He would arrive everyday to class in tears, so we knew we had to find something new for him and that's when a family friend recommended Wilkins and it was the best decision we could make. He now runs to class screaming with excitement and gives a big kiss goodbye and off and playing. He's been so happy there and I can't thank everyone enough at Wilkins for welcoming us with open arms. It's been a game changer!

It's the family owned business and that make the learning for kids so much different then other places. Your kids will love, play and learn from the friendly and caring staff around them. All teachers will make it fun and enjoying. They have options both part time and full time classroom and it's a great value and options for parents to go for. My kids still talking about what he did at Wilkins and how much the miss their teacher and those fun projects that they did until today, and that means a whole world for them! I highly recommend the Wilkins for the parents who are looking for a fun educational, great teacher and great environment.

It turned out to be the best blessing as the teachers Ms Kate, Ms Roya and Ms Seni were so incredibly kind while I was figuring out postpartum working full time mom life. The staff here are kind and they show that they care about the kitties they are taking care of. I was so so scared to leave my son with strangers, but soon, they didn't feel like strangers and more like extended family loving our little boy. We moved to another city and had to change daycares, but we loved our time with Giggle and Grow. Highly recommend for any new mom looking forward to a place to bring their littles.

They are very communicative about his needs, how much milk he's drinking, if his clothes are running low, etc. They always seem to have a new theme around different holidays and seasons to make it extra fun for the kiddos. We love Giggle and Grow!

This is NOT a good daycare. I have worked in childcare since 2016, and I worked here for 2 years. I…read morewitnessed the most disrespectful and abusive behavior towards not only staff but the children as well. I have been face to face and verbally told negative things about several parents and children coming from management and teachers. They put on a fake face for every parent that walks through the door, no matter how good their relationship to the daycare was. The children and myself were treated terrible by several teachers there and when I notified management nothing was done. My 2 year old niece, who used to attended, was being kissed on the lips by the 2 year old lead teacher, in balloon room. It was reported several times to each and every management member. The teacher was allegedly told not to do it, but it continued. My niece kept coming home with bruises in the same place, her rib cage. When her mom asked the 2s room lead teacher she couldn't even get her story straight. She claimed it was big legos, each time, but her bruises were small (a thumb sized circle bruise) and always in the same place. This happened about 3 times. Her mom or I were not notified of all her bites, bruises, or scratches. Management was notified about every incident, and their response was "we have never had a problem with this teacher", which was the same thing I, and several other staff and parents were told. The 2 rooms teacher has pulled children by their hair, clothing, and aggressively by their arms/wrists. The now 1s room teacher has called children, and their parents, abusive language names. She has also thrown big bean bags on a baby to drown out their crying. There is a floater there who is extremely condescending, and aggressive. There was an investigation with AJPD on this center, and disturbingly no charges were pressed. Management there is not true management. They disregard every incident, and do not enforce any true behavior rules on the teachers. They do not send children home sick right away, I had to tell them multiple times that a child was over the 101.1 limit, and they thought it was due to me "not cleaning my room" (WHICH I ALWAYS DID) but in reality it was due to them not sending home contagious children who were sick. The entire school has several violations to state regulations. The infant playground was unusable, and the toddler playground had multiple sharp pieces and unsafe playground equipment. They are extremely insensitive and uncaring. When asked to pick up my niece for her and I's grandfather's funeral I was sent a very long and disgusting message saying no, because I dropped her off 1 morning after leaving the center. How immature for an older lady. I am on her sign out card and emergency contact card, there was absolutely no temp/perm. injunction. So I was legally allowed, but refused to go because I knew they would start a huge ordeal. Everything written in this review is TRUE, and I do hope that you really take this and other 1 star reviews into consideration before enrolling or applying for a job at this center.

I was terrified to put my daughter In school as a first time mom. I actually couldn't handle the anxiety so I pulled her out after I was sobbing all day the first day she was gone. Well, penny and the staff were not only empathetic but made me feel comfortable doing things on my own time table. So when I decided to try again a week later I was welcomed with open arms. The quality of the teachers here feels more like a family. Everyone in the school helps each other. Miss Jazzy, Miss Caitlin, really every single teacher I have ever met has made me feel like home. They all know your child and love your child. Miss Wulan and Miss Ann Marie were her home room teachers and wow. These woman.. they don't make them like this anymore! Positive, loving, personal, engaged are only a few ways to describe them. They have been absolutely instrumental to Logan's growth and experience. She has thrived and become a social butterfly. These teachers never look tired and are always up beat. Ms Chrystal at the front desk always welcomes you with warmth and familiarity and never judged how many incident reports my daughter had. I was always met with comfort and understanding whenever I was worried about something my Daughter had done! And the school is owned and managed by Penny who is a GEM of a human being. These women are loving, smart, and are valued so much. They deserve the world and I'm so grateful to have found them. I'm forever in debt to this school and all it has done for myself and my daughter. Also, they know how much I love them and never once asked for a review. But if you are a nervous mom, or want an honest take, please ask penny for my number and I'd be happy to walk you through how they made this experience incredible.

Being a first time parent and transitioning your child from being with you 24/7 to daycare is tough, for child and parent alike. What I found incredibly helpful was the time Ms. Penny took to answer all of our questions and make us feel confident in our decision. The transition was very smooth, our little one runs to the door every time we say it's time for school. He often just runs straight into the classroom, already busy playing, a true reflection of his teachers' supportive and caring nature. He is confident and at ease, and what's been most surprising is how much his knowledge and learning continue to expand. From watching him dance with his classmates to fun tunes, to seeing him replicate that at home, or hearing him point to our eyes and ears and say the words, every day feels like he develops a new skill. His vocabulary and social skills are both continuously growing. Although leaving your child to go to work never gets easier, I have full peace of mind knowing he is in the right hands. We are constantly updated with pictures and videos from his day, along with fun events, dress-up days, learning milestones, and classroom activities. They also have an amazing backyard with real grass for the kids to run around in, and even a splash area during the summer. All in all, I couldn't recommend Goddard on East Germann enough and am endlessly grateful to Ms. Penny, his teacher Ms. Sydni and the amazing teachers who care for our son.
