I recommend to all the parents who are thinking to start their kids for the preschool.

On the first day he was sent home in a full diaper despite me providing diaper ointments and clearly stating in the enrollment forms and verbally that he has extremely sensitive skin. By the second day he came home with a severe painful diaper rash with peeling skin. I was heartbroken. When I calmly raised my concerns to the director instead of taking accountability or even expressing concern for my child's health she retaliated and removed my son from the daycare on the spot. As I was leaving she clapped her hands at me called me crazy and threatened to call the police while I was already walking off the property with my son. Her behavior was loud degrading and completely unprofessional. A 51A report has now been filed by a Worcester police officer who was also shocked by the photos of my son's condition. I have also filed complaints with the Department of Early Education and Care and will be pursuing further action with MCAD EEOC and the BBB. And this is just my experience not everyone will have the same one but I'm posting this because no one should let all the positive reviews blind them. Every year the daycare asks parents to leave reviews on Google because that's how they boost their enrollment numbers. Do your own research ask questions and trust your gut.

If a child had a deadly allergy to peanuts and 911 was not called, an epi-pen was not administered, and no actions were taken in a "life & death situation", then how would the child have survived that? There's no way something like that would happen in this school with the teachers they have there. Absolutely no way.

At Goddard School in Northborough, they have a patient, positive and encouraging approach to the children. The entire school works as a team, a well structured unit, if you will. It's very refreshing to see! I have peace of mind knowing my child is safe and well cared. In the same token my child is actively learning and enriching his mind. My only wish is enrolling my child here sooner. Thank you Dipak, Beth, Ms. Sylvia, Ms. Katie and the rest of the team for shining bright with the children! You're all amazing and wonderful child educators! Our family is forever grateful.

I feel obligated to leave a review because their 5 star rating on yelp was one of the big factors…read morein us choosing this daycare. We had a really hard, frustrating and short lived experience with this school. My son (4) joined in June '21 because we'd moved too far from the daycare he'd been at since 18months. At first sight, the school seemed like a good fit. The owner, Dipak, gave us a tour and he seemed nice. We didn't meet the teacher prior to enrolling because I'd heard such amazing things about other Goddard locations. The problems started Day 1. I called to speak with the teacher reiterate that my son shouldn't take naps, and that he needs encouragement with the potty. His teacher was incredibly rude to me. Told me that all the children nap, basically tough luck. We communicated this with the director, Beth, (who as an aside, Is a super sweet caring lady we really liked, if only everyone else there was like that), and we worked out that we would send in a little bag of toys every day to have my son play with during nap time. We don't think it worked, he was never tired at the end of the day, and more than once he told us his teacher told him not to tell us he slept. (Who knows what's true with a 4 year old but when he wouldn't even fall asleep during a car ride at 9 pm, we felt pretty confident he was napping.) Next was the TV- we asked him what his favorite part of the day was and he excitedly told us "when we watched the episode of Peep and the Big Wide World." I was shocked, I'd never heard of a school playing show for the kid. I was told it's just during transition times and said it was fine but obviously a surprise and not our preference. Then a few weeks later my son started telling us "How come you don't let me watch shows at school?" Or "Miss Ornela lets the other kids watch shows but not me." He started regressing in potty training and still to this day tells us about how mean the teachers were when he had accidents. At a pick up, my partner asked if he had an accident and in front of our son, his teacher very harshly and abruptly said "it's not an accident, this kid simply isn't potty trained." He came home one time in tears so hungry, telling me that the teacher wouldn't let him eat his snacks (he still had snacks in his lunchbox). I personally saw how the staff spoke to the children at pick up and got a weird vibe. Lots of harsh commands, short tempers, something was off. And we tried to communicate all or most of these issues with management. Beth certainly tried her best to help, but the owner never did. And nothing every changed. He only lasted the summer here before we moved him to a Montessori school in the next town. Just 2.5 weeks in, he's falling asleep at 7:30, loving going to school, has had no accidents at school, is eager to go every morning, and even had some good speech progression (his new teacher helped him finally say Fs). The saddest part for us is he keeps telling us how awesome it is that "the teachers at the new school are actually nice."

I have never written a review for any business, but this needs to be said so others are aware…read more My wife and I visited for a tour about 15 months before our child was going to require daycare. Yes, that is very early, so early in fact that we were told we would most definitely be "good to go" and to not worry about securing placement as we were well ahead of any waitlist. Nonetheless, we asked to be put on a list and were told that we would be. My wife followed up with an email about 7 months before the start-date, which received no response. Now, about 5 months before the start-date, she called and was told that there is no space available, and that this has happened to multiple families as the person responsible for this "waitlist" is now on leave and had simply "forgotten" to include those who were inquiring early, and instead booked newcomers ahead of at least 8 families (their quote!) who are now without a daycare spot they had been told they would receive. This is not a restaurant, mechanic, pet care provider, etc. There is absolutely no excuse for carelessness in this regard when families are as reliant as they are for a service like daycare and all the scheduling and pressure that come with it. I don't wish to blame the entire business, but frankly, hearing that at least 8 families are now left to scramble for a different daycare, I am fairly shocked that whoever is in charge of scheduling was allowed to handle this type of work. The failure to SIMPLY make a basic priority list and follow up with those folks is actually astonishing. It is 2024, and literally anybody in the workplace can take two minutes of time to *open a word/excel document and make a numbered list.* When it comes to where you place your small children, I think this kind of carelessness really is just a horrible look. If you are lucky enough to get in, I genuinely hope for your sake that they are more organized with current customers.
