Daycares (schools) are some of the least reviewed on Yelp... but to me, some of the most important…read moreplaces! If you're like me, you do your research when looking for child care for your baby and I hope that I can add some value to that searching mama or dad! We recently moved from Chicago and had an amazing school for our little boy. It was one of the harder parts of leaving, knowing we had to take him away from there. Fortunately enough, we found Ms Amy and Ms Emily at Goddard of Carmel ( Westfield). We looked into a lot of schools in the area and felt this was the most like his other, but also felt the warmth when you enter the school. The school is full of vibrant colors and children's artwork, and all the staff says hello as you walk the halls. We've now been there for 2.5 months and I still feel like we've made the right choice. My son loves his teacher, Ms Sara, and she has truly made his transition so smooth. If there is ever a day that he just needs a little extra love, she's the first to pick him up and snuggle or chat with him. I can tell by her interactions, hellos and goodbyes, with the children, that she truly cares for them. Of course, there is the curriculum side as well that you're likely interested in, if you're looking into a Goddard. My son has learned so much in the short 2.5 months he's been there. He has a new song, new words, putting sentences together, asking real questions, almost every day! They have so much outside play as well! I'm slightly concerned about the winter and how much outside time they will get to burn off the energy, his past school had an indoor gym- I think we'll miss that part a little! We really do love the school and my son does too! I'd absolutely recommend it and plan to update this in the future when/if we should ever leave!

My son was in the 4s room for the whole school year. By the time we were ready to leave for…read moreKindergarten he could read level 1 books and write. He was able to count to 100, memorize the 50 states, memorize and spell all the planets, share, and he learned to sit still for longer periods of time like for story time. He got sick much less often than other preschools we tried. Everyone was friendly all the time. My son said his teachers were always happy. When we ever had questions or concerns we were met with a happy director and assistant director who would bend over backwards to be sure our needs were met. We had the same teacher the whole time. Ms. Megan. She is great!!!

Great school, safe environment. My daughter started 5th grade last year. The social environment is…read morejust okay. I feel as if No Bullying should be enforced more because my daughter has commented on bullying in the school many times. There is only a bullying assembly once every couple of years and I feel as if there should be at least one a year. My daughter was excited to play in the orchestra last year but 5th graders can't, only sixth grade and up. That should be changed. Other than that, Great school, good education, and good teachers.

I had the worst hot dog ever here! I asked if it was beef and they said it was all meat. Cost was $…read more2.50 and wish I could have got my money back, also popcorn did not taste fresh. The lady at concessions was rushing us so it wasn't great customer service. They sell slushes in 2 flavors, red and blue, for $2. I tried the red flavor and it was refreshing, icy and liquidy, just the way I like it, not dry. For $3.50, the pretzel was soft, the cheese had a good texture and taste, and the size was perfect (not overwhelming). It was worth it. Another thing that's good at this concession is the Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies. You get 2 for $1.50, and they are decadent mmm. Pizza is pretty basic and not worth it. The school is easy to find with a clear athletic entrance. Cash and card is accepted for the entrance fee, card is a little more around $8. The gym is large in size, lots of parking but got really packed during the sectional games and was hard to find a parking a spot. Upstairs bleachers has two large fans, we sat up there for a game, and the air from the fan really bothered me, caused my eyes to water badly, I was annoyed.
