Although I don't have any children yet, I'd definitely consider The Goddard School in the future…read morefor care. I had the pleasure of working here for 4 1/2 years and could honestly say that this place is pretty top notch between the curriculum and activities that they provide. This location is in Hanover County right behind SJMS and Sherwood Apartments. The Goddard school provides child care and after school programs. Summer Camp is always fun here and your kids will learn a lot. They cater to the needs of all children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. The staff is always friendly and the owners Kathy and Steve DeNunzio will make you feel welcomed along with the wonderful teachers. I love that being an employee here meant being apart of such a great childcare facility and growing along with the school. The first building is for ages 6 weeks to pre-k and the back building (Kabanda) was for kindergarten as well as after school. There are two playgrounds one for the 2's and under and one for the big kids. Yes, it is on the pricey end of things, but quality is always a good thing. Id recommend checking out The Goddard School if you're interested in childcare.

When we came in from another child care program, we were welcomed right away and it immediately felt right. Our youngest went from crying everyday for a month at our previous provider, to smiles walking in the door every morning. Both our children have been given a bright start from the private kindergarten program. We also enjoyed speaking with the staff and we can't say this enough, they will be missed so much.

Parents beware: if you have joint legal custody with another parent and a court custody order in…read morewriting, this facility will not take that into consideration. Not only will they enroll your child with only one parent's consent and refuse to un-enroll upon receiving information that the other parent requests to not have their child attend, they will not reply to ANY emails senr to the director or corporate office for copies of any paperwork regarding your child. They also have no regard for CDC Covid-19 recommendations- there is only ONE member of a staff ever seen with a mask, and it is normally around her neck. In the morning, all children besides infants/toddlers are in ONE classroom with an incredible disregard for student:teacher ratio based on the age of the yongest child.

The daycare is disgusting just…read morebeginning there, like a good vacuum and floor stripping would do this place a lot of justice. I enrolled my son here as a last ditch effort because there was no spaces in other centers in the area. Huge mistake. The front staff here seemed friendly but I think it was a facade. The infant room, where my 10 month old was enrolled has a bunch of young girls in there who have NO idea how to take care of children. Dropping our son off my fiancé witnessed one of the staff members sighing loudly and basically saying "what do you want" to a child. A CHILD, who obviously cannot help themselves and is under your care? Really. They fabricated information on my sons daily sheet saying he was fed and changed at certain times and it was all a lie. My son came home with the same diaper he had on when I dropped him off, I know this because it was a special diaper he had on with markings. When that was brought to the front staffs attention they didn't care, one person who is not even the director the "curriculum specialist" was the only person I spoke with. The director, Nikki, didn't even have the common decency to investigate or even call me to let me know what was said to her staff about it. My son would come home extremely dehydrated from them either not feeding him or not giving him his water. I can't believe I have to even write this review and I am completely disgusted with this center as a whole. If you love and care about your child, please do not send them here.. send them somewhere they will be cared for and not neglected. I won't stop advocating for my child until the proper solution is achieved. I have been in contact with The Virginia Department of Social Services with this matter as well.

Age-appropriate curriciulum and activites, very good team of staff working together, nice facilities and huge, safe playground and many activities. Way to go Heather and team!

The kids get to learn by playing, being around other children both older and younger than them, different rooms set up for them, and the year is sort of made by the kids interest, they play outside, parents can volunteer and see how the days go, and we know all the kids and their families. It's a very safe, welcoming, and comfortable space to be. Couldn't recommend it more!

I can't say enough about how sweet these teachers are, and how respectful and kind they treat the children. The teachers send pictures so you get to see what they're doing each day. We will miss robots and mud pies, and would highly recommend it.
