My son attended this Goddard School for over a year, but he has moved to a different school…read more Overall, while there are some good individual teachers at this school, the administration is a nightmare. The owner, in particular, seems to prioritize money over the best interests of the kids. The lack of professionalism from the owner and the administrative staff is a real issue--many months they wouldn't even have basic things like calendars available, or their communications would be inconsistent. One time they sent out an email about having a "desert bar" ... and had it spelled that way multiple times, so it wasn't just a typo. Is that who you want responsible for educating your child? Aside from all that, our son was diagnosed with some speech and socialization delays during his time at this school and entered Early Intervention. Both of his EI teachers visited his school and told us for his personal needs and learning challenges, the environment at this school wasn't right. Once we found a new school that felt like a better fit, we wanted to move our son right away, but the owner refused to let us leave without requiring dues to cover the full 30 days written notice, despite the fact that the enrollment agreement allows them to waive fees and let a student go if it is in their best interests (and we had a verbal conversation about it over 30 days before we left). For comparison, the school he moved to would have let him attend a few weeks for free just to help us do what was best for him. I wasn't surprised at all to see some other reviews on Greatschools.com that similarly echoed our experience--teachers are mostly good, but the owner/admin staff is not. And with the high level of staff turnover at these type of schools, you are relying on the owner to continually hire good people and hold them to a high standard. I would not trust the owner of this school to actually do that, at all. Basically, I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. If your kid is a follower and fits in to a crowd, they'd probably do fine here, but you can find better. If your kid is at all unique like mine, this school has been generally unsupportive and not helpful, especially compared to his new school where the teachers and administrative staff have really gone out of their way to figure out ways to help keep our son engaged and included (that he has really responded to).

Please take this as a constructive feedback. The reason I'm writing this review is to bring a change to this leader or Leadership. It would be really hard to stick around if we don't see any improvement in the leadership.

I thought I had that with Lightbridge in Fort Washington, but BOY WAS I MISTAKEN! The turnover is high, Jane in the front office is rude and the owners only care about getting paid the 27 of every month. I do not believe every Lightbridge Academy is like this, but I do know if I needed to do it all again, I would NEVER go back to that one. To top it off, they took money out of my account without my consent and I am yet to get it back. Please... if you are even considering the school in Fort Washington..choose wisely!

Not a safe or trustworthy place for your children…read more I am devastated that I did not write this review sooner in hopes it could have helped keep the two babies seriously injured there safe and out of this place. The teacher that is in jail for harming the babies was also my daughter's infant room teacher. Absolutely devastated for the babies and their families. Their lives will never be the same. And livid at the statement issued by the center. It is more of the same from them. My daughter was in the infant room at Oaks and early on we had concerns about the safety, unprofessional processes, and unwillingness of the Director as well as the previous or past owner to have open, honest, productive conversations about issues that came up. The Director literally said to me "Michelle, you just need to stop this and trust us". No, I will not just trust you or anyone with my infant. Our primary issues were: 1. Unsafe entrance in that anyone could walk through the doors by following others through with no checks or protocal for checking 2. No transparency when my daughter moved to the toddler room on who was changing her diapers even though this had been provided in the infant room and this became a battle with the director when it should have been an easy thing 3. Staff that was doing at least double duty as both carers and cleaners 4. A broken fence lock that was never fixed in the play area 5. My daughter always wanted to get the heck of there when I picked her up unlike the daycare that I moved her to where she sometimes doesn't want to leave for a good while after we get there 6. Some staff were very disheveled. I didn't want my daughter to think that was a normal way of being. After many attempts to be collaborative and open with the owners and the director, it was obvious that if a serious problem arose that these are not the people you'd want by your side to work through it. I left before anything serious happened. There is an incident I recall in the infant room where my daughter did have unexplained injuries while in the care of Catalina Baldwin while the other teacher was out on vacation. I thank god that it was not serious, but it could have been. The only explanation I ever got was that there was no incident at school and it probably happened at home or in her car seat. We were lucky.

Beware, this center might look great from the outside and say all the right things but is a danger…read moreto children. My child attended Oaks and had the same little girl in the three and fours that would bully her physically, emotionally and verbally. As this is shocking enough at 3/4 years old the staff allowed it. The owner Alice, director Christine and teacher Alayna did not take appropriate action to find a solution to the other child's aggressive daily behavior, toward my child and others. After me telling them numerous times for months and months this is not okay, they still did not take action. I asked to speak with the child's parents and they refused, well never Even cared to get back to me. They had ample time to correct the situation and were well aware of the child's behavior. My last straw was when I picked my daughter up and she had a scratch on her face, lips were scratched up with a huge bubble on them. No one could tell me what happened , the adults at this center asked me to ask my 4 year old what happened. This is the care they provide to young children!! Horrifying to say the least. Alice the owner labeled my daughter sensitive since she would cry at drop off and after pick up in the car. Well if someone was poking at you all day and saying nasty things wouldn't anyone be upset, Especially at four years old. The center also knew my Husband was dying of cancer and he unfortunately has passed. Per a teacher that left they would not console my daughter if she talked about her Father and was upset they would leave her by herself. Another huge wow of failure from the adults. Lastly, the teachers come and go every few weeks. Oaks had the potential to be great but failed miserably. My child was taken out by me because the other child I guess is allowed to run the show and do whatever she pleases to whoever. Isn't that a great lesson to teacher both children I'm this situation . Thankfully my child is thriving at her new school and lis safe and back to herself. Don't be fooled like I was. Oh and good luck getting a conference with your child's teacher after asking for a month it still never happened.

For six years our children have attended Jolly Tots Little School. When seeking a childcare…read morefacility we had a strong desire to find a place that focused on the development of social skills such as kindness, sharing, and personal boundaries. We desired outdoor play and the core values that shape a child's personality as the root of a school's structure. We knew that national facilities have high employment and enrollment turnover as well as canned academic curriculums that force certain skills before children are ready. Many of us who enroll our children at Jolly Tots are educators, and we see the importance of a balanced approach of social and academic development and the need for these to be age appropriate. Jolly Tots is just that!! Our children view Jolly Tots' teachers and schoolmates as family. When it's weather appropriate, the teachers highly value outdoor activities. They encourage kids being KIDS!!! They also set time aside each morning for class through fun and creative lessons. Because Jolly Tots does not deliver a rigid curriculum like the national centers, teachers are able to be flexible and implement new ideas at any time. They differentiate to meet the needs of their students because they can. My daughter, who has always been an eager learner, could read before kindergarten. Our four year old son, who does not share the same interests, prefers to keep "school" at school and we follow his lead. Sure enough out-of-the-blue this past spring he decided to show us he could write his name!!! This is something we never worked on at home with him and he was so proud to show us this achievement. If you want your child to receive age-appropriate academic lessons, develop social skills through play (especially outdoor when possible), and feel as though they are visiting family during their time there, then Jolly Tots is for you. Our children have thrived because of the teachers at Jolly Tots Little School and have made a life-long impact on who they are socially and academically. We feel incredibly fortunate!

If you are looking for something structured that really focuses on education, creativity and personal attention this is not it. The price is extremely low which was nice but the quality of service definitely suffered due to this. I did voice opinion and felt like I was listened to w hen I did so. At this point it was too late for my daughter to continue in the environment but I hope they do change things based on my feedback. My daughter was in the little school. the big school looks much calmer and looks more like a decent place for a child. Most teacher at the little school did not impress me or seem like they enjoyed their job. ( I saw most becuase a few were good with my daughter) But as far as school goes, "just OK or sufficient" is not anywhere good enough

As a parent of a child who struggles with big behaviors and emotions, I can tell you that every person here is filled with patience and kindness. I know that when I drop my kid off each day, he's safe, loved, learning, and having fun. TLE has never made him or me feel like he didn't belong-- quite the opposite - I know he's exactly where he belongs and I couldn't imagine another center that would love and teach him more. He's thriving, growing, and finding his way. Sure, he has tough days, but Jenn and the rest of the admin team, his teachers - Kirsten, Lacie and all the staff are right there beside him every day, meeting him with love. I found more than just a daycare--I found a family.

Staci, Melissa, and Lauren along with their talented teachers have been more than just a child care center for us; it has become a second family. The warmth, care, and support they provide are unparalleled. Leadership and commitment to excellence shine through in every aspect of the program. Our eldest is now in elementary school, and we are immensely grateful for the strong foundation he received at Goddard -He was more than prepared and is excelling in all subjects. The teachers and staff at The Goddard School have played a pivotal role in our children's development. Their dedication, patience, and expertise have created a safe and stimulating environment that encourages growth and exploration. It's evident that the staff genuinely care about each child's well-being and development, which has provided us with tremendous peace of mind. Amid the challenges of the COVID-19 shutdown, The Goddard School continued to show their unwavering support. When our son's birthday was right around the corner, and traditional celebrations were impossible, the Goddard teachers stepped up to the plate. They joined in our "drive-by Birthday Parade," bringing balloons, signs, and their smiles to our doorstep. This act of kindness and support during a difficult time exemplified the exceptional bond within The Goddard School community.
