This is a great, caring place! I switched daycares as I had the kiddo at an employee sponsored one…read moreand wanted one closer to home and did not want to continue working two jobs. Even though I liked where she was originally at, within just a few short days I noticed how much happier she is at Sharon Academy. I think the teachers really work with the kids. No matter when I drop by to get her, each teacher/caregiver is playing or working with a child. I never happen by people just chatting away while the kids cry or which I have seen at many other centers as I interviewed many. They play pretty hard when outside, so dirty clothes (although not fun to clean) tell me that she got some fresh air and played in somewhere besides just the classroom. They make crafts and do specialized learning projects it seems almost every day and the kids really are engaged. Whenever you have someone else care for your kiddo, you will never think they are perfect as you feel you should be there instead. However they are pretty fabulous and I actually feel like my daughter would be missing a lot of learning and playing opportunities if she was not there and at home instead. It is obvious how much the owners of this place care, I see them everyday helping and supporting the staff. The staff has great educational backgrounds, and when I bring my daughter home (she is only almost 15 months now) I am amazed at some of the things she has learned throughout the day like when she makes signs to songs or has learned a little dance or words, etc. GREAT PLACE which means very long wait list so get in early and you will not be disappointed. It is pricey but so is everywhere in Charlotte for quality care.

My experience at the Goddard School of Waxhaw has been a positive experience. I feel the teachers…read moretruly provide a loving, safe, and fun environment for their students. The Goddard School of Waxhaw undoubtedly makes their best effort to care for all children by providing them with everything they could need while in the schools care. The staff adapts to the children's individual personalities and needs daily in all classrooms. The classrooms have a curriculum style that encourages students to learn and have fun while doing so!

If I could give Zero stars, I'd happily do it, but let me delve deeper into the infuriating ordeal…read moremy grandson endured at Goddard School in Waxhaw--it was nothing short of a living nightmare. Picture this: my innocent three-year-old acting out in class for weeks on end. And what insightful solution does the school offer? Suppression clothes and a suggestion for a professional evaluation. Fair enough, we were contemplating those options. But then, out of the blue, they drop the bombshell--kicking him out on a Friday evening, no less, at the ungodly hour of 6 PM! Can you even fathom the recklessness of such a decision? It left us in an absolute frenzy, scrambling to find last-minute childcare while also threatening the stability of a newly acquired job. When I chose to confront them about their callousness and request a copy of my grandson's file, what did I get? Disrespected and dismissed, with Sherrie having the gall to slam the phone down on me! Let me make it abundantly clear: my grandson has been a part of the Goddard family since he was barely old enough to walk. And yet, after just a solitary month of behavioral struggles, they cast him aside like he means nothing! The audacity of their actions is beyond belief! I'll be honest, as the only African-American male in his class, when I suggested the importance of building his confidence and strengths to prevent him from feeling isolated, I was unfairly labeled as a racist. Despite our request for him to be moved to a more challenging environment being denied, we persisted, determined not to see him left behind. Initially, we thought the Goddard program, being a 5-star school, would be an excellent fit. But in Waxhaw, it's clear it's not suitable for everyone. The resistance we faced in advocating for our child's needs highlighted a troubling lack of inclusivity and understanding. I would not recommend this school at all it you don't want to play the popularity game and buy into these dynamics in order for you child to have equal access to opportunities for advancement DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD at this school.

I really feel like the staff care about my child and want to help them to develop good habits. My child has learned rapidly - colors, numbers- emotional awareness- since attending the last few months, and this is much different than other programs we were in elsewhere. We are currently in a half day program while waiting for an opening in a full day classroom and so far it is very well worth the wait! If full day services are vital for your family, I strongly suggest getting on the waitlist well in advance.

Over the years, our kids have been cared for by so many wonderful teachers who genuinely love and support the children in their classrooms. The staff has always been communicative, caring, and invested in helping each child grow academically, socially, and emotionally. One of the things we appreciate most is the consistency. From the baby room through the pre-K and kindergarten years, we've always felt confident that our children were safe, happy, and learning every day. The relationships they built with their teachers and friends have been incredibly meaningful. As working parents, having a daycare we can trust has been invaluable. We are grateful for the care, guidance, and memories our family has experienced here, and we would absolutely recommend this center to other families looking for a nurturing and reliable place for their children.
