We had been here for over two months when the daycares in Ohio reopened and I just wanted my son to get some interaction with other kids again, especially since he was having separation anxiety from being away from his dad for so long. Adventure Place brought him back out of his shell, got him talking more, and he's genuinely happy to be there. Everyone there has been so kind and patient with him. I'm so so so thankful I found this place!

I do not recommend the Akron Goddard School for many, many reasons…read more First, my 15 month old was transitioned to an older room by himself (not in a group of peers) abruptly, with no overlap or plan in place to help him adjust to the new routines and teachers. His drop-offs got worse and worse until we removed him from the school. I later learned that there is supposed to be a written transition agreement plan signed by both the school and the parents. Second, when we made friends with other families in the same room, we learned that we were being charged $200-300 more per month for the exact same service (same number of children, same number of days/week, same room, no meals). These families were not part of any corporate or income-based discount, were not aware of being on any promotional rate, and started at the school after us, so they weren't being grandfathered into a lower rate. When we spoke to one family and asked what they paid for 3 days vs 5 days a week, they were perplexed because they had been told it was a flat rate no matter how many days they sent their child. When we tried to ask the owner why we were paying $200-300 more per month than other families, the owner would not make himself available to discuss the issue and we had to go through the director. She was kind about it but couldn't give us any explanation. When the owner finally contacted us, it was through email to tell us he would not refund our pre-paid August tuition since we left voluntarily. In the same email, he accused us of threatening the director and cced his attorney on the email. Finally, the owner lied to us during our initial tour. He told us (bragged about it, actually, which is why I remember it so clearly) that all additional activities (like soccer, dance, gymnastics for example) were free to all students because he does not want children to feel left out. This is why, he claimed, they charge a larger yearly registration fee-- to cover the additional activities. This turned out not to be true. They did charge us a larger yearly registration fee ($300) compared with other schools in the area, but we learned that any extra activities cost extra. I do not recommend the Akron Goddard School. If you are already there, I recommend asking others in your room what they pay for the same service and being very proactive with making a plan for your child to transition between rooms, because they did not look out for my child's well-being in the transition and I did not know enough at the time to insist on anything else.

The owner processed a ~$1300 charge on our credit card without our consent. When I sent an email…read moreasking for this amount to be refunded, he responded accordingly. However, soon after, I received an email claiming that my email was rude? (see attached emails of our correspondence). As a result, he asked us to find another school and kept our $200 deposit for our daughter. We were loyal customers to this school for two years. This meant nothing, it seems. We understand the policy had changed for holding our daughter's place here; however, the way the owner communicated this change was lacking and unprofessional.

They are very attentive to our family's needs and wishes whether it is dietary or medical. They also keep us notified and updated on meals, nap times, bathroom, learning activities, etc their Brightwheel App, which is awesome! They also occasionally update us with pictures and videos of activities which always brings a smile to my face seeing my little one interact with the other children. Another huge plus for me is their hours! Being that they close at 630PM, it allows plenty of time after work to run any type of errand I need to before picking her up. I will add that I never or hardly ever need to but if I did I would be good! Definitely schedule a visit and see for yourself! The location is great also! Thanks Childtime!

We've had the best experience with the Goddard School, starting years ago in New Albany Ohio with…read moreour son. When we moved to Medina Goddard was our obvious choice. The teachers are hands on and communication is fantastic. We get pictures and updates throughout the day and every time I would walk in the door I was greeted with a smile. They remember you and build a great relationship with your child. The preparation our daughter received at Medina Goddard for grade school allowed us to send her to Kindergarten with confidence and most importantly she was a confident 4 year old ready for kindergarten. The facility was clean, the classrooms are nice and again, the STAFF WAS AWESOME. Thank you for treating my child and our family with such kindness, we appreciate your hard work and attention to detail. I highly recommend this school and location.

Classes geared towards preparation for kindergarten cost extra as well as any other fun programs. The registration fee is 75, 25 if you register early. The staff offers moderate feedback.

I don't think the teacher was reprimanded. I like the location of this center, if it weren't for the teacher we would still be there. Children under three and infants are well cared for.

In the pre-k classroom the curriculum is fun, educational and age appropriate. Our son knows his letters, numbers and most importantly demonstrates a love for learning.

Let me preface my review by saying that I do have high expectations when someone watches my child…read more I am happy to pay whatever dollar amount, but inconsistent care is not acceptable. We moved in from out of state and I looked at 2 daycares. A national chain that used with a curricular approach and TLC. We chose TLC, because of the low infant to 'teacher' ratio, which is 3 to 1. The facility is nice and people were nice enough. Pricing was high for this market, but expected at that level of staffing. The first week or so were a bit of a transition, which we expected. My son didn't sleep well there and stopped holding his bottle and being as active as normal. I chalked this up to a big move and change of daycares. After about 2 weeks things started to get a little strange, whenever we picked up my son he was either sleeping or being fed. We never saw him on the floor playing with other kids. The other kids were always being fed or sleeping. Granted we weren't there long stretches of time, but I heard parents say the same thing to the workers. In week 3, we showed up to drop off my son and the infant room did not have a normal teacher. The fill in from the toddler room stated she didn't know where anyone was. She also stated she understood if we didn't want to leave him with her. All of this struck us as strange. We decided based on gut to leave. I emailed the management and expressed my concern about a lack of backup and system in place to deal with this type of situation. The reply from management was 'these things happen especially with bad weather.' The problem with this statement is that day did not have bad weather. We took the weekend to think about it and thought to give it one more shot. We tried to make an appointment with management and they kept pushing the date to later in the week. This should have been telling that they were not receptive to our concerns. We took my son to the daycare and the lead teacher was in the room. She apologized for the lack of a teacher on the prior Friday. She said the teacher who is normally there had an issue late night at her apartment. We left our son and decided my wife would go back to check. She did and the normal early morning teacher was very sick and talking to the lead teacher. They both seemed surprised my wife showed up. My wife found my son in the crib with a dirty diaper screaming. He had obviously been crying for a while. The two teachers had been in the other room talking evidently not paying attention to the crying of my son or other children. Ultimately, the number of incidents in a compressed time made us switch daycares. For some reason the management decided it was necessary to write an email telling me why all my concerns were baseless after we pulled him. Additionally, they stated no other children had been pulled in the past 11 years. This is patently false. A child at our new daycare was originally at TLC. I do not think they mistreat children, but in the week after being at TLC my son had reengaged with the new kids at his new daycare. He was scooting around laughing with the other kids and playing with the teacher. This is exactly how he interacted in his prior daycare. I am sure this review will send them through the roof, but it is all true. I am giving it 2 stars, cause the facility is nice.
