As a parent, the #1 thing you care about when your kid is at daycare is that they are safe. #2 is that they are having fun. My son loved this school so much that often when I would pick him up, he didn't want to leave. My son exceled on so many things since starting this school - at 3 years old he can write every letter of the Alphabet and even say all of his colors and numbers in Spanish! But most of all, my son who used to be painfully shy is one of the most outgoing and social 3 year old I know. I have all of his amazing teachers to thank for this. This school is more then just a daycare, you are treating like family. Again, my son started at 18 months in the room the "strawberries" - which was a great first room for him. He's been in 2 other classes since, and has had nothing but fantastic teachers along the way. We are leaving Goddard to go into our towns public school and we are heartbroken to leave but we are so grateful to have made the memories and friends we made along the way. We will forever remember our Goddard family.

As a current staff in the building, children can be difficult and it's hard when we have a lot of children at once but we make it work and make them feel safe throughout the day. We dedicate our time to these students and make sure that they are well taken care of. My child loves going to school and I wouldn't change going anywhere else for her. This is one of the best daycares and the tuition is reasonable.

Every day my three year old says something to me and when I ask, where'd you learn that, he tells me Miss Cindy! They have done a great job with the COVID precautions and worked through any hiccups very smoothly. Even with the somewhat of a disconnect (parents aren't allowed in the facility) the staff and especially Miss Lauren go out of their way to keep me informed about my one year olds development and what we can be working on at home. We would highly recommend Kiddie Academy to anyone looking for a top notch daycare/school facility in the area.

On multiple occasions I heard the teachers in the older childrens' rooms raising their voices…read moreloudly at children who were simply touching things or asking questions (in other words, normal kid behavior that needed gentle guidance & redirection, not an emergency situation of any kind). I could hear this while standing outside the building during pick-up and I also heard it when inside the building in the halls. My child started as a very young infant and the 2 caregivers that worked with her most closely seemed annoyed that she was struggling to take a bottle, or cried, or wanted to be held, or struggled with the texture of some foods when she was later starting on solids. All normal parts of development, learning to eat, etc. Caregiver would make negative comments to my baby in front of me at drop off if the baby started to fuss when separating from me. The 3rd caregiver she had at the school did seem caring and attentive and started to do sensory activities daily. Prior to this, it seemed that there were no books read, songs sang, games played, sensory activities. Staff wanted babies to lay and play by themselves. When I entered the room on a few occasions, I saw most staff scrolling on their phones while sitting on the floor rocking babies in rockers or on their bodies, and with older babies crawling around and not being interacted with. My child seemed traumatized by the lack of nurturing caregiver with whom to bond on her first times away from her mom.

Locks kids in libraries for long periods of time. God knows what else they would be willing to do…read moreto your child. Be very careful of this place. They are under investigation. Update: Protective Child Services investigation it turns out their camera system is only available for "live viewing" and there are no recordings. What this means is if anything happens in that facility to your child they will not be able to protect your child. Very irresponsible and dangerous for both children and staff that attend this facility. Sounds extremely shady. Parents I suggest a rigorous vetting process of this daycare before putting your child in a facility that has inadequate protections and precaution policies.

The rooms based off pictures being sent throughout the day are bright and cheerful, all the staff i come across are just so wonderful and kind. I am greeted daily but the wonderful director , Diana. My son loves his teachers and i love receiving photos throughout the day, and i enjoy reading his daily report filled with everything i need to know. He comes home daily with art projects. A huge thank you to the owners for invested time and money it has not gone without notice!
