I…read moreused to teach two year olds in preschool and I know how hard it is for an establishment to keep the numbers at the state standards. We have had THE BEST experience with the Goddard School. I enrolled my son in the infant classroom when he was around 9 months old. The growth and learning my child saw within the first month was unbelievable! He was doing baby sign language to tell us he wanted "more" milk, or food before he could even crawl. It was amazing. The dedication each of the teachers has for each child is unlike any other I have ever seen. We stayed with them until he was 1 when we ran into some financial issues. This school is pretty pricey, but it's worth every cent. They worked with me to try and keep us there, and I wish we could have stayed. Unfortunately, I had to take him out for almost a year. It was very sad. Then life went back up again and we were able to take him back to school part time. They remembered his name, my name, my husbands name, and even the cars we drove. Diane and Josh are so super nice, and just overall good people. Ms. Jasmine is too (My son LOVES her). Going back was a relief. I never worried about him being okay, and they always kept the lines of communication open to us. Ms. Liza and Ms. Quinn were amazing and got my son back up to speed in no time. My son is two now and potty training in Ms. Debbie and Ms. Jessica's classroom. They have been nothing but supportive and have always been there to answer any questions I may have in terms of what's normal behavior, how he is advancing, and just to giggle about the silly things he does. He even speaks spanish now too! Every day I receive a report that breaks down the different things they have done that day and what part of development it's for. They also break down how much lunch he ate, how long he napped, and his potty habits. There is even a little section where they write a sweet little moment my child had during the day: "Today (child) had so much fun kicking the soccer ball to his friends! He kept on yelling go team go!" Honestly, it's the best school in the area. I wouldn't dream of taking my child anywhere else. He's excited to go to school. He's excited to learn. He doesn't cry when we get there, he was immediately comfortable when taking him back after the break. I am so thankful for The Goddard School and what they have done for me and my family. All of the teachers there are amazing and so good with each age group. We are lucky to have a school like this!

After…read moredoing our best to care for our daughter at home during the pandemic, we realized we were unable to meet her educational and developmental needs. Our initial tour of The Learning Cottage left us feeling completely confident that this was the best place for our family (a feeling we had yet to experience at many other centers). We were thrilled when a part time spot opened in the JPI classroom and were able to quickly transition into a full time role. Within just a few weeks our daughter's speech and excitement to learn blossomed and she has continued to excel at The Learning Cottage. She was speaking incessantly, making friends, and having fun! She (and we) absolutely adore her teachers and their commitment to each child's academic and socioemotional development is obvious. We are so grateful to have been afforded the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful community and don't want to think about what we'll do when it's time to move on!

We recently made the decision to withdraw our child from this daycare after raising concerns about…read morethe quality of care and overall experience. What followed was extremely concerning. Shortly after communicating our decision, a report was made regarding alleged issues involving our household. The matter was reviewed and dismissed immediately with no findings. While we understand that childcare providers are mandated reporters, the timing and handling of this situation were deeply troubling and raised serious concerns about judgment and professionalism. It is also worth noting that the staff member we had raised concerns about was no longer employed at the center within a few weeks of those concerns being brought forward. This experience completely undermined our trust in the center and its leadership. Families should feel confident that concerns will be handled constructively and responsibly unfortunately, that was not our experience here. We strongly encourage other parents to ask detailed questions about how concerns are addressed and escalated before enrolling
