It truly feels like an investment in our child's development rather than just childcare. Thank you, Kiddie Academy, for putting this anxious mama heart at ease!!

After looking at other child care centers for my 19 month old, I was completely won over by…read moreNature's Child Care. THIS is what I envision when I think of a quality center. I love that they have a controlled entry system at the front door and cameras watching every area. Inside, the classrooms are large, bright, clean, and decked out with quality, developmentally appropriate furnishings and playthings. The outside areas are well-equipped and fenced. The employees are very friendly and made my son feel at ease immediately. The tuition is (what I believe to be) a bargain for such quality. I also appreciate that it is a peanut-free zone, since my son may have an allergy. A nice extra - they offer optional activities (with fees) such as soccer, dance, and music. I am thrilled to have found this place!

Nature's Childcare staff and the entire business made me feel very comfortable with going back to work. There is video monitoring in each room (not viewable from my work computer, which I actually prefer) so if there is an event, it can be reviewed. The center is secure and entire staff is well trained. The management are VERY aware of what is going on in each room and the communication between staff and parent is excellent. Each room has 'Teachers' and they actually teach, which I am always impressed with. I now have three children in Nature's Childcare and wouldn't dare go anywhere else for childcare. I wish every day care center was as impressive as this one! I can honestly say that I would not be back to work if it weren't for Nature's Childcare. Thank you! Thank you!

As a parent, I felt compelled to write this after reading some reviews that didn't reflect our…read moreexperience at Primrose School of South Meridian at all. Our children absolutely love this school and feel very comfortable there. From the moment we walk in, the environment feels warm, calm, and intentionally cared for. The classrooms are spotless, thoughtfully designed, and organized in a way that feels nurturing rather than chaotic. Cleanliness here is clearly a priority, and it shows every single day. This quality is at the top of my list of must haves for a place for my children! What truly sets Primrose apart, though, is the staff. The teachers are engaged, attentive, and genuinely loving. Our children are greeted by name, embraced with kindness, and supported emotionally as well as academically.They both come home happy, confident, and excited to tell us about what they learned and did that day. That alone speaks volumes. The curriculum has been age-appropriate, structured, and meaningful. We regularly see projects, activities, and evidence of learning come home. More importantly, we see growth--in social skills, independence, curiosity, and joy. This is not a place where children are discouraged from being kids; it's a place where they're guided, supported, and encouraged to thrive, be curious and inquisitive. Every child and family is different, and I fully respect that experiences can vary. But for us, Primrose has been nothing but a positive, loving, and enriching environment. If you're looking for a preschool that prioritizes safety, cleanliness, emotional care, and thoughtful learning, this school has been an excellent fit for our family. We're grateful to be part of this community and would confidently recommend it to other parents.

We love NHA and look forward to seeing what they are up to each day. Proud to have them as part of our "Village".
