We've been at Goddard for a little over a year now and love it more and more by the day! It was so…read morehard for me to drop my first born off with strangers at such a young age, but from the beginning Goddard has been nothing but kind and loving towards him. As a teacher myself, I appreciate the emphasis they put on education, as he has learned more than I could have ever imagined. The entire staff is constantly going above and beyond each and every week to make learning a BLAST. It is super apparent that creating a fun learning environment is a high priority. A few other things to note is their top notch communication efforts. We are always in the know about every thing! As well as the diversity, which can be hard to find in this area. I love that my son gets to celebrate our traditions while also learning about cultures different than his. Lastly, my son is HIGH ENERGY and can be a lot at times. The entire staff at Goddard has never once made us feel like he is a burden, in fact quite the opposite. They have always welcomed his energy with open arms and big smiles, which is huge for me! I love seeing him so happy to run into school every day! Thank you to everyone at Goddard Winward for taking such good care of our kiddo!

I toured and signed up for a 4 day spot at the Goddard School (Windward Pkwy). I was required to…read morepay a deposit fee plus an entire month's tuition up front to secure my spot ($1700 total). 24 hours later I received a message from the school I was on a waitlist for that a 5 day spot was now available, which is what we really needed. I explained to Goddard management that the other school was 5 min from my house, less expensive, and most importantly had a 5 day spot available. I asked if I could at least get some of my money back given the circumstances. They refused to give me back ANY of the $1700 deposit despite the fact that they only had it for less than 48 business hours. My child never even visited the school. They claimed that I could have taken a spot from someone else. I paid them Thursday afternoon and informed them Monday morning about my change of plans. If someone visited Friday who wanted that spot, am I really supposed to believe they couldn't have contacted them immediately on Monday to let them know about an opening? I reached out again and was told they never filled the spot. So if you couldn't fill that spot anyway, why couldn't I get even half of my money back? It's not like we took someone else's spot (according to them anyway). The school we ended up joining didn't require any deposit to secure my spot, and the owner purposely enrolls less students than the GA requirement to provide a better and more nurturing environment. My son has about 13 kids in his class vs. the 20+ children in the Goddard class. It's clear that the owner is all about money and posting on social media. I am so happy we found a better place for my child.

It was a bit of a transition since the crawler class is so much bigger than the infant class but he has so much room to crawl and explore now and Ms. Emma and Ms. Sherea are amazing! So attentive and caring and are always open to feedback and to chat about my baby. I can rest assured my little dude is well taken care of while I'm at work. Phase is a state of the art facility with brand new rooms, toys, furniture, etc and it's huge. The kids have so much room to play and explore, it's gorgeous. I've toured many daycares in the area and this one is by far the nicest and newest. They sanitize everything daily and the rooms are always sparkling clean in the morning when I drop my baby off. The front desk staff is always so friendly and sweet and the director has always been easy to reach for us. We love it here! I will say it's on the expensive side, but they feed the kids healthy, delicious and a wide variety of stuff - 2 meals and 2 snacks a day; their facility is constantly clean; they're open for almost 11 hours a day and they care for my baby like a family member would so I'd say it's worth it if you can afford it.

She goes above and beyond in her teaching and it really shows. The kids learn so much while still having so much fun every day. Our son would come home excited to tell us about what he learned, even teaching his older sister new things! He absolutely loved going to school, made great friends, and even begged to stay for summer camp. For graduation he came home with a photo book the teachers made of all of the fun events and memories from the year. It's such a sweet keepsake and he loves to look back on it. We're so grateful for the positive and engaging environment Ms. Stephanie and the whole team provide. Highly recommend!

My Son has been a thriving student at Brookside Academy since September 2015…read more Our Son came into our lives with very little preparation. The day after he came home with us, we had an appointment at a local church daycare. They assured us he would have a spot in April when I returned to work after my leave. In the end we had to find something at the last minute. As teachers we had the summer to do research. We visited quite a few places. We found Brookside Academy and the moment we called they told us to come right over. Unlike many of the other places, the staff was warm and welcoming. The children looked happy and loved. The facility was clean and well maintained. When our Son started in September of 2015, he had a helmet he had to wear on particular schedule and they didn't even flinch. He ended up not needing the helmet nearly as long because of their attention to detail. When he was getting a rash from the cleaners they use to sterilize the changing pad, they changed their protocol in changing him to make sure he didn't come in contact with that cleaner. They also searched and found a cleaner that was just as effective in killing the germs but was gentler for skin. He has loved every teacher he has had so far. On Monday he started in his third room and his first day being the youngest child in the room went off without a hitch. My child turned two this past weekend and can count almost to 20. He knows his Alphabet, his colors, is working on letter recognition, lots of songs, potty training, and most of all kindness and empathy. Our whole family couldn't be happier. We love Brookside!

Staff at St. Aiden's made my child's first day of preschool a living nightmare…read more Upon picking my child up from his first day of school he informed me that another child had hit him. I approached his teacher, Ms. Patty, and asked to speak with her in regards to this matter. Once I told Ms. Patty what my son had told me she instantly became very defensive. She immediately came to the other child's defense and straight out accused my son of lying. I asked her how they handle altercations between children and her response was "typically we would speak to both students and their parents BUT it didn't happen." After several minutes of being accused of lying I decided to leave with my son. Not only did this upset my son but it also tainted the image I had portrayed of how teachers are supposed to be. Supportive, friendly and trustworthy. Our experience with Ms. Patty was none of the above. To make matters worse, minutes after leaving the facility I received an extremely aggressive email from the director, Julie. She did not ask me any questions about the conversation that took place. Instead, she came to Ms. Patty's defense and threatened to kick my son out. Given the experience we had on our son's first day, my husband and I agreed we were not comfortable leaving our son in their care. Leaving us no choice, we removed our son from this preschool. We let the director know our decision and requested a full refund. We were only given a PARTIAL refund and were still charged fees. Nothing was explained to us and no further contact was made by the school. I made the mistake of assuming this preschool was a warm, inviting environment due to it being linked to a church. I was sadly mistaken. Patty was extremely bias and made my child feel embarrassed, unheard and unworthy. Julie, the director, turned around and did the same to me.
