**Copying this from my Google review**…read more All in all, this school started as a dream and turned into a nightmare. I have waited so long to write this review and am now so happy to be able to do so. I really wish I could give zero, or even negative stars, but I have to give one. Simply put, don't let these people near your children. My sons attended LSP and my older son was horribly mistreated. A teacher- who had been complained about by multiple other teachers- smothered him to keep him from crying at nap time. He has said it happened more than once. After becoming aware of this and bringing it to the attention of the Assistant Director, Tia (NOW THE DIRECTOR!), we found out that they were already aware of it and had failed to inform us. It turned out multiple teachers had complained to Tia and the then-director, Kelley, about this woman's behavior with students. We also found out from staff that Kathy, the "head teacher" was telling the then-two year olds, that monsters and skeletons were going to come and get them and the Big Bad Wolf was going to blow their houses down if they were bad. This definitely explained some nightmares our son (and others, we were told) suffered from. Staff turnover was so bad that at times I had no idea who was with my children. I picked them up one day and a girl I'd never seen before said "which one is ___?" It turned out he wasn't even in the classroom. Somehow he'd ended up in another room and she had no clue because she didn't even know who he was. Their DFPS records show toddlers left outside alone, teachers dropping children onto cots, and failure to report incidents, among other issues. Do your homework and read their reports. When we first found LSP, we loved it. We were so happy to have our son, and then sons, there. The old director, Chandler, was incredible. Unfortunately, after Chandler left the school fell apart. Corporate leadership didn't seem to care at all and has not once inquired about our son or our family. When we were able to secure new care and left, Kerri, their area director, tried to intimidate us into staying by telling us she had heard terrible things about the school we were going to (I still don't know how she found out where we were going, because I didn't tell her). UPDATE: I've now received an email from Abby, the COO at Little Sunshine's, containing veiled threats if I don't take down this review. Her primary threat is to respond to the review, disparaging me and my family, and I'm happy to address it. The fact that LSP only cares now that this review is affecting business, says everything. Yes, we filed a lawsuit and ultimately made the decision to file a notice of non-suit, which does not mean we dropped the suit. It means that our son can sue personally at a later date if he feels it is the right decision for him, and it also means that if further trauma from these incidents is uncovered, the suit can be reopened. The reason for that is that it was for our son's good. Little Sunshine's offered us a small settlement that came along with a non-disclosure agreement stating I would remove everything negative I've ever posted or reviewed about them, and that I would not tell anyone else about this ever. To challenge that settlement would have required going to trial, which would have been an extremely traumatic experience for my son. Our decision was that Little Sunshine's had already hurt him enough, and we wouldn't let them put him through months or even years of analysis, interviews, and attacks on his family. Absolutely no amount of money would have been enough for us to put our child through that. I also felt that it was not worth other parents not being able to learn about what they did to us. Parents deserve to know the things that happen where they leave their children. The incident with my son was investigated by DFPS and the then-Director's lack of response to it is noted on the Texas DFPS site. I will also note that I didn't post this review until after we filed the notice of non-suit because it made me so angry that they demanded I hide this from other parents.

This is my kids' second daycare, so a lot of my opinions are based on a comparison of the two…read moredaycares my kids went to. I just love this place and everyone who works there. I switched my kids to this daycare because there seemed to be more structure in their schedules, and my son was especially unhappy about attending his old school every day. I was shocked when, on day 2 of attending Southlake Early Care, my son did not have a meltdown about being dropped off and just casually walked into his classroom, excited to see what everyone was up to. He didn't even turn around to say goodbye to me. He is just so happy to come here every day. At the old school, some days he would come home with the same diaper he had on when I dropped him off. They were under the impression that he was potty trained, when he was actually still working on it. But at Southlake Early Care, he was consistently reminded and helped in using the bathroom. He is now completely potty trained (for daytime) and doesn't wear pull ups during the day at all. As for my daughter, at her old school, she was getting one 20-minute nap for the whole day because they did not have a consistent nap schedule for all the babies. When we moved her to Southlake Early Care, I was a little wary about how they get all the babies in the room to nap at the same time. But they do. She now naps at least two hours every day, and she is so much more lively and happy in the evenings at home. One day, when I dropped her off after a long weekend, she ran straight to her teacher, who was sitting on the floor playing with the other babies. She jumped into her arms and gave her a big hug. It makes me so happy to see that my kids have a connection with the people I trust to take care of them all day. The staff are also very friendly and easy to talk to. They know my name, always ask how things are going, and they instantly know which kids are mine (unlike previous school). Oh and it is cheaper than most other daycares!!! Not only is it cheaper, but they also include supplies -- diapers, wipes, formula, all meals, etc. You can also tell that their teachers are happy to be there, which was not the same at the previous daycare. From what I can tell, Southlake Early Care treats their teachers well, and it makes the kids happier, too.

In fact, I was about to serve a build your own taco and as I set out the ingredients, my daughter was asking for the ranch because we was excited and hoping for a salad at age 5. My first requirement in childcare was looking for a place that teaches the Bible and are unafraid to pray or talk about God. This place does incorporate some faith into their childcare curriculum. My children are school age now and they wanted to come back for their summer care program, which we love. They go on trips twice a week to places that we can't always make time to go to as a family so I enjoy hearing about their experiences. If you're on the fence, schedule a tour and get your application. It's beyond worth it!

The corporate side is broken from the "Regional" on up. A finger had to be pointed at someone due to the extreme loss of revenue and it certainly wasn't going to be toward themselves so it was directed to me, regardless of my outstanding reviews. Enrollment isn't where it should be due to the poor location and Southlake is a tough crowd. Anyone who lives in the area would agree. Sadly, TLE has struggled since opening and continues to struggle with brand awareness which affected enrollment, aside from the area being saturated with programs. I was told I was the sole reason why we couldn't enroll. You can read all the existing reviews and decide that for yourselves. My passion not only for my work, but my team and my support of the brand was obvious. I was so proud touring and enrolling families into the program as I knew it was amazing. What I will say is the teaching team specifically who currently works there, Maddy, and Chef Pam are phenomenal. They are the strongest team I've had in my career and it shows. They will take the very best care of your children and continue to do what they love. Thankfully, families don't have to interact much with the upper management side. So while it may seem odd I still support the school, it is purely for the team who is there now

All of our interactions with the administration have been positive and we have found them to be responsive and diligent. We have also found that parents of children attending the Goddard School in Southlake are friendly and welcoming. We have enjoyed the seasonal events hosted by the school and its efforts at creating a genuine sense of community among the families there.

We could not recommend Goddard Southlake more highly.
