Save yourself headaches, heartache, money, time and just skip this daycare, there are plenty of better options around. If you have no other option at least get on another daycare's waitlist. It seems like the only thing keeping this center afloat are the teachers. Most of the teachers are great and truly care about your little one. They are the reason our family enjoyed our time there, but it seems like they desire more resources or help than the daycare will provide. At some point you might run into issues with the office staff as mentioned in other reviews. I'm not sure they even want to be in childcare - they barely show any excitement for the kids. The office staff (owner and kids) don't seem to be around to assist with classroom challenges. If your child is energetic and is deemed to have "bad behavior" you could have issues. We had our schedule shortened for one child, and then our child care terminated by email on a weekend, for BOTH of our children, without previous notice. The focus of day care should just be on giving the best care possible to your kids, but I didn't see that from the owners. I didn't see any passion, interest, or commitment for caring for your children - just collecting tuition fees. We are happy to say our child is now doing much better at their new daycare. This seems to be a similar experience when reading other families' reviews of this school. The office is far from family and working parent friendly. They recently raised tuition, cut hours, cut lunch, and implemented a $5 penalty for every one minute you're in the building after 5pm. We recommend reviewing these terms compared to other daycare options. This is disappointing to write because our start here was pleasant. We can't tell if the center has just declined in quality because the office is checked out...or we didn't notice these issues until our child grew older. We could write more on our experience but they'll come back saying we're just a disgruntled family - we're not. We just want to warn others of this place, as we wish we knew before. Wishing the teachers here the best, as they also deserve better.

First…read moreimpressions of the school and church staff is that they are kind and caring of the students and of each other. Teachers have lots of experience. A new principal and several new teachers have joined the school this year. Lots of up campus field trips are planned. An all-school musical/play is done at the end of each school year. Kids can start extra-curricular activities at 4th grade. Piano lessons are offered starting at age 4. Affordable before and after daycare is available before 8am and after 3pm. Both pastors seem courteous and respectful although we don't know them that well. The new school building is truly a warm and wonderful place with top notch classrooms, a beautiful gym and lunch area. A digital white board in the kindergarten room shows a move toward technology-assisted learning. Holy Cross PTO is working provide additional technology in all classrooms for the future. We are happy to be part of this church school this fall. Having worked and been active in a number of churches I can assure all that no church is perfect.

Holy Cross Lutheran Church has been deeply rooted in the Madison community for over 90 years. They offer early childhood as well as grade school education through 8th grade.

Although they have superb teachers and curriculum, the Christian principals and foundation developed there is the true value to our family. Our grandchild now attends.

My two year old opened a book of shapes the other day and read it to me front to back (even…read moreoctagon!). We did not realize how many shapes he knew, and this is a direct testament to how amazing the teachers are at Goddard. The bar was pretty low for us when we started; we were hoping to find a new daycare that would minimally change a diaper more than twice a day. And we have gotten so much more!! I saw one teacher cry tears of joy because her student was graduating to the next level; that's how much she cared about her kids. The first time my son pooped on the potty, every single teacher at pickup (and the director!!) told me how they celebrated with him! I'm so grateful for the amazing curriculum and the caring staff. This is the village we didn't know we needed, and I'm grateful for everything they provide.

Her teacher is the sweetest and always greets you with a smile. I have worked at this school since December of 2021 and they have been incredible to me as an employer. Not only did they allow me the medical leave I needed at short notice, but they accepted me back after 2 months with open arms. They are some of the kindest and most understanding people I've ever met and I love working here! We're like a family. Not only do they treat their staff well but we have some of the best staff and teachers for the children. We love all of our kids and they love us!

I wasn't sure if all clubs were included in the nationwide access. Fortunately, I was able to visit this club with my current membership. Kathryn was the staff at the front and was very friendly and knowledgeable. She informed me of what qualifies and not. From what I remember as long as there isn't a third party payer involved with your payment, your adult membership should be included in nationwide access - with exception of some individual clubs. I was able to join step class and had fun with Bonnie and her crew. Fast and efficient! Got a workout in while on vacation and I couldn't be happier.

When I asked why, they clipped a piece of my "terms" that I agreed to - granted, without reading, that said I had to pay for 3 months additional should I decide to cancel. I asked them to cancel and they said "no". For a Christian based organization, this approach seems way out of line. I would not recommend this place to anyone, They are fine when you sign up but good luck getting out of the agreement, I've had to contact my attorney. They are not cool by any means.
