BEWARE: STARR'S MILL ACADEMY First, I would like to start by…read moresaying that I would not blast a business if it were not for me being worried about the following things happening to another child. There are a few good people at this place. One being the director Megan, Amber and Elicia in the infant's room. I wish them the best. I believe they care. I am a foster mom and enrolled my 4-month-old there in October. I have had many issues since they beginning. One major issue is the lack of communication with the teachers. I complained in February about this to the owner, Rammelle. One of the teachers was let go. Everyday I take 3 water baby bottles for my daughter and formula separated into a different container. One Friday, they only fed my daughter 1 bottle all day (from 9am - 5pm). She had a runny nose that day. At pickup, her nose was so crusty. They had not cleaned it all day. These issues were reported to my DFACS caseworker. I informed the assistant director that Monday and told them that it better not ever happen again. Again, there was no communication as to why she WAS NOT FED. She was not sick or teething at this time. I was heartbroken to know my 6.5-month-old only had one bottle all day. I was told this was due to turnover with the teachers and new ones being in the room. There is no excuse for this type of treatment. They finally got a few teachers in the babies' room that are nurturing and caring. 2 weeks ago, 4-5 days before my adoption was finalized, I got a call that said one of the teachers let my baby fall out of her arms as she was visiting the infant's room. She had a nasty place underneath her eye. I am sorry, but you do not let a baby "accidentally" fall out of your arms on the floor. They moved my 10.5-month-old daughter to the infant's room last week. The workers in this room are not qualified to babysit my dogs. Their names are Amanda and Emily. They were too lazy to even introduce themselves the first day I dropped her off in that room. I had to question them for their names. While in the infant's room, they started feeding her stuff like hamburgers, pickles, and meatballs without notifying me or talking to me about it. 2 days ago, I got another call from the owner, Rammelle, saying my daughter had been bitten by another baby. She sent the video. I was not happy, but no marks were left, and I understand things like this occasionally happen. Yesterday, my sitter picked my baby up from daycare. When she got home, she immediately brought her to me. She is a very tiny baby and had the nastiest bite mark on her arm. The incompetent people at this school did not do an accident report, call me, or report it to the owner. Rammelle had no clue when I called. She did track down the video and send it. As Emily picked my child up after this injury, she was not kind or nurturing. She almost dropped her and seemed to sling her around. My child will not be neglected any longer. I went to pick up her things today and to inform them that she would not be back. I tried to have a conversation with the two teachers (dumb and dumber). Amanda would not even look at me. I demanded that she look me in the eyes. She made a nasty comment to me, "I have 10 kids to watch. If you want that type of care you need to hire a nanny!!!!" I guess it is too much to ask these teachers to feed your child as you state and keep them from getting injured. I questioned Amanda on not feeding her as I stated last week. She said to me, "Your child does not eat for me!" So, she let her go hungry and did not communicate with me?!? I sincerely hope this helps others who are looking at this daycare and I hope it will protect other children. I am sorry for the good people at this place who care about children. The bad ones are ruining it for them. The owner has reached out And threatened me With a lawsuit for reporting these violations to the state.

Addition context after Goddard's response:…read more After our initial review and Goddard's administrators political non speak response, our son is thriving in public school and all his teachers love him and say while he's high energy it's their job to channel that energy. We have also found out after a few months of school, that other parents that sent their kids to Goddard were targeted for early pick up as well. The facility doesn't care for every student, they only care for the students that fit their own mold and if you don't fit their mold, they will trash talk you and your parenting behind your back. We have now heard at least four other families that have endured the same disrespect from Goddard. Be warned.
