The new director, Linzie, and new assistant director, Abby, are both amazing. They've been at the school in other positions for multiple years and are newly promoted. They are wonderful with kids and parents, great to their teachers, and are pouring new life into the school! Our kids are learning so much more, in a safe and clean environment, and it's a wonderful place. I can now confidently recommend it with the great leadership team and teachers! Shout out to Ms Jen, Ms Thu, and Ms Rena as well, they are wonderfully patient and teaching my kids so much.

This place was awful!!!…read more My daughter was 18 months and when I dropped her off she was scared and crying. But I had to go to work. I can back in the middle of the day and the front office receptionist said I could peek into the room. I saw my daughter running after her teacher, arms outstretched asking for a hug. Teacher just kept walking and ignored her and let her cry. Totally not comforting her at all. I was told that the teacher didn't see her I was told it's normal for a kid to be scared and crying the first day. I was stupid and brought my daughter back the second day. She comes home with a bruise on her inner thigh right close to her private area. I was so livid, when I confronted them they said she was walking and fell on a wooden toy brick that was on the ground. Really?!?! The bruise was on her inner thigh!! The bruise looks like someone pinched her on the inside of her thigh. They told me it's because she was learning how to walk and fell and that it's common for kids that age to get bruises. I don't think so... not on the inside thigh. I pulled her out immediately after that and found another place. Go research Cornerstone Christian Academy... it's a great place. My daughter has been with Cornerstone Christian Academy ever since and she's so happy everyday. CCA is Much safer than Greatwood Primrose.

Tyler started there in 2018, and when Adeline joined in 2021--at just three months old--we already knew she would be in the best hands. What makes The Kensington School truly exceptional is that it's family-owned, and you can feel that sense of warmth, stability, and personal investment in everything they do. The consistent community of long-term students and educators has meant the world to us. Every classroom feels like an extension of home, filled with educators who are dedicated, nurturing, and truly passionate about what they do. The Montessori-based curriculum has helped both our children grow into curious, confident, and independent learners. We've watched them flourish academically, socially, and emotionally thanks to the thoughtful structure and caring environment. We can't recommend The Kensington School highly enough. It has been one of the best decisions we've made for our family.

The Kensington School's staff is all exceptional, from the front desk to the teachers, to the directors who office at the front of the school so know all the happenings of the day. The school keeps parents engaged in updates and events, and fosters an environment of curiosity and independence. For most parents, choosing where your child spends impressionable years of their life can be a daunting task, but The Kensington School has been nothing but amazing for our child's learning journey. The directors of the school are so invested in our daughter's future, that they are always keen to share learnings, advice and thoughtful recommendations when asked. We highly recommend The Kensington School!

As a parent, I expect my children--especially my son with special needs--to be welcomed, respected, and supported. Unfortunately, that has not been our experience. On multiple occasions, including most recently with the director herself, I witnessed behavior that I can only describe as discriminatory. This lack of acknowledgment and respect is unacceptable, particularly in an environment where children should feel safe and valued regardless of who they are. As a result, today is my children's last day at this daycare.This decision does not come lightly after 2 years, but I cannot in good conscience continue to leave my children in an environment where they are not treated with the dignity every child deserves. I truly hope that serious reflection and changes are made so no other family has to experience what we have!!!

My oldest recently came out of Ms. Peace (who is incredible!!) and is now in Ms. Lavanya's class, the care that both teachers provide my son have been immeasurable.

My son got bit multiple times and noone knew who did it or what happened, so that alone is a safety concern. It's not like you have cameras for the parents to view. I heard with my own ears the treatment of the kids in other classrooms. Please don't try to discredit that-- instead, take it as constructive criticism and make a change. It's also strange to encourage people to call and ask questions about the review I'm leaving. I'm stating my experience and it's valid. for 3 months straight I was contemplating keeping him there or moving him, I cried so much because I didn't feel like I made the right choice with enrolling him here but I gave so many chances within 3 months. Anyway... enroll your kids here if you want. But It just didn't work for us. I'd tour other facilities in the area before devoting yourself to this one and make your best judgment for value and quality. ---- They deleted my REAL review from google to where it's only viewable from my own google account but not publicly, and all they have is 5 star reviews. It's very concerning to have childcare facilities deleting actual reviews. I will post that review here. Parents please get in-person feedback when it comes to deciding a childcare program, because clearly they only care about how they look on google. Also this daycare is multiple hundreds dollars more expensive than the others in the area. More expensive does not equal better quality. Review I posted on google that got deleted : My son attended here for only 3 months and I wanted to love it so bad because of the name Goddard holds. However seeing him thrive at his new daycare just solidifies my opinion. His first few weeks he kept getting bit by another child and no one knew what happened. 3 out of the 4 times it happened, there wasn't a witness. Then the teacher said "maybe he took the other kids toy" ??? I don't care if he did or not, biting is not acceptable but no one even seen it happen so how would you know? I know this will happen with kids that are under 2 but for it to happen so often and it was never witnessed by staff, I always found it after pick up when I put him in the car.. sorry but that's ridiculous. Also, he was always put in a high chair instead of being able to sit in a toddler chair bc "he wouldn't stay sitting down" however this hasn't been an issue at his current facility. They hardly changed his diaper, and by no surprise the school always smelled like a dirty diaper. He didn't learn anything here. They dont have cameras. Curriculum was either not effective or just nonexistent. They don't do anything fun like spirit week, and if they do it's not communicated to parents. On multiple occasions I heard teachers from other classrooms yelling at their students being very mean and aggressive . Moving him was the best decision I've made. I genuinely don't understand all the positive reviews.

This school could be amazing if it weren't for Rana! She's very unprofessional. She's a true snake!…read moreRana is the type of person to tell you that your child needs to stay away from a specific child because they're a bad influence on them. Then proceed to tell you the name of the child and anyone the child is having an issue with. She is the type to allow a specific little boy literally to bite everyone and attack them for a year yet he's still there and he broke the skin when he bit my daughter. She also told me his name. She hired a new teacher that lacked proper communication skills, so she switched my child's class after saying she was separating her from her bad influence. Any altercation I was made aware of exactly which kid. So, once my child started hitting kids back, she blamed it on my child. My child would have bites, scratches, cuts, bruises and nobody could tell me anything! Yet once my child hits the kids back, I'm getting a phone call or talks in passing. I've never received an incident report or observation report. Not to mention in the evenings the kids are basically watching themselves! You will literally see them opening doors running out. I once wrote an honest review, and she pulled me into her office because people could see it and it wasn't to her liking. Well, my daughter has a speech therapist that it took Rana 2.5 months to verify her background further delaying my child. I've run into about 6 other parents that feel as I do and said they feel she racially profiles our kids. In the later days she started telling myself and dad that specific kids were leaving because of my kid. Again, name dropping. I have seen 3 of said parents and they all said she was lying, and they left because of her and her actions. You can't go to her with issues as she listens to respond and over talks you. You can't call with concerns if you can't go up there she's never available and doesn't return your calls. Also, when I worked in childcare rule #1 is you never tell another child's name to the parent of a child, they had an issue with. There are no cameras so you have nothing to go off of and in the last month my daughter would cry and beg not to go to school saying kids and Ms. A (Rana) were mean to her. Naturally this frustrated me beyond words as this is my mf'n kid! I don't play about either of my kids! The owner should really reconsider his director. Not to mention my daughter came home on her last day there last week with a bite mark. Later that night formed bumps on her hands later found out it was hand foot and mouth! Which further frustrated me as I have a newborn. I wasn't ever made aware of this, (the biting or the virus) and it wasn't acknowledged when I called the and wrote Rana. I have 5 recorded conversations with Rana specifically talking about other kid's name dropping and one in particular the one she said was a bad influence is on majority of my recordings. Pls do your research when considering. I haven't had any issues with assistant director Cynthia or office assistant Vanessa just her. Once again just be aware and alert. While touring new schools 4 of them told me they've been having parents tour leaving or wanting to leave that school and there issues are lack of having enough supervision in the classrooms but mainly her and her unprofessionalism. Oh and she said she'd email me these "incident and observation reports" that I've never seen! So, if they have a signature that's a lawsuit. As none of my household has been presented with one.
