I was there when covid started, but, even pre covid there was little to NO instruction. We were given a book and told to work online and complete the assignments each week. I expected this but I was hoping the 3 hours spent in class once a week would be review, lecture anything helpful. It ended up being maybe 20 minutes of the teacher reading a paper we all had in front of us and then 2.5 hours of talking to one another and passing time or self study in a classroom instead of home. We were shown simple clinical things but never in depth and honestly, explained VERY poorly and most of us learned more through YouTube. Save your money. If you are looking for a totally online self taught course, this is it but, expect to waste your time in a classroom each week with no instruction.

Do not waste your 1000+ dollars here for the Phlebotomy program. You will not get hired anywhere…read morebecause they do not have an externship at a hospital or unless you have prior medical experience or a degree behind you!!!! This was basically a self-learn class where you study at home then come to class to poke other students with needles then leave with bruised arms and hands. We used EXPIRED NEEDLES and EVACUATED TEST TUBES 99% of the time! Students were also in a classroom WITHOUT A SINK TO WASH YOUR HANDS! Hand sanitizer was everyone's best friend. They don't even have a restroom for students in their side of the building so all the students had to walk across the building to use it. We also were not allowed to keep practicing sticks past a cutoff date in our program because they would run out of supplies for the next phlebotomy class this year! They use McGraw Hill textbooks/online homework. Basically, everything was open note so you will definitely not fail this class even if you tried to flunk it. The text book will also contradict NHA standards and guidelines so you will be left confused about almost everything right before you test for your cert. You will also get your certification through the NHA website but you have to pay 120 dollars for the certification test out of pocket because it wasn't included in your tuition as well. I started my program at the VB location at the beginning of March through mid-April of this year 2019 and I have been turned down from all plasma/blood donation centers, hospitals, even at dialysis centers. GO TO TCC its legit with an externship, do not mind the price if you want a job! The only reason why I went here was because of the price of the course. It was significantly cheaper than others and you definitely can tell how cheap it was. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! Don't make the same mistake as me! Get your deposit back before class starts.

I am disappointed with how this daycare/school handled my child's potty accident…read more I fully understand that we have responsibility as parents to provide extra clothes, and I can acknowledge that we should have had backup clothes available. That part is on us. However, young children have accidents, especially when they are adjusting to a new environment, and I was shocked by how the situation was handled. I received a call telling me that my child had an accident and that I needed to bring shorts or pants because they were currently only in their shirt. I was also told that if I could not bring clothes, my child would remain without pants. That is the part I cannot accept. A childcare facility should still have a basic contingency plan for situations like this. No child should be left exposed, embarrassed, or without proper clothing because there are no backup options available. Even when a parent forgets something, the child's dignity and comfort should remain the priority. What makes this even more concerning is that since starting at this school, my child's confidence and self-esteem seem to have changed. They have started saying things like, "I don't use my listening ears. I never do," and "I'm a bad kid." As a parent, that is heartbreaking to hear. Children should be corrected and redirected with patience and care, not in a way that makes them internalize shame or feel like they are bad. A potty accident should be handled privately, calmly, and respectfully. It should never become something that adds to a child's embarrassment or affects how they see themselves. As a parent, it was incredibly stressful to receive that call and feel like my child's dignity was not being protected. I hope the school reviews its policy on potty accidents, backup clothing, and how children are spoken to when they are struggling or adjusting.

Very sketchy place. They don't have a lot of staff who are actually experts in Early Childhood…read moreEducation. Mrs. Valentina has a bachelors in linguistics and is the Lead Teacher? I find that odd and weird. All this money this daycare wants you to pay yet it is troubling that someone in such a critical early education role does not hold a degree in Early Childhood Education. The Goddard School is not simply a time for play--it is a foundational academic daycare that supports essential cognitive, social, and emotional development. Educators in this space should have specialized training in early childhood development, instructional strategies for young learners, and knowledge of age-appropriate curriculum standards. A degree in Linguistics, while valuable, does not provide the pedagogical framework or developmental understanding required to teach effectively at this level. This situation raises concerns about the standards being upheld in early learning environments. Recognizing someone as "Teacher of the Year" who lacks a degree in Early Childhood Education not only undermines the value of that credential but also sends the message that passion alone qualifies one to lead a classroom. Passion is important--but it must be paired with relevant, formal education to ensure children receive the quality instruction they deserve.

Our son was born just before the Covid pandemic started in 2020, this left us with a lack of…read moreoptions for childcare and also a big sense of unease about sending our baby to daycare/preschool. It took me almost a year to build up the courage to send him and in the summer of 2021 he started at Goddard. Now it's the summer of 2022 and both of our children attend Goddard. Our son is a little timid in large groups and likes to play independently, in each class his "style" has been respected. We get regular updates on his days and when a little extra attention is needed from us, his teachers have been gracious enough to help us reinforce positive behaviors at home. He loves his school and his teachers, every day he has a "great day" (his words). Navigating school and childcare in the post-pandemic has not been easy but we are always thankful and appreciative of the communication and cautiousness that Goddard places on the safety of the students and teachers. I would encourage any family looking for daycare/preschool to explore Goddard!
