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!!

We have been sending our kids to Nanny's for over 5 years now and it is hard to think of another…read morechildcare facility in Knoxville that I would Trust more than Nanny's. Most of the staff at Nanny's have worked there for over 5 years and some have made it their career. What is really special is the facility as well as the staff. With their very own cafeteria it teaches children to line up and prepares them for how they will have to behave when it is time for them to go to school. They have plenty of extracurricular activities to keep the children busy and even offer swim lessons across the road at the Ft. Sanders gym complex. This was great for us since we didn't really know where to send our boys for swim lessons. The teachers go with the children so we know they are safe and they get to learn valuable things like swimming, soccer, gymnastics, music, and ballet. They were also rated #1 for daycare facilities in Knoxville. How great is that. So if you are thinking of where to go for daycare and you have not made up your mind or you are just starting the journey, go take a tour of the facility. You will not be disappointed.

My family and I were new to the area and I submitted interest in La Petite of Oak Ridge for our…read moredaughter. We recieved a call back and were told they had availability, and they scheduled a visit with us. The visit was confirmed, so my husband brought my daughter to check it out. Upon arrival, the director was not there. They waited and waited but unfortunately the director never came. With that said, the office lady jumped in and offered a packet, but could not offer pricing or much info (main reason we went was to have an understanding of pricing). So I emailed the director and mentioned we unfortunately didn't meet her but I was hoping to get more information on pricing. She responded stating they have not availability and to let her know if we would like to go on the waiting list. This felt a bit cold, as I was initially told the week before there was space, and I didn't even receive sympathy for missing the appointment. Seems to be lack of communication amongst the team, and we did not have a good experience TRYING to get more information on the program. With that said, we will be looking elsewhere for daycare options.

Wouldn't recommend bringing your child here. They kick kids out because they are "too much to…read morehandle" but what kid isn't as a toddler. The staff doesn't seem to connect with the children well, and aren't always very pleasing to be around. Communication is a lack there of, it was always difficult to get information out of the staff if there were "incidents" that happened at the daycare. It doesn't matter to them how long your child as been there if they are "too much to handle" they will not be afraid to let your child go. Although, your child has been there since they were 6 months old. There are better places in the area to take your children. NOT HERE.

Our child is so happy there and has grown so much in the time he has been there. The new owners and school director are truly wonderful and nurturing. I think the best review is that the kids all love, adore and respect her. Everyone at the school is like a child whisperer. It's truly amazing to see a room full of 2-5 years olds sitting quietly and listening. I looked at every daycare/school in town and was recommended her by several different people. I have since recommend her to everyone I know. Highly recommend!!

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!
