As a parent, the #1 thing you care about when your kid is at daycare is that they are safe. #2 is that they are having fun. My son loved this school so much that often when I would pick him up, he didn't want to leave. My son exceled on so many things since starting this school - at 3 years old he can write every letter of the Alphabet and even say all of his colors and numbers in Spanish! But most of all, my son who used to be painfully shy is one of the most outgoing and social 3 year old I know. I have all of his amazing teachers to thank for this. This school is more then just a daycare, you are treating like family. Again, my son started at 18 months in the room the "strawberries" - which was a great first room for him. He's been in 2 other classes since, and has had nothing but fantastic teachers along the way. We are leaving Goddard to go into our towns public school and we are heartbroken to leave but we are so grateful to have made the memories and friends we made along the way. We will forever remember our Goddard family.

My daughter was only enrolled here for 2 weeks, and I experienced multiple issues that forced me to…read moreremove her. On day one, I witnessed a teacher yelling at a crying infant. Throughout her short time there, I often picked her up dirty (with dried boogers), her notebook and bag were messy with food, and daily updates were just generic notes with no personalized feedback. Incidents like her falling in the yard or another incident of another child throwing sand at her were never communicated -- I only learned about them from my daughter telling me directly. I emailed the director each time, but nothing improved. Despite leaving due to these concerns, A deduction of 25% was taken out of the security deposit they require and was still charged for two remaining days of the week she did not attend to due to these events. Parents deserve a safe, clean, and caring environment, and unfortunately this daycare did not provide that.

Choosing KIDS Early Learning for our son was one of the very best decisions we've made as parents…read more He attended from 9 months through Pre-K 4, and his experience there left us all delighted at every turn. The teachers and staff at KIDS do far more than "watch children" -- they nurture, protect, champion, and cheer them on. Many have entrusted KIDS with their own children or grandchildren, which speaks volumes about how deeply they believe in and invest in this program. From infancy onward, our son received warm, attentive care. In the baby rooms, caregivers were gentle, responsive, and reassuring. In the toddler rooms, we watched him grow confidence, language, and social skills through imaginative play, guided exploration, and consistent support. The teachers tuned in to his temperament, honored his pace, and encouraged independence in safe, nurturing ways. Even through big transitions like potty training, the teachers partnered with us wholeheartedly -- offering creative strategies, gentle encouragement, and celebrating every small win with enthusiasm. Each month we received a detailed "snapshot" of the curriculum -- covering books, social studies, math, language, science, and more. I was consistently impressed with the director's thoughtfully designed program, which struck a healthy balance between structured learning and imaginative free play. The Pre-K 4 program at KIDS truly prepared our son for kindergarten. He entered knowing basic letters and sounds -- and graduated with the confidence and skills of a budding reader. The teachers challenged him, encouraged his curiosity, and made learning feel magical. The classrooms were vibrant and joyful, and every activity was intentionally crafted to build skills, self-confidence, and joy. He didn't just "learn" -- he truly blossomed. He also adored summer camp at KIDS. Between weekly swim lessons and energetic field trips (bowling, Urban Air, Monster Golf, and more), it's clear the director brings years of experience to creating a rich, growth-oriented curriculum. They say it takes a village -- and KIDS is the most caring, wise, magical village I could ever imagine for our child. If you want more than "just childcare," a place where your child is nurtured, challenged, and adored -- KIDS Early Learning is nothing short of a blessing. We can't recommend it more fervently.

He also has learned about the Jewish holidays and Shabbat. My son also has a severe peanut allergy which the school is mindful of. He currently does not stay for lunch but there is a separate lunch table for those with allergies. In addition he is not potty trained so they change diapers too. My daughter (currently 7 mths old) and I also take part in weekly Mommy n Me classes with Ms Judy. She absolutely lights up every time we see Ms Judy. I did mommy n me classes with my son which made the transition to school extremely easy. The school is also affordable offering 2, 3 or 4 day options. If you are a member of the synagogue discounts are also available. I would highly recommend to any parent looking for a loving and enriching environment.
