They always have their finger on the pulse of how my children are doing, take a vested interested in their well-being, and communicate clearly, thoroughly, and punctually. While this location does have a high turn over rate for aides, Ms. Jenn, Ms. Dana, along with Ms. Veenu (Blue Horses lead), Ms. Nicole (Blue Horses aide), Ms. Kelly (Mobile Infants lead), and Ms. Jasmine (Mobile Infants aide) are the constants that my kids and I have come to rely on, and they do not disappoint.

The only reason i'm keeping my son enrolled here is because of his lovely teacher Ms. Sangita. If…read moreshe ever leaves this school, I am definitely withdrawing my son from here. Lightbridge Academy policies are ridiculous and high priced for parents that are simply just looking for decent child-care. The payment due date is randomly on the 27th of each month & they will charge "$40 PER DAY the tuition is late". (Cited from Lightbridge academy handbook).This is insane. No where else does that. They are unwilling to work with you or make any exceptions. There is ALWAYS a disease/illness every week that your child is exposed to. They are always looking for a reason to keep your child out of school & still expect full tuition on time regardless if your child is out of school for a week. Not to mention the tuition price will increase every year for absolutely no good reason. Lightbridge teacher turnover rate is unbelievable. Every month expect to see a new teacher. The teachers are most likely overworked and underpaid for their hard-work they give daily to the children. Overall, I do not recommend Lightbridge academy because of Corporate greed.

Our experience with the school was unpleasant to say the least. There were multiple incidents of…read moreour 2 year old daughter going hungry, and the answer we were given is because it is 'policy'. Once our daughter's name on her lunchbox had one letter fade away. The result was that she was not fed because it's against school policy to feed lunch in such situations. The interesting thing to note is that no one on her classroom had a name even remotely close to hers, leave alone being a letter away, and it was very clear who the lunchbox belonged to. Another time, my wife had been to ER due to complications from flu the previous day, and the school knew it because we had called them to release our daughter to my brother in law. The next morning, mom was pretty much out of business and I was trying my best to get the kids to school. I was 15 mins past the class' snack time. I did not realize it while dropping but 5 mins later called them from my home explaining the circumstances and the medical issue and asking them to make a one time exception to feed her outside of schedule. My request was denied with the reason that it's against school policy and no exception can be made.I then lost my patience, yelled at the person on the phone , picked up my kid back and vowed never to send her to this school again. When I entered her class to pick her up, I was visibly upset but was trying not to talk because there were kids present. However, I was greeted with this remark from the teacher in her class - 'had you brought her early, we would have fed her'. I told her that I do not want to get into an argument in front of the kids. The next day, while discussing this situation with Mr. Noel, I brought this point up and asked him why was I being instigated into an argument by the teacher in front of the kids. I did not get an answer. My sense is that the school is being run more like an organization riddled with policies, rather than a place geared towards the welfare of the child. They do a lot of lip service to their vision and goals - however when asked questions like 'would you be happy had your kid had to go through the same suffering' the answer was always 'no but it's policy and we can't make an exception to the policy'. In my discussion with Mr. Noel the next day, in the space of 10 mins , he let me know that the school was much more fun years ago than it is now but also that they have pride in the school. The only thing I let him know is that you, as the owner of the school, agree with me that the school policies caused my child to go hungry but you cannot and have not done anything about it. You are powerless to make an exception under genuine circumstances. I think your pride is misplaced. And the fact that you were ready to let a child go hungry, especially knowing that the family is under stress due to a medical emergency, should make you rethink what your school has become, and who are the policies designed for - certainly not the children. And let me say this, we have never had to have a discussion like this with the school that our older son goes to (3 years now) Teachers should be empathetic, caring and affectionate towards the child. I hope that as fellow human beings, they (and the school staff) are cognizant of when parents are under duress, and make a good faith effort to help. We all face such situations at one point of time or other, and as working adults sometimes we look for help. We entrust our kids to the school at a tender age, with the hope that they understand that the well being of the child should be a priority. However, when the child suffers because of the school 'a policy, I am not ready to continue to send my daughter to this school. . I hope the staff and teachers realize that there's much more to being a teacher than being able to read policies over the phone. The kids spend more time with you then with us. And in 5 months, if you were not able to develop a little affection and caring for the child to at least ensure that she is well fed while the dad is running hairy, I am not sure what to say. I know my review comes across as rather tedious and especially scathing, but I've tried to cover the facts, as well the overall sense that I have of how the school functions. I have already discussed all of this with Mr Noel, providing him a calm but honest feedback. It is up to him what he makes of it.

The only thing which every working couple would want is for their kids to be taken care and nurtured in a friendly and safe atmosphere and Goddard school provided us that comfort day in and day out for 10 years !! By the end of their Goddard journey, both kids were confident of facing the challenges of public school and are continuing to do well today.. Thanks to the staff and management of Goddard school for laying the strong foundation!! We miss the Goddard School and wish that they had classes thru 12th grade !

The students are so smart, kind and have larger than life personalities that will leave an imprint on a teacher heart forever. At Springdale I was allowed to develop my own curriculum which allowed my students to grow towards new academic goals. As my students thrived academically and socially my hard work did not go unseen by the parents, nor staff. However one staff member Ms. Jessica constantly would praise my efforts. Ms. Jessica ( program teacher leader) is one of the most patient, kindest understanding and inclusive leader that I have ever know. She will make you feel everyday appreciated and valued (and she respects all working mothers and the challenges that they face). Never have a worked at a job and a leader would tell me thank you everyday when I leave work. Therefore between Ms. Jessica ( leadership, and support), my co teacher Ms.M who always kept students, safe, engaged and came up with fun activities, and was her student's biggest educational cheer leader, and Ms, S always smiling, bringing use coffee and giving use food. I would say if you want to be happy , and valued going to a job every day springdale is the job for you. Or if you are a parent and want to bring your child to springdale just know they will be while cared for and educated under Ms. Jessica leadership.
