The classrooms are clean, bright, and well-stocked with age-appropriate toys and activities. My child always comes home happy and tired from a full day of play and learning. The staff provides regular updates throughout the day, and they're always responsive to my questions and concerns. My child has learned so much during their time there.. And they make it all fun for the kids, which is a huge plus! In addition, I appreciate the healthy food options provided by the school for my child during the day. The facility ensures that my child receives well-balanced and nutritious meals. Furthermore, the daycare provides me with a photo of my child's meal after lunch, which offers transparency and insight into my child's dietary intake. Finally, safety is a top priority at Goddard Daycare. There are secure entrances and exits, and the staff is always vigilant about keeping a close eye on the children. I never have to worry about my child's safety when she is at daycare.

The staff is wonderful and has worked so hard to make the school and the programs better and better with each passing year. They are kind and clear and I've come to really enjoy seeing their smiling faces in the morning. The teachers my two sons have had have all been amazing, unique and passionate and when my children are with them, my mind is at ease. My older son - who has recently rejoined the school for "Summer Camp" with some of his buddies - did the kindergarten program last year as a Farmer with Mr. Juan and he went into his current school so well prepared in both reading and math that he was able to focus on the other huge changes that come with switching schools. I feel so lucky that my children have been able to start their educational journeys at this amazing place. Thank you!

My family has had a fantastic experience with Goddard Rockville's infant daycare (4 months in)…read more There are many days when I walk into the infant room and my little guy is belly laughing with the teachers. I love Goddard's use of the Tadpoles app where I get daily pictures and updates about sleep and activities like the babies going for a ride outside in the buggy, playing with bubbles, reading circle etc. I couldn't imagine better teachers, there are two for the six infants and there's a shift change midday. They're all extremely capable and work a lot to help develop motor skills (i.e. encourage tummy time, sitting, crawling). They care so much about the babies and clearly love their job. It's such a relief to have a safe and loving place to drop our guy off at everyday! Great care is expensive, but it's worth it for my family. Claim a spot early, we signed up about six months in advance!

As a father with a strong demeanor regarding education, I could not be happier with BMS. Now,…read morelet's be honest, your child and mine will not finish pre-school as a rocket scientist. However, he or she will learn basic math, use of a computer, a little French, self-awareness & independence, and start learning how to read and write. In fact, by age 4 most students can legibly write their name and count to 50+. This is only possible due to the loving and nurturing way each teacher engages with each student to build a desire to learn. I can't ask for anything better! My daughter is currently finishing her second year and will return to finish out her 3rd year (Kindergarten). I also intend to send my son once he is old enough for pre-school. Also, the after school care is run by an incredible group of educators that have a tender heart for children, and the school provides "extra classes" ranging from soccor to martial arts to dance and yoga.

They took so much care of my girls, always ready to share about statuses, progress, issues, and tips/guidance with parents! Originally we selected the school because it was just walking distance from home, but then we realized how convenient it is. it offers nutritious breakfast, lunch and snacka, have before and after care, and never close (except federal holidays)! that's critical for busy working parents! My girls loved their teachers so much and a lot of enrichment programs offered in school so we don't have to send them elsewhere to take dance, Karate, or soccer! lots of holiday events and even swimming/water fun during the summer!

The teachers at the Traville location are kind & firm, they instill a real sense of discipline and structure in a safe, friendly environment in which my son has flourished. Andy is the most hands-on administrator I will probably ever meet. There is a genuine sense of fun, creativity and responsiveness to the children's needs and expression; and a program that lasts throughout the day (whereas other places seem to basically offer a baby-sitting service in the afternoons). Best of all, it's at a reasonable rate (what I used to pay for a half day I now pay for a full day), which makes being a working parent easier... 5 stars is not enough for this place. Edie.

Terrible experience getting a return of my refund. My child ultimately did not attend because their…read moreplayground equipment was not age appropriate and lack of outdoor space. It took a month of emails and nudging to get them to issue a return. When I was told that the check was ready and I could pick it up, no one came to the door or answered the phone for 30 minutes. I had to call a different Nanda location to text a teacher at my Nanda location to open the door. I understand that people are busy and it has been hectic during covid but that goes for me as well, and my time is just as valuable as theirs. They probably do a good job taking care of kids, but their responsiveness and business practices are lacking.

We changed daycares because we moved and wanted a daycare slightly closer to our new house - and we have had no regrets with the switch! After touring, we were attracted to the welcoming staff, new and clean building/environment, ample play spaces, and structured curriculum and schedules. We knew this was somewhere we could send our son until he goes off to Kindergarten. We were really drawn to the fact that they sign the teacher's contracts for a full school year, ensuring minimal turnover (our previous daycare had an incredible amount of turnover in staff and admin, which we found very disruptive to our son's routines and to us as parents). Communication between the school and parents has been wonderful (e-mail and detailed daily reports) and all of the teachers and admin really seem to enjoy what they do.

The school puts on loads of events which really adds to the community feel. What we really appreciate is the consistency.

There was some staff turnover in my older child's classroom last school year that wasn't ideal, but the current team is fantastic and seems really committed for the long haul. The teachers are caring and attentive, and it's amazing to see how much progress both kids are making, especially when I compare to peers at other schools. My 3y/o is writing words already(!), and my infant is getting way more attention and support through bottle-feeding transition, crawling, teething, etc. than we ever got at my eldest's first school. 7a-6p hours are great for us (both working parents), and above all, both of our kids are happy and genuinely thriving here. As a parent that's all I can really ask for.
