CHILDTIME is a very clean school with great meals. This center has great diversity with children…read morebut not staff. Classes geared towards preparation for kindergarten cost extra as well as any other fun programs. The registration fee is 75, 25 if you register early. The staff offers moderate feedback. I participated in this school for one year. I left because the school age teacher was unkind to my child. I spoke with the teacher to try to get a better understanding and the manager of the school. I don't think the teacher was reprimanded. I like the location of this center, if it weren't for the teacher we would still be there. Children under three and infants are well cared for.

The only reason we no longer are using the daycare is because the distance we had to drive (my problem, not Goddard's), and that they didn't have a full time spot at the time. Again, would highly recommend this facility and staff, your child will be in great hands.

We've had the best experience with the Goddard School, starting years ago in New Albany Ohio with…read moreour son. When we moved to Medina Goddard was our obvious choice. The teachers are hands on and communication is fantastic. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and every time I would walk in the door I was greeted with a smile. They remember you and build a great relationship with your child. The preparation our daughter received at Medina Goddard for grade school allowed us to send her to Kindergarten with confidence and most importantly she was a confident 4 year old ready for kindergarten. The facility was clean, the classrooms are nice and again, the STAFF WAS AWESOME. Thank you for treating my child and our family with such kindness, we appreciate your hard work and attention to detail. I highly recommend this school and location.

I do not recommend the Akron Goddard School for many, many reasons…read more First, my 15 month old was transitioned to an older room by himself (not in a group of peers) abruptly, with no overlap or plan in place to help him adjust to the new routines and teachers. His drop-offs got worse and worse until we removed him from the school. I later learned that there is supposed to be a written transition agreement plan signed by both the school and the parents. Second, when we made friends with other families in the same room, we learned that we were being charged $200-300 more per month for the exact same service (same number of children, same number of days/week, same room, no meals). These families were not part of any corporate or income-based discount, were not aware of being on any promotional rate, and started at the school after us, so they weren't being grandfathered into a lower rate. When we spoke to one family and asked what they paid for 3 days vs 5 days a week, they were perplexed because they had been told it was a flat rate no matter how many days they sent their child. When we tried to ask the owner why we were paying $200-300 more per month than other families, the owner would not make himself available to discuss the issue and we had to go through the director. She was kind about it but couldn't give us any explanation. When the owner finally contacted us, it was through email to tell us he would not refund our pre-paid August tuition since we left voluntarily. In the same email, he accused us of threatening the director and cced his attorney on the email. Finally, the owner lied to us during our initial tour. He told us (bragged about it, actually, which is why I remember it so clearly) that all additional activities (like soccer, dance, gymnastics for example) were free to all students because he does not want children to feel left out. This is why, he claimed, they charge a larger yearly registration fee-- to cover the additional activities. This turned out not to be true. They did charge us a larger yearly registration fee ($300) compared with other schools in the area, but we learned that any extra activities cost extra. I do not recommend the Akron Goddard School. If you are already there, I recommend asking others in your room what they pay for the same service and being very proactive with making a plan for your child to transition between rooms, because they did not look out for my child's well-being in the transition and I did not know enough at the time to insist on anything else.

The owner processed a ~$1300 charge on our credit card without our consent. When I sent an email…read moreasking for this amount to be refunded, he responded accordingly. However, soon after, I received an email claiming that my email was rude? (see attached emails of our correspondence). As a result, he asked us to find another school and kept our $200 deposit for our daughter. We were loyal customers to this school for two years. This meant nothing, it seems. We understand the policy had changed for holding our daughter's place here; however, the way the owner communicated this change was lacking and unprofessional.

My daughter has been going to All Around Children since Pre-K, she is now in her second year of…read moreschool age. The teachers are all wonderful. She learned so much in her Pre-K class, and her teacher(s) was an angel. She never would have been remotely ready for Kindergarten if not for the education she received from All Around. She loves her school age teachers now too. My daughter struggled a little in school last year and one of the teachers who was never one of her direct teachers help coach her through the year. I am still amazed by the bond with this teacher and my daughter, because she never had to help my daughter; she was not her student. The administrators are all great, and easy to work with. This is really a great place for your little ones. They really do care for each and every kid there.
