    I have never met a more kind staff and owner. We needed short term daycare for our son and Tina…read morewas willing to make that happen. She accommodated our schedules and made us feel as if Hudson would be coming forever. The staff in his infant room made me feel at ease and welcomed him. They send you pictures throughout the day and you get a report at the end of the day. I am so happy I found Goddard, if even just for a short time!

    When I was looking for day care for my infant, I was frustrated that I couldn't find any…read morecomprehensive reviews on local centers by real parents. So, here's me paying it forward for other busy parents who want to search for daycare: Cost: We consistently paid around $1350-1525 depending on which room our child was in. He started in infant and moved up to toddler. Pros: - Wonderful teachers. Most have degrees, and all of them clearly love children. They seem happy as employees, which is great. - Director on site is the owner. You can tell she really cares about her staff, the kids, and the families. She's extremely accommodating - we changed our schedules multiple times and she was able to help us each time. - Easily the cleanest, most updated site that we visited. - Our son loved it there! - They are great at transitioning children out of the infant room to toddler room to make the kids feel really comfortable. - Great communication with parents: they send multiple photos a day through e-mail, and keep great records of what went on each day with your child. They let you know when he hits milestones and is progressing with new skills. - Great outdoor area - Fun events (bouncy house, fire trucks coming on site, etc) - The hours are great, and extend until 6pm. - Automatic tuition withdraw is a nice option Cons: - Cost. We toured a few places, and it was the most expensive in the area, and included the least amount of "extras." - you have to bring your own bibs, sippy cups, and breakfast. For the price of tuition, I was always frustrated that I had so much work to do to get him ready for daycare in the morning. - constant messy clothes. I wish they'd invest in better art bibs/smocks, and I wish they'd provide bibs for meal time. If i forgot to send one, I knew for sure he would come home in a new outfit. - Food costs extra (about $60/month for two snacks and lunch each day) and doesn't include breakfast. - Some of the food was unimpressive at times (bread and butter for snack?), not organic, lots of breaded chicken dishes, etc Overall: the price was worth it for us, especially when he was an infant. We were really confident in the care he got, and he learned so much. We loved all of the art projects he brought home, and the communication they had with families.

    My son is in his second year at NCH and we have been so happy with this program. The units are so…read moreinteresting; continents, ocean, space, dinosaurs, book authors - our son has blossomed through these learnings. The teachers have nurtured him and helped us with some constructive feedback to prepare our very shy son for kindergarten. We love sign language and music every weds! The teachers are big on parent involvement (but it's not required) and I have loved volunteering in the classroom, it is just so much fun! We just attended the holiday 'peace party' and our 4 year has been walking around our house all weekend singing, "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. . . ". It's a heartwarming and loving place and I would highly recommend it to anyone!!

    My husband and I looked at quite a few preschool programs to find one that would be a good fit for…read moreour son, and we are so fortunate to have found NCH! We chose this program because of the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the well-thought-out curriculum. Our son just finished his second year at NCH, and he has grown so much as a result of his experiences there. The director, Alison Hennen, draws on a variety of early educational philosophies (including Montessori) to create a curriculum that is both fun and educational, and the teachers are well-versed in child development. It's clear that they care a great deal about the children they teach, and they were always incredibly kind and patient with our son. We feel that NCH has given him the best possible preparation for kindergarten, and we can't wait for our daughter to attend the program when she reaches preschool age!
