My oldest son is 9-years-old and autistic; he struggles with communication. Kj, my oldest, has bloomed since Greg started working with him. Not only has Greg helped Kj with playing the guitar, he has also help Kj to mainstream in general education (Kj since working with Greg, is in his grade level for music in school). I'm thrilled for my son and so thankful that Greg is a part of our journey. Greg has help Kj be able to express himself musically and it is so rewarding to watch Kj's progress! It's such a blessing to see Kj be proud of something and he is doing so well play the guitar thanks to Greg! My youngest son, Jake, is 7-years-old and also doing an amazing job playing the guitar since working with Greg also! Greg is incredibly talented in getting through to each individual and helping each of my sons with their very unique ways of learning. I believe Greg can teach anyone how to play the guitar well. Greg's studio is such a pleasant place to be, clean and calming. He provides a welcoming environment for his students to learn in. Thank you Greg for sharing your talents!

Whitney's lessons are always packed with material and instruction keeping Sophie feeling busy, while making me feel like we are definitely getting our money's worth.

I cannot say how much we love Bright Horizons in Centerpoint. My daughter is always happy when we go to pick her up, we get great pictures and updates from the staff and she really likes everyone there (as a shy toddler, it's hard for her to like anyone). Sadly due to Coronavirus, the center is closed, and I wish I could send my daughter back, but, my work schedule is now more than 12 hours each day, making it impossible for pickup and dropoff. I will be returning once businesses open up again, and I am sure my daughter will love going back to regular classes.

We will be putting our 2nd child in here in a few years! Shout out to all of his awesome teachers too! Our son absolutely loved Miss Elise, Miss Catherine, & Miss Brynn! Seriously cannot recommend this place enough. Price-wise it is comparable to other schools, all are pretty expensive. But we tried a cheaper one and it did not go well.

I don't typically write long reviews and only after I wrote this did I realize how long it was. But as a Working parent with kids and I must use childcare. I hope this review helps someone else like me. We enrolled our first at Goddard Kent during COVID through the fluctuations that are life, they have remained a constant support and reliable resource for our family--it only made sense to enroll our daughter when she was born. It's hard to find people you trust with your kids. It's also hard to find people that are reliable. We have found both at Goddard. We have found teachers that genuinely love and care about our kids such as Ms. Marisol, Ms. Lakshmi, Ms. Dani, Ms. Erika, Ms. Jenny, Ms. Kalen, Ms. Veedy, Ms. Summer, Ms. Zulema, Ms. Summer, and Ms. Taraji, the list goes on. We have also really been impressed with the management, the owner Ms. Chelsea has a masters in early childhood development and she is incredibly passionate and invested in the work she is doing. The Director Ms. Jenn, I simply have no words--she is incredible. She shows up and gives 110% everyday. She truly recognizes, respects, and values the impact her work has on shaping this next generation of children. Ms. Dasha, is the brains behind the fun, She will help everyone and anyone, and our kids are obsessed with her. Ms. Jatinder is an invaluable resource supporting the teachers. Childcare is a difficult industry with lots of turnover. It's inevitable. But the thing about Goddard is that Because the owner and the management care, it means they hire teachers who also care. There's a reason why they call them teachers at Goddard And not babysitters. Note, check out Miss Erika in preschool 1 and her hand-painted poster of Pete The Cat-- or any other number of times I have witnessed the teachers that have gone above and beyond. For example, There was a friend that was particularly disruptive in one of our kids classrooms-- it was undeniably frustrating as a parent in the moment, However, in hindsight the way that management partnered with the child's parents in that situation with the support of the teacher To advocate for this kid to receive the resources he needed really showed me how much they care. That child was advocated for and supported. Along with all the other children in that classroom. That's my $.02.
