The director Veronica Ruiz has been so welcoming to us and has been so supportive of our family. The "school" as we call it, has great energy within the Staff and Veronica makes us feel like family.

It's a wonderful peace of mind to know that my little one is well taken care of there while I'm at work.

The Goddard School in Sanford has been nothing short of exceptional. Priya and her staff not only…read moretake great care of the children but also care a great deal about them personally. I've also never seen an owner work harder than Priya. She is the first person I see in the morning and she is the last person I see to leave. Due to unexpected circumstances, my family had to move in the middle of the pandemic. And when I made the very tough (and scary) decision to put my 6 month old baby into daycare after months and months of working two jobs being a stay at home mom and working from home -the Goddard school exceeded every expectation. They were one of the only places that would accept her part time and when she turned a year we upgraded her to full-time. My daughter goes to school every single day and cannot wait to get there. And everyone at the school is happy to see her. If you live in this area, pick this school. Plain and simple

Our son is almost three and he's attending this daycare since he was 10 months old. There's been…read morestaff changes and leadership in that time, but throughout we've had open and clear communication with management and the teachers. Ms. Skyler is a sweet teacher for the younger kids, Ms. Jess has been a wonderful teachers when our baby was in the twos room, Ms. Kita and Ms. Naya are great at creating routines and structure in the older room. Ms. Salomie and Ms. Wanda are the sweetest and most welcoming teachers. Megan has been a shining beacon in gaining insight on what management is working on and bridging any gaps between parents and staff. The teachers are all very sweet, positive attitudes and try their best to keep children engaged and progressing. They do activities, teach children to use the potty, teach cleaning up after meals, washing hands, taking turns in play, singing and dancing. Our son, like most children I imagine, goes through tough days and good days but I think everyone there truly wants the kids to thrive and so we work as a team to communicate and keep it positive. No system is perfect but communication and live camera access are wonderful things that ensure the children are priority. We even met parents that are now friends of ours and we meet outside of school to have the kids all play. My only critique on the structure is I wish the teachers had more support on cleaning. They do a great job but I think corporate should allocate funds for raises for all staff and for a floater to come in to help tidy so we get more fun time for the kids.

**Disclaimer my child is 2** My child lost his tooth on HIS…read moreFIRST DAY. I decided to not let him go back until the next week. I have never had any issues with this ever before at his previous daycare. Well, his second day back he ended up getting a cut and a black eye basically from "falling" again. I decided to take that day off to watch the cameras to see if they were doing their jobs. I sat and sat and watched the camera. The teacher was grabbing the children(s) arms above the wrist as well as the upper arm and pulling them to sit down. I watch many times the teacher(s) not paying attention and I watched a younger child laying on the floor and then another little girl stomping as hard as she could on his hands, back, and stomach. If that were my son I would have drove down in a heartbeat. I was so excited to enroll him in this daycare however THIS location IS NOT IT. Those two days he was there my child came back home starving literally crying because he was so hungry and thirsty and every time I even drove in the parking lot he would start screaming and crying and saying no no no... I have never ever had any issues like this before. On top of that him being in there 2 days I still paid his daycare fee for the two weeks which is above 300 dollars and they did not offer any composition after stating to me that they would work with me while I got my ELC transferred. Not saying that I need it, but it would have been nice of them to accommodate due to everything that happened. Please mommy's be cautious.

The oldest one has learned so many new words, skills, and made a bunch of new friends that he sees frequently on weekends. The environment is very welcoming and child-centered, with frequent updates posts on the app for parents to feel informed about their children's day. For example, each child's profile will have photos posted showing them eating, interacting with the other children, or learning a new skill. I feel like the teachers do a great job at preparing the students for pre-k / vpk and kindergarten, and that it's worth the price of tuition.

Parents can also be involved by attending class parties, reading to the classes and volunteering. Tuition is right on par for the area and you can sign up for access to cameras to be able to see you child in their classroom during the day. There is also an APP that updates you throughout the day on how your child is doing, eating, learning, playing, etc. I would definitely recommend!

Do not recommend it! I am a single mother and I paid this school $1180/month on time never late and…read morenever had a returned check. I was willing to spend a lot because I thought this was a good school. This is not a good school. Children are always putting toys in their mouths behind each other even if one of them was sick and didn't clean them off. Put their mouth all over the windows and hardly ever cleaned. Sharing cups. When my son had a runny nose they never cleaned it unless they are going to take pictures or when they see me or my parents coming to pick them up. I spoke to the teachers multiple times about this and the director. One day my son was sitting at the table eating and when I picked him up he had dried up snot all over his face and hair, and dirt around his mouth and hands while eating. (Have pictures) Another time he was sitting at the table crying with one shoe off and snot running down in his mouth while everyone else was eating and the teachers not doing anything. When they saw me one teacher grabbed his shoe and ran over with a tissue. I asked him why is he crying and why was he walking funny. When we got home and I changed his diaper and he developed a rash that turned into a sore to where he couldn't walk, sit, or take a bath because it was burning him. It was on his inner right leg, bottom, and genitals. (Have pictures) He was completely fine when I dropped him off. No rash and no redness. The director admitted that it was not the first time it happened and she is also was blaming it on it being an understaffed issue. She hired more people. I instantly started looking for new schools. His last week he was in school for only 3 days. That week I gave them a pack of 30 pampers. I received 5 pampers back. I looked at the changing chart and it didn't add up. I started to look at how many times I bought pampers within the time he started and they have definitely been using my diapers for other children. I separated home and daycare diapers. I called about it 3 days ago and still haven't heard back. I called again and no one will pick up. He is a lot happier in another school.
