Both of our children, our son and daughter, attended The Goddard School of Durham, and we have…read moreconsistently been impressed with the quality of care and education they received. The teaching staff is knowledgeable, caring, and skilled at fostering each child's development. Our kids grew tremendously in confidence, social skills, and academic readiness during their time here. The teachers took the time to understand each child's individual needs and learning style, which made a significant difference in their progress. The curriculum is well-structured and age-appropriate. Daily communication kept us informed about our kids' activities and development. We also loved the constant stream of photos we received through their app; it helped us put faces to the names of our children's friends and sparked conversations at dinnertime. The facilities are clean, safe, and well-maintained with great outdoor play areas. As working parents, we appreciated the reliability and peace of mind that come with quality childcare. The staff treated our children with genuine care and helped create a positive foundation for their future learning. Our son is transitioning out after several years, and we are confident--just as we were with our daughter--that the skills and preparation he has gained at Goddard will serve him well. We would definitely recommend this school to other families seeking quality early childhood education.

It's a small community, which I enjoy and which allows great accessibility. They also allow and encourage parents to be as involved as they would like to be.

We spent 70k here over five years - I expect more with that kinda spend. In year two primrose rolled out Procare (whether we wanted it or not). Procare is a private equity owned data tracking company where a myriad of data/photos/notes is entered into their database to track your child's development, parent interactions, etc. Upon exiting primrose to enter kindergarten I contacted Tony and Norma requesting that our child's data be deleted from the procare private equity companies servers. I have data privacy concerns given we are moving into an AI era. Our child's photos and notes are still in Procare. Procare and primrose have gone silent. I'de gladly amend this review when the issue has been resolved

It is never easy dropping off a new baby but we knew with our second that she was in great hands (now 8 months old). The warm and loving teachers made it so much easier. The facility is clean and well organized. They provide well balanced meals and our daughter definitely tries a wider variety of food there than she does at home. Our baby even eats food off the menu! The directors and staff are open to suggestions and are very willing to work with you when you have an issue (like with my children who resist naps). We are sent daily pictures/videos which is really nice. Our 3-year-old loves school. They do a ton of art, which she really enjoys. She was writing letters over the weekend that I had no idea she knew!

IPR is a highly structured curriculum, that truly prepares your child for kindergarten. The 2s students color, paint, do art projects, play outside, celebrate holidays around the world, and learn letters and numbers, daily. We are so impressed with how much my son has learned in just a few months already. We love that the students wear uniforms daily. His teachers have many years of experience teaching 2-5 year olds, and they give my son individualized attention. I could not be happier with the education my son is receiving at IPR!

My kid did not like it and didn't want to go every day and they were actually doing well. Teachers told me they put some kids in time out every day. Time out for a 2 yo is harmful. I also found it sad how many kids cried the entire first week of school and then again when they returned after winter break. It was hard to see.
