Kindercare North Mentor was a great facility. Lisa, the administrator, was very professional and knowledgeable about her field. She was well organized in scheduling a tour for us and acquainting us with what to expect from this facility. We visited the infant room twice. It is probably the smallest play are of the all the ones we saw on our search. The first day we visited, there were 10 children and it was a little chaotic. Some of the enrolled toddlers were very much climbers and were climbing all over my son's car seat and diaper bag during the visit. The two caregivers that day, though very good at what they do, seemed to be having a slightly hard time keeping an eye on everyone. They relayed to me that they had two additional children that they usually wouldn't because of a change in their parents' work schedules. The second day my husband and I visited was much quieter. There were only 6 children and it seemed much more manageable. One of the caregivers was there both days, I regret that I forget her name, but she is a wonderful teacher, able to redirect children when they would go to climb on things explaining that the behavior was not safe and giving them something better with which to play/interact. Not withstanding, we would have chosen this facility, except, of the children enrolled in our son's age group, there was only one that was not mobile while the others were very active. We found a different facility that had more non-mobile infants in the ratio which we found we were more comfortable with in that there would be less children possibly climbing about our little one. It was not necessarily a better center just a better fit for us. I would recommend this facility to my friends or consider it for our future children.

Left in there by a parent. They swap out new teachers every month. Which affects your child and their relationship. The director is extremely dismissive. They do not follow the parent handbook. The Director is very unwilling to work with the child and families unable to keep staff. When my child started to respond to the change with each new staff memeber'S each month they were unable to identify and help with my child and their needs and meet those need in which i feel is a basic requirement for childcare professionals. What would have been helpful is more partnership and more consideration for my child's emotional well being. Teachers make all the difference and the leadership and admissions team at this facility doesn't seem to be aware of the impact a poorly placed teacher and even director can have on the student. Would not recommend.

My son has been attending the Goddard School in Concord for almost 18 months -- he started when he…read morewas just 6 months old in the Infant One room (they have 3 infant rooms based on age and development milestones) and he is now in the Toddler One room! I cannot believe how fast time goes by! I can honestly say that we think of "school" as an extension of our family -- my husband and I could not be more pleased with our son's development, the care/love he receives on a daily basis and with the administration of the school. All of his teachers have been loving, nurturing and VERY accommodating to all of us. They truly address all of his needs (and our needs as parents) with a unique approach -- they get that HE is OUR world and we appreciate that! Class sizes are smaller than other daycares that we visited and considered; which is really important to us, as it allows the children to have as much focused time as possible and allows the staff to really get to know each child. Their curriculum is constantly changing and we are always amazed at the things that our son learns and shares with us -- he had learned sign language several months ago and we needed to learn it as well to keep up with him and communicate! Any concerns or questions that we have ever had have always been addressed and acknowledged -- we are first time parents and have LOTS of questions all the time! We've also had some unique needs and requests from diet to diaper changes, and they have always honored and supported us without question. Additionally, there are a ton of activities that you can choose to enroll your child in, through Goddard -- like soccer and gymnastics. Being a working mom/dad, it is important to us that our son gets this exposure and it is so nice that he can get this during the day while at school vs. trying to rush in the evenings and weekends to squeeze it all in. These activities are at an additional nominal cost, that is well worth it to us. We could not be more pleased with our decision to enroll him at the Concord location (when I was just 12 weeks pregnant!) and plan on keeping our son at Goddard to continue his education until he is ready for 1st grade. The entire staff and owner of the school are amazing, and I would highly recommend that you consider the Concord Goddard School and that you enroll your child here!

So I went to the school age camp and let me tell you, it was so bad. it gets two stars because SOME…read moreof the staff was decent, but all of them ended up quitting due to how poorly they, and the children were treated. went here from about 2021-2025 and I have so many concerns about the well being of the kids. for one, when I was in camp for the summer, they would take us outside in blazing heat (85 degrees and sometimes more) for at least 4 hours a day, and it was insisted by the upper management according to Katie Berkermn (I believe that's how you spell her name at least). she led the school age program from almost 2024 until time of posting (July 2026) and she works there currently in a position of power among staff. Anyways, she forced us to go outside in a yard with only grass, broken hula hoops which have been thrown out by now, and a closed off sand pit that she wouldn't let us use. There were a few other toys, but they were mostly broken or thrown out. We weren't allowed to go to the bathroom on most occasions while we were outside because either the staff was lazy, or there were not enough staff to take us outside to begin with. they would bring out SINK water in a used juice container that they loosely washed out before repurposing, and I know for a fact the water wasn't really drinkable due to the temperature, the plastic left out in the sun that contaminated it, and the black flecks in the water after getting it from the bathroom sink. I once got food poisoning or an infection (not sure which) from the poor water. It tasted almost chlorinated. Once they kept us outside while a wildfire from canada kept the air quality really low, and a child got a severe asthma attack which teachers made worse by giving him cold water. They were clearly not medically trained and didn't even send him to the hospital for a matter of at least 30 minutes after the incident started. He eventually was taken to the hospital in an ambulance but it was clear he would never come back to the day care. Also, the food quality was very bad, and if a kid pronounced it inedible and didn't eat it, they would let the child starve that day. it consisted of breadsticks with cheese that clearly wasn't good because of how it was prepared and stored, raw hamburgers with no cheese, occasional fries, and some canned fruit. It quite literally looked like and tasted like prison food. And one time this fifth grader kicked me, and teachers just sent me to school with a huge bruise that my parents heard me complain about for weeks. Everyday after lunch in the summer, Ms. Katie would sit us down on the floor of concrete with some thin carpet that was drilled into the ground, and we'd watch some air buds movie that Mrs Katie chose. Nobody ever liked it but Katie, who was sitting in her office eating snacks the whole day. She didn't allow us to play with toys or bring in blankets as we sat there for two to three hours straight. No snacks or entertainment other then that movie was provided for the whole time. They made the children do most of the chores as long as it didn't require harmful chemicals, such as sweeping, wiping the tables, and picking up messes from the little kids. It always smelled horrible in there, and the smell gave me and my siblings a headache. Some kid shoved a spoon down the toilet and they didn't fix it for 3 years. boys and girls had to share a bathroom and still do even after the plumbing issue was resolved. Staff didn't take the initiative to keep people out of the occupied restroom, and there was multiple times where kids would walk in at me and my siblings just to stare while we were using the bathroom. school age area is much better decorated now then it was a year ago, because of a teacher who quit because of how badly she was treated by her manager (Katie). It used to be so dull, and the cabinets that now hang on the wall, cut me multiple times while I was walking by them. I have a scar on my elbow from fourth grade. They never have medical things, and would run out of bandaids often from how many kids needed. The thermometer is years old and not sanitized correctly. The kids are also violent, with several instances where someone kicked a whole in the wall, bit, kicked, hit, cussed, or threw items (myself included). The staff banned phones and electronics (even school ipads and chromebooks) because students would call or text their parents bad things about the daycare. Now they lock electronics in Katie's office so that nobody can "snitch" a diabetic kid who used her phone to check her sugar wasn't allowed to have her phone unless a staff member was watching her screen. The blatent favoritism was also crazy. Katie's kids get better treated by a lot, the autistic kids are favorited by staff, and older kids are yelled at way more. I won't really go into that but you get the point. The state was on their ass a lot because of how many medical incidents, bullying, and unsafe situations occured. Do not send your kids here
