They asked if she could transfer and be their Kindergarten teacher next year for elementary school. Absolutely recommended 1000%

We signed up for a family acct. One our first visit, we used the pool. The lifeguard informed me…read morethat our children had to take a swim test is they either (1. wanted to swim without an adult/parent in the water with them) or (2. wanted to be allowed to swim outside the arms length of the parent/adult). I was in the water with my 8 & 11 year old children because I feel like it is the responsible thing to do when you take your children to a pool regardless of their swim capabilities. I allow my 11 year to attempt the test for fun. The lifeguard wanted them to swim the length of the pool which my children can do. However, the lifeguard would not pass my child because the swim stroke was not perfect. I have personally been a lifeguard, swim instructor, and swim team coach for over 20 years. My children know their strokes but I have not forced them to be on teams or swim long distance. Do I want them to, yes. But I have not forced it. My children have good strokes for more than half the pool distance but get tired toward the end and get sloppy but are not in danger. The strokes just don't look as nice as they did. Our children visit our neighborhood pool just about everyday in the summer and swim unassisted with no issues. It is winter and perhaps the kids are a little out of practice in the 4-5 months since it has been warm enough to attend the neighborhood pool but again, not in danger and swim fine. But not competitive swimmers. We were told that my daughter did not pass the test even though she could swim unassisted the length of the pool. So we just tried to enjoy our time in the pool and planned to try again another day. However, then the lifeguard reprimanded me multiple times because my 8 and 11 year old swimming children were outside of an arms length of distance from me. Again they swim on their own, and I am in the water with them if they need me. The swim test expectations are too high and I now understand why there were no other families there on a Saturday afternoon. The swim test expectations are too high and the lifeguards to strict on their arms length rule for families to enjoy this pool. Again, I have been a lifeguard, instructor, and swim coach for 20 years so I have a solid base of knowledge with which to make this assertion. I attempted to connect with YMCA on this via email. My email was forwarded to the Aquatics Director and I have not received any response. We are planning to cancel this membership as our children cannot go and enjoy the pool because the rules are too strict and I understand this industry better than most. With rules this strict, the lifeguard is really a waste of money as they basically don't allow children in the pool and only adults may swim. I would still love a response but If I do not get one, we will continue with cancelation. Good luck if you have children and planned to use this pool.

This incident occurred 2 months ago, but every chance I get to tell my story I will…read more After today's incident if I could give The Goddard School a ZERO, I would! Today, I picked my baby up from school at 5:30 and the teacher informed me that my baby had been a little cranky for the past hour. Once I arrived home I took her out of the car seat and noticed she wasn't moving her right arm. When I went to touch her arm she started screaming. I called the school to see if she had fallen or if an incident report was done. I was given 3 different conflicting responses. After further observation of my baby I took her to the emergency room. After being examined by the doctor. The diagnosis was Nursemaid's elbow. This is a dislocation of a bone in the elbow called the radius. Dislocation means the bone slips out of its normal position. This injury occurs when a child is pulled too hard by their hand or wrist. So from approximately 12pm to 5:30pm none of Goddard's staff realized that she was in pain, she wasn't moving her arm and that her arm was just dangling! Corporate will be notified in the morning and I would not recommend this daycare to anyone. This is not the first incident I have had with the Goddard school, but it will be my last. After all this the owner falsified documentation and submitted documents to corporate that were not signed by me the parent!!!! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!

I would not recommend this location at all. I removed my child after 1 month here under the new…read moreowner "Ms. Kay". I picked my daughter up earlier than normal one day to find she had peed on herself. She is potty trained, so this was odd... and her sleeping mat was dry. I took her to the restroom in the class and to my surprise, I saw dried up poop on the toilet and no tissue. I took her to the second restroom in the class and saw a pile of soiled clothes on the floor and dried poop on that toilet as well. So, did my child pee on herself because she didn't want to sit on feces?! At this point, I cleaned the toilet myself so my child could use it. I then noticed a lump on her head which I was not informed about. It was red, swollen and did not go away for another 5 days after applying ice off and on to her head with complaints of it hurting. I reported everything to the front desk because the teachers had already gone outside with the class. Nice young lady at the front told me to ask lead teacher about it the next day. The next day, I asked Ms. Amy (lead teacher) about everything mentioned above and she shrugged her shoulders while still cutting out a paper leaf and said "I don't know. Yesterday was a blur. It was a lot going on and I just don't know. I didn't sign up for this. I thought all the kids here were potty trained". Anything she said after that was a blur to me. I couldn't believe she said that. And there are signs in the restroom that state that the kids should be getting assistance. I complained to the front desk and the owner called me and was very insincere, kept making excuses for the teachers, and never once asked about my child. She responded to my report saying "We fully support our teachers and she probably is overwhelmed. The children should be potty trained in that classroom." Ms. Kay kept referring to other kids and I had to stop her mid-sentence because none of what she was saying had to do with me and my concern. I literally left my doctor appointment to come pick up my child mid-day after talking to Ms. Kay. I didn't feel heard or reassured that this would not happen again. Maybe because it will happen again. I emailed Ms. Kay the same day I pulled my child out of the school. One month later, and she still has not responded.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!!!!!! the abuse kids my 2 year…read moreold daughter told me that her teacher slapped her and she fell I called DFACS and they are investigating I also contacted the police the director (who is very unprofessional) told me children make up stories and I can't review the camera because it's now deleted. My child is very advanced and couldn't possibly make up a story like that ever since she told me about the teacher hitting her she has nightmares and would cry anytime anyone mention going to school. A previous teacher told me they pinch children behind their ears and hand so it won't bruise. I also have a picture of a teacher sitting on a student because the child didn't want to go to sleep. This daycare is the worse and the director only care about money not the children. They feed them the same food everyday, the teachers and children are always sick and they are also abusing children!!!!!!! Teachers are constantly quitting because it's a horrible place to work.
