The last thing is that it teaches religion but not too much a good amount not too much or too little. So it's a great school not the best like four stars I think.

This school removes negative reviews to inflate their rating on Facebook. My family did not have a…read morepositive experience and we want to share this experience with others so additional families do not face the treatment we did. Our infant was averaging 3 accident reports a week (see my husband's review and profile photo of a black eye and mark on his forehead which he suffered during the morning at the school. We were not alerted about this until the afternoon. On the same day they sent home his lunch untouched.) The school director in her email to our family after this series of problems cracked the following joke and wrote in her email "I hope he is sleeping peacefully and ate a full dinner." School leadership was unprofessional and bullying toward our family, and upon further investigation we found MANY families who had recently left or been "asked to leave" due to the mismanagement of this childcare facility. Being a "true" Montessori does not excuse unprofessional behavior and safety concerns of our child. The director herself is not AMI certified. Another family had their child receive the wrong mother's breast milk and the director made a joke about this incident as well. Many negative reviews have been removed due to similar complaints and at least two of the reviews still active are from board members of the school who's children no longer attend.

As we have moved, we have attended 2 other centers that just can't compare to Goddard's curriculum and care level. First of all, Tammy (the Director) is absolutely top-notch. She is knowledgeable, open, and kind. The teachers are fantastic & so caring. Everyone knows my kids names in that school, it blows my mind. My girls absolutely love their teachers & can't wait to go to school each day. I should also point out that one of my daughters attends Special Education classes at Wayzata Early Learning Center 3 days a week & Tammy even met with our case worker to ensure they were collaborating on how to best serve her learning style. Tammy is always willing to advocate for my child's best care, even when there is extra work involved. I guess the best way to describe this place is above and beyond. They create sensory activities, hire special entertainment guests for the kiddos, host 'Parents Night Out' events...we are continuously impressed. They also use an app that allows you to see fun pictures of your kids throughout the day & get a digital summary of the days activities. Everything just feels so well run, we never 'worry' about our kids there. My guilt as a working mom has melted away. I definitely encourage you to tour Goddard if you are thinking about it. Our only regret is that we didn't find them sooner.

He has learned so much from their curriculum and also has so much fun everyday, he is all smiles when i pick him up! He is so loved there by all the teachers and they put so much effort into taking care of each kids different needs. My son is very shy and even after going there for a year and a half, he is shy in the mornings (until I've been gone for about 30 seconds then he's happy as a clam!) so the teachers have all done special things to make him comfortable until I'm gone and it has helped so much! I feel like they go way above and beyond to care for my son! Very happy with Goddard Medina!

My daughter has felt loved and supported and has grown into a curious and kind kindergartener thanks to Ms. Tahzeem's guidance and warm heart over the last year. At 5 yrs old, my daughter already has a huge lexicon of sight words and can read and write surprising well for her age, thanks to all of the teachers in Childhouse 1. Jessica Winsdor, the school director, is an absolute delight with kids and parents alike, and is phenomenal at her job. Jessica keeps parents informed, everything running smoothly and has a genuine caring relationship with all the kids. I highly recommend Step by Step - Wayzata!
