Our first child was enrolled here from approximately June 2022 to June 2023. We ultimately withdrew…read morehim because he came home with four bites in one single day. We were not notified of the incident at the time that it happened. Rather, my wife was told that there was an incident report when she went to pick up our child that day. She was simply told that our child was "bit." We assumed this meant just once. (He had been bitten once in the past). Later that day, my wife was astonished to find four separate and deep bite marks on him. I am posting pictures with this review. When we asked his teacher what happened, she claimed that the children were lining up to go outside and another child bit him. This made no sense. Surely the teacher would have noticed my child crying in pain after bite 1 or 2 (or even 3) in order to intervene and stop the remaining bites had anyone been paying any attention to my child. The next day, I went into the office of the director, Laura Licea, to bring the matter to her attention. Astonishingly, she did not seem to know what happened. I told her about my discussion with the teacher and told her that I could only conclude that my child was not being watched if he was bit four times in one day. Laura claimed she would investigate the matter to learn what happened. I saw her numerous times over the next two weeks, and she pretended like nothing ever happened and never followed up with me. Our child only remained there over the next two weeks or so because we were looking for a new daycare to transition him to. Once we found one, we withdrew him sometime in June 2023. On or around June 13, 2023, I received a call from Sarah Odell with Little Sunshine's corporate office. Sarah was inquiring as to why we were withdrawing our son from Little Sunshine's. I asked her if she was aware of the bites. She stated that she was not. I then informed her what happened and sent her photos of the bites at her request. I was candid with her that we were withdrawing our child regardless of what happened, but that I would appreciate someone following up with me as to how my child was permitted to be bitten four times in one day. Sarah was adamant she would get in touch with Laura and follow up with me; she never did. The only conclusion that I can draw is that this place is ran horribly both on the local and corporate level. Ever since we withdrew our child, I have regretted not posting this review. I am doing so now after reading a news article on 11alive.com, dated January 15, 2025, which reports that a toddler at Little Sunshine's has died after choking on a piece of fruit in the daycare. I can't help but think, had I posted this review at the time the events happened to my child then maybe I could have dissuaded at least some parents from enrolling their children into this daycare, and quite possibly the parents of this poor child. I express my sincere condolences to that family.

We adore Ms. Tugba, who has been taking great care of her since the infant class and who she is very attached to.

I would strongly discourage anyone from sending their child to Sunbrook Academy. I apologize for…read morethe long review but want other parents to be warned and understand our experience so that they can make an informed decision about where they send their children, especially infants. While our son only attended the school for a total of 8 hours, it has been nothing but less than favorable interactions from the initial drop off. When my husband and I arrived to drop our son off, the assistant director was on what sounded like a personal telephone call discussing another parent complaining about her. After waiting there for 5 minutes, she got off the phone, and did not know who we were or why we were there. We explained it was our son's first day and we were there to drop off. She walked us to our son's classroom where we met his teacher. Walking into the room, there was a single teacher getting bottles ready while 5 infants sat on the other side of the gate area, several of which were whining/crying. Most of the lights were off and the room is crowded and dark. The teacher said hello to me and my husband and asked me about our son's feeding/sleeping routine. We asked if we could help set him up in the room, which they allowed. At no point during this interaction did anyone say hello or welcome our son. We ultimately left him in the room playing with toys while the teacher continued to get the other children their food. Not once did we see her, or anyone, acknowledge our son before leaving. It was so discomforting that both my husband and I considered walking back into the room and taking our son home right then. I reported this to the director that morning around 10:00am. She apologized for the experience, explained it was an off morning and that she would talk with the assistant director as well as the teacher. When we picked up our son at 11:30am, he was exhausted, and had clearly been crying a lot. Upon our son's return to school, the second drop off was better. The following week, our son attended his third and final day at school. When I returned to pick up my son, the school director, Michelle, was also in the room and the teacher was holding my son sleeping. They informed me that my son had hurt himself while crawling, resulting in a bloody lip and scratched nose. On my car ride home, I called the school and asked to speak with Michelle director about what had occurred so that I could understand better. Beth, the assistant director, explained that Michelle was on a tour so I asked that she give me a call back after the tour. After two days and five telephone calls/voicemails, I finally was able to get in touch with the school director. At no point did anyone return my phone call or call to see why my son was absent after an incident at the school. The incident itself was not an issue, as I know babies will get hurt as they learn to crawl and walk but it was how the school handled things following the incident that was the problem. Sunbrook Academy advertises itself as a safe and nurturing place for your baby to receive loving care and learning experiences. The Infant Care Program is committed to making the first transition away from home natural and easy for both child and parent. Our experience was anything but that. After several weeks of back and forth with the regional director or Cadence, I was finally able to review the video of the incident involving my son. It was as described but the whole ordeal left me very disappointed in the school and how they care for children. I unfortunately have heard more horror stories about this school over the last few weeks and had I known any of this prior to enrolling our son, I would never have let him attend this school.

Our daughter started daycare at 14 months and, like many little ones, needed a few days to adjust--but after that, she truly thrived.

The entire team is kind, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the kids. A special thank you to Ms. Mia--she is amazing. So kind, energetic, and attentive. My daughter lights up with the biggest smile every time she sees her, which says everything.

It was so…read morehard for me to drop my first born off with strangers at such a young age, but from the beginning Goddard has been nothing but kind and loving towards him. As a teacher myself, I appreciate the emphasis they put on education, as he has learned more than I could have ever imagined. The entire staff is constantly going above and beyond each and every week to make learning a BLAST. It is super apparent that creating a fun learning environment is a high priority. A few other things to note is their top notch communication efforts. We are always in the know about every thing! As well as the diversity, which can be hard to find in this area. I love that my son gets to celebrate our traditions while also learning about cultures different than his. Lastly, my son is HIGH ENERGY and can be a lot at times. The entire staff at Goddard has never once made us feel like he is a burden, in fact quite the opposite. They have always welcomed his energy with open arms and big smiles, which is huge for me! I love seeing him so happy to run into school every day! Thank you to everyone at Goddard Winward for taking such good care of our kiddo!

I toured and signed up for a 4 day spot at the Goddard School (Windward Pkwy). I was required to…read morepay a deposit fee plus an entire month's tuition up front to secure my spot ($1700 total). 24 hours later I received a message from the school I was on a waitlist for that a 5 day spot was now available, which is what we really needed. I explained to Goddard management that the other school was 5 min from my house, less expensive, and most importantly had a 5 day spot available. I asked if I could at least get some of my money back given the circumstances. They refused to give me back ANY of the $1700 deposit despite the fact that they only had it for less than 48 business hours. My child never even visited the school. They claimed that I could have taken a spot from someone else. I paid them Thursday afternoon and informed them Monday morning about my change of plans. If someone visited Friday who wanted that spot, am I really supposed to believe they couldn't have contacted them immediately on Monday to let them know about an opening? I reached out again and was told they never filled the spot. So if you couldn't fill that spot anyway, why couldn't I get even half of my money back? It's not like we took someone else's spot (according to them anyway). The school we ended up joining didn't require any deposit to secure my spot, and the owner purposely enrolls less students than the GA requirement to provide a better and more nurturing environment. My son has about 13 kids in his class vs. the 20+ children in the Goddard class. It's clear that the owner is all about money and posting on social media. I am so happy we found a better place for my child.

We recently withdrew our 3-year-old from The Goddard School in Crabapple after a very concerning…read moreexperience with communication. On March 16, we received an email stating that our son had been experiencing significant behavioral challenges "over the past several months," including safety and hygiene concerns, and that we should seek an alternative placement. This was the first time we had ever been informed of concerns of this magnitude. If a school truly believes a child is struggling behaviorally or may need additional support, parents should be informed early and consistently, not for the first time in a single email recommending removal. After requesting documentation multiple times, the school was only able to provide one minor incident report (throwing a toy) and routine app logs, with no formal records reflecting the ongoing pattern of serious concerns that had been described. We fully understand that not every classroom is the right fit for every child. However, if there were genuine concerns regarding our child's behavior or development, those should have been clearly communicated and documented well before recommending that he leave the program. The lack of communication, documentation, and partnership with parents in this situation was extremely disappointing. We have since moved our son to another daycare where communication has been much more proactive and collaborative.

They use the Tadpoles app to keep us up to date with our kids via pictures and notes along with daily reports. They are so awesome and accommodating. My son graduated and started school and the only bad thing was that he was so far advanced than any other kids in kindergarten, he got bored in school. Now he is in first grade and reads at a 4th grade level and top of the class...I know this is because of the Stepping Stones foundation he got.
