Rather than give excuses and come up with a lie, I would appreciate if Little sunshine playhouse can acknowledge their mistake and work with that individual staff member to make sure that never happens again and use this incident as a reminder for all other staff members that no staff should be kissing any infants or children. I can guarantee you that NO PARENTS would be ok with this kind of behavior.

On top of that knowing child is eating food made by their in House chef gives me peace of mind that she is eating well and I don't have to pack food to boot! Highly recommend this daycare

She can read (at 5!) and we attribute that to her teachers and the curriculum at Primrose without a doubt. Our son is 3 and still says hi to every teacher he's had since he was an infant when he sees them in the halls. I remember how hard it was to pick a school when I was pregnant, thinking about dropping off my tiny baby at 12 weeks old. But Primrose, the teachers and the staff all the way to Ms. Irene who makes them the most delicious snacks and meals, is truly a family. We feel like we have teammates in raising our kids and are so grateful.

We love the teachers who you can tell care so deeply about the children and the environment they create for them. We also love that both classrooms spend a lot of time outdoors in the yard--our kids talk a lot about the garden they tend to and the flowers, vegetables, and fruits they grow there. The school is an authentic Montessori program--the teachers are highly trained and skilled and the curriculum is planned and purposeful. Unfortunately, any school can throw the word Montessori into the title and that doesn't mean they implement an authentic program, but rest assured, this school does. Our kids are thriving! Since starting here, our two littles are excited to learn, have become increasingly independent and take more initiative and are more cooperative with each other and other children. We highly recommend this school!

My 14-month-old daughter used to attend Goddard School Erie at Vista Ridge. She was often crying at…read morepick up and shaking her head 'no' and crying at drop off with the teacher. This was very uncharacteristic of her. One Monday, at pick up my daughter was the only child left and I found her in a corner by herself crying. I was unable to settle her or get her to stop crying until after we got home that night. The teacher told me that my daughter was isolated like that after the other children had been picked up to work on 'regulating her emotions' (at just over a year old?). On Wednesday that week, when I picked her up, she was hysterical (again, this is very unlike her at home or in previous daycare). There was another child still in the class and a second teacher present this time. When I went to lift her up, the teacher told me that my daughter's hair was wet because "she needed to be spritzed a couple of times to help her regulate her emotions when she would not stop crying." I then noticed that her hair was soaked. I looked at the teacher in shock and she pointed at the wall where several spray bottles were hanging up and she stated that "some kids actually like being sprayed." I left immediately to gather myself and calm my child. I then emailed the director and requested an immediate meeting. We requested that a letter be sent to families of other children that could have also been treated this way by their teacher. Since a letter has yet to come out, and may never, I feel responsible to share our story with others. This is especially important since children in these classrooms aren't yet able to communicate these things with us. Ultimately, we lost trust in the school. Felt like there is a big miss here in terms of teacher education and general oversight in the classrooms. We pulled our daughter out. She has since joined a new daycare and is thriving. I am hopeful that the state licensing agency can help the school to reach the standard of other Goddard schools that we have previously known and loved.
