I'm sharing our experience because I believe parents deserve to know how concerns are handled at…read morethis daycare. First, I want to say that most of the teachers we encountered were wonderful and incredibly loving toward the children. My concerns are primarily with management, their communication style, and how serious issues were handled. The catalyst for us switching daycares was an incident I personally witnessed where a teacher angrily put his hands on another child and pushed the child into a chair. Although my child was not directly involved, I immediately became uncomfortable leaving my child alone with that specific teacher. I immediately reported this to the owner as I was on my way out the door, but the teacher continued working at the daycare. I received no follow-up from management until I requested to withdraw my child and verbally complained about the lack of communication when asked why our family was withdrawing. When I finally received a response, I was told that the teacher said he had not touched anyone. This was extremely concerning because I had personally witnessed it. After several days of deliberation, I contacted ChildLine to report my concerns. It was not until the state became involved that the teacher was ultimately removed. This was not our only issue with management. There were also ongoing communication breakdowns. For example, parents would receive emails about special events or policy changes that the teachers themselves sometimes seemed unaware of. It was clear to me management did not adequately support or communicate with its own staff. Ultimately, the lack of communication and the way this incident was handled caused me to lose confidence in this daycare. There are genuinely caring and wonderful teachers there, but as a parent, I need to know that my child is safe and that serious concerns will be taken seriously. Unfortunately, we reached a point where I no longer felt that way, and we chose to move our child to another daycare.

Little Learners has amazing leadership and teaching staff and I truly believe that without their support throughout the years, our son would not have transitioned so easily.

To everyone at Little Learners, THANK YOU for helping Grayson grow in such a positive way!

We came to The Goddard School of Carlisle from another day care facility and our experience has…read morebeen night and day. At the time of this writing we have been there just short of a year. The school is extremely clean and welcoming by every teacher we have encountered. The Goddard School programming in general has a good reputation, however the staff currently implementing the programming at this school are absolutely excellent. We have to say the development of our child has improved drastically - that includes physical development, emotional development, and milestone development. It appears most teachers intermingle with all classes and our child is very familiar with all staff - you can see that at drop off and pick up as they always address our child by name. I would also like to touch on the ongoing confidence boost the current teachers are giving my child. They really interact and get to know the children and it really makes such a difference. Our child loves going in there. The hours are absolutely convenient for us which is not something we had before. The benefit of when my husband travels is that I don't have to leave work early to pick our child up and we can use that extra time. We do need to pack breakfast (unless you have time to give this at home) and lunch - which in the grand scheme is really fine with me now. It was a learning curve at first, but it gives me the opportunity to nutritionally decide what I will send in. Sometimes when other daycares are funded, the food is mass produced - and kind of gross. The school provides two snacks a day - this is very helpful! From our experience, you really get what you pay for. Here we see that we have made an investment in our child's future (even though still very young). We have another child on the way and could not imagine not enrolling our newest in this program. Like I said - the program is great - but the teachers hired really make it for us. We would 10/10 recommend this school.

We have been extremely impressed with the curriculum, staff and how they are preparing our son for kindergarten.

We would highly recommend Goddard Carlisle to anyone.

Previously he attended…read morean in-home daycare, which we loved, so we were worried about switching to a center and the kind of attention he would get. Our minds were immediately set at ease. The owners, Bill and Judy, are at the center every day and they know all of the children by name. That's a lot of kids! They are warm and kind and the kids love them. The teachers and teacher aids are all different personalities and styles but they are all sweet and loving to the children. I know my son ADORES them! The facility is always clean, the meals they make for the kids are made in-house from real food, and there are tons of toys! The outdoor play areas are separated so that the bigger kids don't plow down the little ones as they play, which is really nice. Each area has appropriate equipment and toys, and is monitored at all times. There are tons of beautiful flowers around and the entire center (2 separate buildings) always looks great. They also OWN 2 real school buses used for transporting the kids. Again, we were worried about sending our son to a center, but this place is fantastic. It's a center, but it is family owned and operated, and our son loves it there! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We couldn't be more pleased with the care our child is provided. The family environment is…read morecomforting for a full time working parent, and I feel as though her education and development is their priority every day. They make a huge effort to include parents in the daily accomplishments their children via multiple email updates with pictures throughout the day, which makes me feel I'm not missing out on quite so much while at work. The school encourages and nurtures cultural diversity both in the student/family population and within the curriculum. The facility itself is clean/organized and the faculty are always friendly and know every single student by name! Many of the teachers have been there since opening in 2012 when my child started there as a baby, and to me that speaks volumes about the dedication the teachers have to the children and that they are treated well themselves by the employer. Happy teachers mean happy kids in my opinion!! Not only have they retained an incredible staff, there are many families that have also been a part of this school since day 1, some with multiple children as their families have grown, again speaking volumes about the family environment and quality education that is provided. Additionally, they follow strict guidelines regarding food safety, allergy awareness and hygiene-believe me I have received many emails regarding slip ups if I don't properly label my child's food items etc, again reassuring me that my child and the other children in her classroom/school are their priority.

When we asked the reason, we were told that one of them "just crashed out". We experienced hand foot and mouth twice in 3 months. We experienced lice twice in 3 months. We lost wages over this. When I asked they cleaning procedures, they explained that they only clean the room they found it in; however, every staff member is in contact with almost every child in the building at some point. My grandson got a large scratch right next to his eye. When we asked what happened, no one knew. We were told "a friend must have accidentAlly scratched him". When I watched a 3 year attempt to punch my grandson and left the building with him, I was not asked by the director who was standing right there why I was upset. She ignored me and allowed me to leave angry and upset. There is a child in the 2 year old room that is clearly not 2 years old. I watched her punch a little boy in the side of his head for no reason. I watched a staff member help a calm little girl with a baby doll rather than help to console my crying granddaughter during drop off. They will not remove my account from their payment portal and it us set up in such a way that you do not have control of your own money. They take whatever payment they want in spite of their contract and offer to pay your overdraft fees as consolation. They have a 30 day notice period. If you do not give a 30 day notice, they inform you that they are turning you into collections if you don't pay even if your children aren't there. They have no regard for complaints or concerns about safety. They only care about money.

She's loved every one of her teachers, and so have we. They do crafts, music, and other activities every day with the kids, so it's not simply "babysitting." They have a great routine set up for the kids, which is so important at that age. It's also much more affordable than other day cares in this area. The only thing keeping them from being five stars is that communication is sometimes lacking. It's often tough to reach them by phone, as there's no "receptionist" as you enter as most of the other day cares we looked at have in place. I'm sure this is to keep costs down, though. We do get a written daily report at pickup, but it's occasionally lacking in details and accuracy. Obviously, we wouldn't let these things dissuade you from choosing Kidz Quarterz. It's simply some constructive criticism. They're great, caring people, and we have had no concerns about the level of care our daughter has received.
