The staff at Kid's Kollege is top notch. The facility is not fancy, however very functional and we…read morecouldn't be happier with all staff employees. We have 3 children enrolled; each in a different age division of their program. Our grade school son loves Ms. Arla, our middle child is very fond of all of his preschool staff, and our 2 year old son has adjusted so well to the schedule and environment of the school: far beyond my expectations. The security is tight at this facility as one needs a code to enter and there is a sign in policy in place. The food is well balanced, and many times when I come in to drop off my children, the place smells delicious, bringing me thoughts of a warm home. The only improvements I would like to see is the development of structured schedules for grade school attendees during government holidays. They watch grade school-children during this time (even one Christmas Eve!) but their structure is pretty basic. However, I think this is due to lack of funding because the school charges a charitable economical price considerably under other centers in the same market. Moreover, the founder; Jane Ashley, is an incredibly generous person. She is always willing to help with school payment plans and is there until 6:00 or after. There have been a few times that I was unable to arrive for pick up until after 6, as my schedule is a late one and the staff was there without judgement. Although those statements are not a waiver to abuse the staff's time; it simply reflects their perceptive approach and sacrifice to care of my children. I would recommend this school to anyone. I am glad to utilize their competent services and hope that their return comes back to them 10-fold.

If I could give 1000 stars, I would! I have four children and have had experience as a board…read moremember, employee and mother at preschools. I love this school. The director is amazing- she loves the children and is true to her mission. The teachers are full of love and go beyond their duties to love and teach and make children comfortable and happy while following their curriculum.

Be aware!! This environment is not suited to all children or to all families. We could live with…read morethe cloth napkins required for lunch but there are many aspects we feel are vital to development that are missing. There are no activities to foster imaginative play or free exploration. There is no housekeeping corner, no dress up center, no sand table, no water table, no block center. The structure of the program is to the extreme. Children have choice in their activities; however, the activities are extremely regimented and structured. You may use an activity but only following the highly specific instructions. For example, you may use blocks but only to sort by size. You may not build a tower or wall. Communication is a serious problem. On a day to day basis, you will have no idea what your child is working or what skills they are mastering. There are no written notes sent home at the end of the week describing the books they read, or the songs they sing, or how your child's day is going. Unless you initiate communication, there is none. Children here develop skills and are high achieving. However, at what cost. OBSERVE and decide for yourself. BE CONCERNED

Where do I begin? I suppose somewhere in the beginning, middle, and end; it's all the same…read more The Goddard School is GREAT! Teachers - BOOM - AWESOME! Oh yeah, some stuff I really liked. My wife and I decided to place our daughter in Goddard. Why? Because we're smart [I think so]. There are many things to share about Goddard. The education was/is great, but there were little extra things that brought my wife and I mental comfort. Leaving your kid(s) with other people....at a place, can be weird. Not at Goddard. No odd smells, sticky surfaces, odd interactions with staff; education, order, structure, and fun was in the air. There's nothing but positives, but a few items of personal interest pop out in my mind. Communication. We were always consulted in advance of our child's progress through written documentation and daily reports via the Tadpoles App. I didn't really know the power of the application, but it was comforting and very informative. As parents, of course, we all wonder what happens to our kid(s) when they're not in our presence - normal. What the Tadpoles App did, was to allow parents to check the status of drop-off/pick-up times, daily activities, see pics, see videos, get notes from teachers, reminders, and much more. The impressive thing, the teachers were fantastic at keeping [us] parents informed using technology - EVERY DAY. Keep in mind, the use of this application wasn't the only thing Goddard did extremely well at. At The Goddard School, there is obviously a focus on learning, but the school as a whole has a very wide range of activities throughout the year. YOU will see and be IMPRESSED! Teachers and parents [us] were in constant communication no matter the circumstance. If my child did well or needed more improvement at home in an area of weakness, I was happy to employ and reinforce practices that helped the teachers during their day with our child. Likewise, I appreciated the attention that was given to our child. I have not a word of negativity to speak; I couldn't imagine it. Side-note. After spending half my life in the military, I've learned a few things about: - attention to detail - communication - cleanliness - training & education - safety - teamwork - security - good times! [Classified] ......shall I go on? Save yourself the dilemma and worry, Goddard has these components and more. If you're about making good choices, just bless your child with the gift of Goddard. You will not be sorry. You Will Be Happy! ~ Andrejs M.

The owner has no business running a facility for children. She is rude, abrasive, and her only goal…read moreis to collect as much money as possible while providing as little as possible. She also has no empathy for even basic special needs and fought us tooth and nail for the smallest request, for which we had a doctor's note. The teachers were fine. The actual facility is ok. But, unless you are stuck between a rock and a hard place for childcare, I would not recommend sending your children here.

Parent pick up is always a breeze. Love the organization and the attention to detail from the staff…read more Education at this school is top notch... they even have their own farm with animals to teach the littles. Love it

I am disappointed with how this daycare/school handled my child's potty accident…read more I fully understand that we have responsibility as parents to provide extra clothes, and I can acknowledge that we should have had backup clothes available. That part is on us. However, young children have accidents, especially when they are adjusting to a new environment, and I was shocked by how the situation was handled. I received a call telling me that my child had an accident and that I needed to bring shorts or pants because they were currently only in their shirt. I was also told that if I could not bring clothes, my child would remain without pants. That is the part I cannot accept. A childcare facility should still have a basic contingency plan for situations like this. No child should be left exposed, embarrassed, or without proper clothing because there are no backup options available. Even when a parent forgets something, the child's dignity and comfort should remain the priority. What makes this even more concerning is that since starting at this school, my child's confidence and self-esteem seem to have changed. They have started saying things like, "I don't use my listening ears. I never do," and "I'm a bad kid." As a parent, that is heartbreaking to hear. Children should be corrected and redirected with patience and care, not in a way that makes them internalize shame or feel like they are bad. A potty accident should be handled privately, calmly, and respectfully. It should never become something that adds to a child's embarrassment or affects how they see themselves. As a parent, it was incredibly stressful to receive that call and feel like my child's dignity was not being protected. I hope the school reviews its policy on potty accidents, backup clothing, and how children are spoken to when they are struggling or adjusting.

To all of the over-protective, paranoid Momma's!…read more I NEVER take the time to write reviews however, this one is well overdo. Collectively , we have invested 9 years with both of our children having attended Primrose. We feel the need to share our apprection with these words. With our first born, we recall scrolling and scrolling through the internet to find the best possible care for our baby... to the extent of keeping us awake at night. Luckily, we came across Primrose at Cahoon Commons. It was a godsend and we can genuinely say it was the best decision we have ever made. Being duel militray, the staff at Primrose was very accommodating with the hours, extreme professionalism, and even arranged fun arts & crafts to mail my husband while he was on deployment, amount many other things. Everyone wants to drop their babies off with trusted care and we can honestly say we knew our babies were safe and in excellent care every single day. We cannot express how much we appreciate you all. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for loving our children and giving us peace of mind on a daily basis for over the past 9 years. We will never forget you!! - The Irving's
