This Goddard School is fabulous. They have a most welcoming staff and set of teachers that truly…read morecare about the children and want what's best for them. I highly recommend.

This school is absolutely corrupt. Please do not be fooled by the name. All of the leaders at the…read moreschool have absolutely no sense of how a school should be run. Their main focus is getting new children in the door, not accommodating the children that they have, not supporting the staff, not updating the school. With three directors and two owners, you would think this school would be prestige but they all just go around in circles with each other and none of them care about what is best for the school. Terrible management. They are flat out mean, petty, and childish when time comes to treating their employees with simple human decency. Please think twice about sending your child to a school where the directors care more about their trash can than their employees feelings. This is NOT the charming, sweet school that you are fooled into seeing when you walk through the doors. The children are disrespected and the teachers that actually care about them are sent packing...

If zero stars was allowed.....I don't even know where to start here. The daycare is disgusting just…read morebeginning there, like a good vacuum and floor stripping would do this place a lot of justice. I enrolled my son here as a last ditch effort because there was no spaces in other centers in the area. Huge mistake. The front staff here seemed friendly but I think it was a facade. The infant room, where my 10 month old was enrolled has a bunch of young girls in there who have NO idea how to take care of children. Dropping our son off my fiancé witnessed one of the staff members sighing loudly and basically saying "what do you want" to a child. A CHILD, who obviously cannot help themselves and is under your care? Really. They fabricated information on my sons daily sheet saying he was fed and changed at certain times and it was all a lie. My son came home with the same diaper he had on when I dropped him off, I know this because it was a special diaper he had on with markings. When that was brought to the front staffs attention they didn't care, one person who is not even the director the "curriculum specialist" was the only person I spoke with. The director, Nikki, didn't even have the common decency to investigate or even call me to let me know what was said to her staff about it. My son would come home extremely dehydrated from them either not feeding him or not giving him his water. I can't believe I have to even write this review and I am completely disgusted with this center as a whole. If you love and care about your child, please do not send them here.. send them somewhere they will be cared for and not neglected. I won't stop advocating for my child until the proper solution is achieved. I have been in contact with The Virginia Department of Social Services with this matter as well.

This place has been a godsend for our family. After two other centers and many issues, it was…read moresurpising to find somewhere so great so close by. Great Department of Social Services inspection records, strong, long-term management and many teachers there for the long haul. Healthy, on-site cooked meals. The amount of exercise the children get (especially in summer) is great, with their own pool and on-site PE instruction both indoor and outdoor. Age-appropriate curriciulum and activites, very good team of staff working together, nice facilities and huge, safe playground and many activities. Way to go Heather and team! And, we are paying less than before!

When I picked up My son his teacher Gabby was in the bathroom and the other teacher said she'd be…read moreback shortly. My son was laying in the floor in the corner and looked I'll. Gabby returned and said he hadn't eaten much today and wasn't feeling good. She seemed clueless as to what to do about my child not feeling good. She said he was laying on the table so she moved him to the floor where it was more comfortable. No one contacted me. The other teacher took his temperature as I was holding him and it was 102.4. After I asked Gabby why no one contacted me she said she had told the director earlier that my son wasn't feeling good. The other teacher said he was busy and forgot. It is not a good facility. Don't send your child here if you want good care. They probably don't get paid much and don't care about the children. I had read one bad review but there were so many good ones. I just read the bad review again and it is more accurate than I thought. They do cover up things. The director tried to call me today and left a voice mail and denied anything that happened and tried to cover it up. This place is unsafe and weird things are happening to these poor children.

Parents need to know that this daycare is substandard. The facility has holes in the wall and a…read morebroken window covered with card board. The classrooms do not have the correct number of staff members to children as required by law. The staff yells at the children. The turnover of staff is very high. The teachers are thrown in without training. Children that are difficult to keep up with are put in swings outside and left there until outside time is over. Diapers are not changed consistently. The staff members allow children to watch TV all day. They call children on the spectrum kids that have the "tism". The owner does not take responsibility for the problems and continues to enroll more children even though there is not enough staff. Parents, when considering this place, just don't. Your child deserves more.

I asked for my $75.00 registration fee back for the 4 papers that I signed in total the day before and she stated it was non refundable. I stated that I will be taking it to court and she laughed and hung up in my face. For them to give up on a child within 15 minutes of meeting him is ridiculous! They should be shut down. Immediately!! Terrible staff and they only had one person watching over 15-20 kids at a time. They also took pictures of my child without a photo release form.
