Do NOT send your children here, especially before they can tell you what is going on. The infant…read moreroom is an absolute disaster. Every single time I go in there to pick up my daughter, there are multiple babies red in the face, basically choking they are crying so hard with no acknowledgement from the staff. I understand that they can't tend to babies every time they cry right away, but there is NO EXCUSE to why they are being completely ignored and neglected for over 10 minutes while I am there. The staff don't even pretend they care when I am around, so I wonder what happens when none of the parents are around. I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first couple times as I know it is a hard job to be caring for multiple babies, but I have more children in full time daycare and have NEVER experienced anything like this before. My child's first day there, she got scratched in the face "by a friend". How are you allowing the babies that can crawl and walk to be around my newborn long enough to claw her in the face? It is also extremely expensive and you can basically pay someone for 1:1 care for the amount that they charge per hour while they can have up to like 12 babies in there at once!

While this wasn't our favorite daycare (we're foster parents so we've experienced some others), it…read morewas fine up until a month or so ago when we started to notice some issues with race at this daycare. After multiple instances, we got to the point that we didn't feel it was appropriate to be bringing our child to this daycare. The staff is almost entirely white and it is definitely reflected in the way they disregard parent concerns about race and racism. More frustratingly, when we expressed concerns about these issues (they ranged from touching/doing our kiddo's hair to the way they handle discussions about policing), this center chose to call Children's Services rather than to have a conversation with us about it. We called and spoke to corporate and they seemed to acknowledge this wasn't okay, but not sure what happened beyond that. Furthermore, since then most of the office staff has refused to even look at or acknowledge my wife and I, to the point that I've witnessed office staff hurriedly running out of the office when we arrived or asking others nearby to hand us papers rather than just... handing them to us. I think this might be great for some parents, but I personally would never put another Black or Latinx child in this daycare (or any child, but especially kids of color), at least until they seriously revisit their policies and have some substantial training around how to work with/support minority children in ways that make them safer, rather than in ways that could potentially put them at risk of harm.

I have to disagree with the negative post indicating that this childcare facility has racist staff…read moremembers or isnt welcoming for children of any ethnic background. The Goddard School has been wonderful for my child. I always feel that he is safe, well taken care of, that the facility is clean, and that all children, regardless of race are welcome. My son is not of entirely white descent, and I have never felt like he us treated any differently than any other child in the classroom. Yes, the staff is primarily white, but we are in North Ridgeville, OH and when compared to local diversity, I would stay the staff is reflective of that. I have seen children of all races in my child's classroom as well as when when dropping off or picking up my child, all of whom appear happy, healthy, and their parents demeanor is the same. If you're looking for a place that you can feel comfortable bringing your child, feel confident in The Goddard School. Unless our life situation changes, I don't foresee my child attending any other school before he starts Kindergarten.
