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.

In recent months, administration team was abruptly changed without any warning to the parents. The…read morenew admin (Vanessa and Natalia) came in extremely rude and agressive towards parents. She put a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. There have been a plethora of new staff hired. The entire safety net and flow of the daycare is gone. I no longer trust my child in the care of these individuals and subsequently have decided to part ways with the center, as have many other parents, hence the decline in enrollment. Corporate doesn't honor complaints and doesn't seem to care about improving the school. The main priority of the center and administration now is to collect your payment every month. Update 10/2: My child suffered head injuries not once but TWICE under their care in our last week there. Ironically in the exact same location. Natalia, the assistant director did not even leave a voicemail properly informing me of the second incident to my child's head. No first aid was administered, and they did not attempt to contact me via the app. My child's injuries and bruising are so severe that I called the police and filed a formal police complaint and will be escalating the matter up to the State. The owner was present during this incident, and seemed as though he couldn't understand anything that was happening. He even left when he saw the police cars arriving. The entire staff and administration are negligent, incompetent, and uninterested in the wellbeing and safety of children. Protect your children and steer away from this place.

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).

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.

IPR is a highly structured curriculum, that truly prepares your child for kindergarten.

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.

Our family's experience with IMS Durham has been deeply disappointing and frustrating. We enrolled…read moreour three-year-old expecting a safe environment and constructive communication with parents, but repeated injury-related incidents and the school's responses ultimately caused us to lose confidence in both. And as it turned out that IMS is not licensed, it is unclear what governmental or other oversight bodies are responsible for oversight of student safety. Among other incidents, our daughter cut her finger while provided a manual pencil sharpener with a metal blade in the classroom to use independently and later came home with unexplained scratches near her eyelids. In another incident, according to the school's own account, a staff member took her hand while redirecting her to sit down, after which she began crying. She reported an arm injury and requested ice. After pickup, she was in significant pain and unable to lift her arm; she was subsequently diagnosed with nursemaid's elbow and required medical reduction. On another day, she sustained a significant tongue injury during nap time. When we picked her up, her shirt and blanket had substantial blood on them, yet we had not been contacted beforehand. We were told that approximately 16-17 children ages 3-6 were in the room and that one of the two people supervising them at that time was a 15-year-old girl on her first day. What troubled us most was what happened when we repeatedly raised safety and communication concerns. At our first and only in-person meeting with the Head of School, which primarily concerned our child's safety, our recollection is that she told us early in the discussion that if we were uncomfortable with the school's practices, we could look for another school before discussing the concerns. We followed IMS's own Handbook process and ultimately escalated our unresolved concerns to the Board Chair. We met with the Board Chair online to discuss them, but before receiving follow-up, IMS terminated our three-year-old daughter's re-enrollment only days before the new school year began. Our daughter had not been accused of misconduct or behavioral problems. The termination letter instead cited the frequency and nature of our communications--including concerns about injuries, supervision, parent notification, and regulatory status--as part of its reasoning. We were left scrambling to find another school at the last minute. In the previous two years in a daycare in another city, our kid was doing quite well. Based on our family's 7-month experience with IMS, we cannot recommend IMS.
