My son just started out here. He's adjusted great to the place. We were worried as he was in a…read morehome-based program for a year (Careplus Fitchburg, great place too, but the hours didn't work for our schedules) and thought that he might not like the change. However in less than a week he went from apprehensive about the new place, to loving to go to school in the morning. If you ask him if he had fun at school today he'll answer something like "yes..... read books, danced, played in sandbox!!' (which is a pretty articulate response for a 22 month old). The staff is attentive/fun/well qualified and the facility is amazing (huge sandbox, lots of playgrounds, a track for wheeled vehicles, nature trails, gardens, a rubberized indoor play area for rainy days etc). They also feed the kids good healthy meals (my 22 month old ate a ton of asparagus, one of his favorite foods, the other day). I should also point out that they are a NAEYC and Youngstar 5 star facility, so no worries there.

We just absolutely love the Learning Gardens. My daughter started when she was 8 months old and the…read morenewborn teachers, Ms. JJ and Ms. Breanna were just amazing with her. Their excitement and energy every morning at drop off just made my heart so happy knowing that they were genuinely happy to see her! Now she is in the 1-year-old classroom with Ms. Maddie, and to see the joy on my daughter's face at drop off is just the best! Maddie is so wonderful with Blake and I just love hearing all the stories about her day/accomplishments at pick up! They do a great job of sending updates throughout the day, and our favorite part are the photos they share! And the chef and kitchen menu is awesome! It always smells so delicious at drop off and they give the kids a great, healthy variety of foods. Last thing is, even from the beginning, when I would drop her off, ALL of the teachers would greet Blake by name as we walked down to her classroom. How special is that?? Couldn't be happier that my daughter gets to go to daycare here!

This facility is beautifully designed. They have a large open room with a beautiful indoor playground perfect for toddlers. There are several other play areas within this large open space including an art table, puzzle area, mega blocks/duplo areas, a little grocery stand with play food and play kitchen, etc. There is a big sandbox for kids to play in. There are also lots of riding toys. There is another room with tons of toys. Another large room has fake grass and tons of fun active toys like tunnels, balance stones, balls, hula hoops, a giant size ConnectFour game, etc. The staff was diligently cleaning up as kids made messes and keeping toys organized. Highly recommend their open gym for parents of toddlers.

First, let me say we have a lot of experience with daycares, and I must admit that we are picky…read more So, it is saying a lot that we were blown away by this awesome school. My son has lots of energy, and other places have shown zero patience, but Mr. Mark and Miss Lauren were excellent with him from the beginning. Miss Lauren is now in the office with Miss Sheena, who is also awesome, but you could still be lucky enough to get Mr. Mark as your kid's teacher. I will detail below what we loved most about the school. 1. The curriculum was good, and my 4 year old son knows a ton of sight words. There is a detailed report that comes out every day about what the kids are learning, and they even started teaching them chess. I also love that there is structured learning without the classes being so ridged that a large portion of the kids can't sit through lessons. We've experienced places with no patience that have caused me to lose my patience based on the way my son has been treated. Not here.. great education while still understanding the needs of small children. They also have a large gym for the kids to blow off steam in bad weather. 2. The staff and owners go above and beyond to make this place special for kids, and make parents comfortable. My husband even observed one of the owners helping another parent change a flat tire. They had a Santa for the kids at Christmas, hosted Trunk or Treat for Halloween, and provided a free session with a nutritionist to help parents with picky eaters. Never have I felt so confident that we had partners in the process of raising up our son, and I have never known a daycare where I felt more confident that they actually cared about my child. 3. The children are happy. You can see it in all the pictures. You can see it in their attitudes. My son made good friends here, and still asks to see them. There is also a ton of parent involvement. We ended up moving for a job, and I actually cried over pulling my son from this school. When you've had bad experiences, you truly appreciate the really good ones. I am grateful for our time at Goddard Verona and would encourage any parents reading this review to enroll.

The Verona school has only been open 2-3 weeks at this point... However my 2 1/2 year old has never…read morebeen happier at a childcare facility than he is now. It's not a struggle to get him out the door and to school. He knows where he's going and looks forward to it. The teachers are great and the lesson plans are creative, educational and FUN. There's a great variety of things for the kids to do. The facility is brand new and with exceptional amenities and security. The Director and Owners are on-site and very involved. They've even got my son eating his vegetables (since snacks AND lunch are provided). Lots of pros. I have not encountered any cons yet. As of now, we could not be more satisfied with ALL the school has to offer!! I would refer, and have referred other parents to the school.

To address the previous reviewer's comments: The staff is largely the same as it has been the entire time we've been with the school. Any childcare/school has turnover and the staff that are the Lead Teachers and caregivers have been the same the 5 years we have been there. The children in the 3-6 year old range do switch rooms throughout the day but that is due to split between children who are beginning to learn to write and read and those who are not quite ready for that yet. They have plenty of free choice time as well has many activities that are learning exercises that they feel are so fun they don't realize they are working. My oldest child was well on his way to 2nd/3rd grade math before he even entered the public kindergarten. Beyond all of this, my children are well loved and cared for and treated like family.

The principal has many great ideas, like for example, this year all the children presented their art work as in a gallery; very impressive!
