It was terrifying to leave such a tiny baby with complete strangers. As the weeks and months passed, I saw that my daughter was not only in "good hands"...but she was truly loved and cared for in a way that I am so thankful for. Four years later, our 2nd daughter joined the school at 12 weeks and we had the same amazing experience. We have been at The Goddard School for a full 8 and a half years up until the girls have both now started their journeys in Elementary School. I cant describe the kind of appreciation that I have for all the staff and owners of The Goddard School for not only taking care of my daughters, but loving them and starting them with an impeccable early childhood education. I would, and do constantly, recommend The Goddard School to anyone who desires to leave their children with individuals who care, love and will teach their children so many fundamental lessons so early in life!

The staff is wonderful and keeps me informed of everything. They work with him on his homework, too, which helps with my busy schedule as a business owner.

Thank you to all who have worked there over the years assisting in caring for my child.

This school is over all pretty awesome. I have two daughters that have attended here for about 3…read moreyears now. I've never had any issues with the teachers or parents aside from the occasional fight or two that all kids get in as they grow up. Security here is A1 as well. You have to pass Biometrics and then a separate door with a passcode on a keypad. They do pick up from about 5 or 6 schools around West Knoxville and my daughters happened to go to one of those so that is very convenient. They have a specifically labeled bus. They also have a pretty cool summer program for kindergarteners and above filled with field trips and educational items. It is conveniently located and off the street of Kingston Pike in the Farragut area so anyone in West Knoxville will be happy. I definitely recommend this to any parent looking for a place but I know they are rarely free and always filled up which I suppose is a good thing. Kids won't stop and neither will this staff. The head director is pretty involved and asks me what we are doing daily and I know you don't always get that from staff at a childcare location. Highly recommend

I have called the director multiple times with no answers. I paid a deposit of $335 that they…read moreguaranteed us a spot and the first week of care. They told us we could have our son come in the fall with no specific date and I called and the director was always on a bus route or not in office with no call back. I called in spring no answer and now it is almost end of summer and I just want my money back. We did not get a spot nor would I send my kid to this facility. I have now spoke with the director twice this week but she keeps blowing me off saying she need to speak to admin or name isn't in there database and it's always "I'll call you tomorrow." They have probably spent my money and this is ridiculous!!

I was prepared to write a lengthy review of this school, however after reading the review written…read moreby Amber G below (please read thoroughly) she has stated everything I wanted to say. I agree with her 100%. The only thing I will add to her review is this school is negligent in supervising of the children. Especially on the playground. My child was severely injured and has since been withdrawn. There is absolutely no diversity and they treat the teachers horrible. I would not recommend them to anyone so cares about the safety of their child.

I have had both of my children attend Garden Path School, each beginning at around 2 years old. One…read morecurrently attends, and the other has "graduated" to kindergarten. I could not have asked for a better experience for our family. Angela is incredibly gifted at meeting each child's specific needs, and working with the child as well as the family to ensure that the children are in a safe and enriching environment. My children have flourished academically, socially and emotionally. The curriculum is creative and flexible, with a good leaning towards STEM and problem solving. One of the things that I love most about GP is that children of all ages are in the same classroom, creating an intricate social structure. There is also strong communication with parents and many opportunities to connect with other families. I can't say enough how much I love Garden Path School and what a blessing it has been for our family!

I found Angela through a friend and was surprised how much she knew about teaching pre-k children…read moreand what goes into each lesson. I was looking to give my daughter a great start in her development and could not be happier with Angela's school. It's a very personal and hands on teaching style that my daughter loves. I actually have a hard time getting her to go home some days because she is having so much fun with her friends. My wife and I both work, and it's hard to leave my child's upbringing partially in the hands of other folks. It was really important to me to find a school where my daughter would be learning, but also feel loved by the teaching staff. I personally think Garden Path is the best pre-k school you will find, probably in the entire state of Illinois. I love that's it's also home based so my daughter feels like she is in a safe and comfortable environment every day. Many of the big volume day cares near me are trying techniques to make the building look like a home inside with cabinets and furniture, but those still feel like a school. Garden Path is an actual home, that hides a pretty awesome school inside! My personal fave: They use tadpoles software everyday and I get to see videos and pictures of what the kids are learning and what field trips they may have gone on! My daughter loves it there and it's the next best thing to being able to have my wife or I stay home and raise her during the critical early years. Thanks Angela!

My son has attended Kindercare Learning Center Cedar Bluff for 2 years now and it was his very…read morefirst daycare he attended since he was an infant in the infant room and now he is an healthy 3 year old little boy. At first I loved the center but the last few months have changed at this location in management and center wise. I have had my child come home with several bite marks where it broke skin and management has not done anything about it. I also personally saw while dropping off and picking up my child from childcare that cellphone usage has become the number one priority in the center some of the teachers are more on their phones than watching the children. Just recently I have witnessed picking my child up early from child care that a teacher left a 3 year old little girl from my Child's class outside by herself for 10 minutes with no supervision at all and the teacher was already in the classroom not knowing where the child was or even that she was outside by herself. As a parent I see that it is irresponsible and if you can't watch children and make sure they are safe then they shouldn't be teachers watching children. I did mention it to the management team in their office when I was leaving with my child. When I went to drop off my child at daycare the next day I noticed the teacher was still working at the location, as a parent if a child is left outside with no adult supervision I feel the teacher should not be working there anymore and also there are times when management is not even there at the school and leaving other teachers in charge to take their place that has no idea what is going on in the center. I feel like it makes parents specially myself as a parent to think twice about having or leaving their children in childcare again. As a parent we should always feel that our children are safe and being well taken care of while in childcare considering we pay lots of money to have them in the centers. I feel like this childcare center really needs to be looked into and things need to change at this child care center before somebody seriously gets hurt and I don't want to see that happen to any child at all.

My 4-year-old son has been in daycare here for about 3 years now and there's not much I can…read morecomplain about. The staff are incredibly friendly. I've had the good fortune of getting to know a couple of them personally and I have found them to be some of the most upstanding people I've met since I've moved to Knoxville. The facilities are clean, the kids have a structured routine of daily activities geared towards their specific age group (each age group is separated into their own rooms), and they get plenty of time to run around outside (or in the gym if it's cold/rainy). They offer a weekly Music 'n' Motion class you can sign your child up for and they often have parties for the kids to celebrate birthdays or the holidays. They also recently participated in the Fantasy of Trees parade down at the convention center. My only complaint is that the daily reports communicating to the parent(s) what their child did and how they behaved is a little inconsistent. However, the teachers are always willing to talk to you personally about how your child is doing. All in all, I'm thankful to have found such a great place for my son to be while I work and go to school.
