At 2 years of age we had to make the decision of taking our son to people we didn't know. Almost 4 years later and with a second son enrolled at bode babies we know we made the right choice. All the staff at bode babies treat our kids like family and do everything in their power to make sure our kids are safe and happy. The staff is always in a good mood and happy to see us and our kids. If we ever have questions they either have the answers or gather the information and have an answer for us within the week. Our kids are always happy to go to, as they call it school. I would recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a safe and reliable place for their children.

They were ok with me coming in to check on him during my breaks. He grew to love his teacher. Every time I bring him in he gives her a big hug and doesn't even mind that I leave. They are the nicest people ever..it feels like family. Want to give a big shout out to Usha and Jennifer! They are AWESOME!

We struggled with childcare for the first 2.5 years of our daughter's life and I was grappling with…read morepotentially having to quit my job until we found Goddard. My daughter is 4.5 now and I can't imagine her being anywhere else. From the first interview, everything about Goddard has been wonderful. I remember thinking during the interview it didn't seem possible that the director, Sue, really knew each kid individually like was being shown. I just didn't think a sense of care and community like that was possible given our previous experiences, but over time, I've seen that's just the way they do things here. That level of care is the way here at Goddard. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, and they know most if not all of the students by name whether they are in their class or not. My daughter has cycled through a few classes as she's aged and every single one has been great. She absolutely thrives at Goddard and loves everything about it; it's one of her favorite places to be. She has learned so much in her time here - growing leaps and bounds both intellectually and emotionally. They do so many fun activities and she asks me every morning what fun thing is in store that day - especially in summer! School leadership puts so much thought into fun and adventure for the kids. My daughter is well known, appreciated, safe, and loved, and we couldn't ask for anything more. She comes home every single day excited to tell us about her day, and excited to go back the next. She has one year left before kindergarten, and I'm honestly already heartbroken. If Goddard still offered kindergarten here, we would sign her up in a heartbeat. If we ever have more kids, enrolling them in Goddard will be one of the easiest decisions we'll make.

We brought our 1 year old in for a tour and was told he would be a great fit. I was given the…read morepaperwork to fill out and received a call the next day that the director wanted to talk to us. Before the tour I had spoken to them and told them that my son was in speech therapy. They were aware and said this wouldn't be a problem. When we came in to go through the paperwork the director told me that my son would not do well at their school and that he would need one on one care that they couldn't give, therefore he would "slip through the cracks". After observing him for 5-10 minutes she stated that she believes he is autistic and his mannerisms were all things that a child with autism demonstrates. She went on to give me pamphlets of places for him to get tested and schools for children with autism diagnosis. I let her know that the pediatrician had never once had a concern for autism and that he just had the speech delay. I left crying and embarrassed by the way we were treated. My son now goes to a new school and is thriving. He talks all the time and again has not been diagnosed with autism. I would never recommend this school to anyone. I believe they only want certain children and families who will boost the image of the school.

You will learn the material, but the organization, communication, and professionalism need significant improvement. It is not reflective of the medical field, training or professionalism required. For a fast-track CNA program lasting roughly two weeks, students need a reliable schedule and clear expectations. Instead, there were at least six last-minute schedule changes, many with less than 12 hours' notice, with most of these hours overnight. Examples include being told at 10:00 p.m. that a specific non-smart watch was required for 8:00 a.m. the next morning, extending the course several days over a holiday weekend shortly before class began, then changing the schedule again and ending early after students had already cancelled work or travel plans. There was also only one day of clinicals, which seems inadequate for such a hands-on field. Most concerning, students were publicly called out or embarrassed. One student's "punishment" for talking was being required to teach part of the class the next day. Paying students should be taught by the qualified instructor they enrolled with, not used as part of another student's punishment. An accelerated program requires flexibility, but students should still receive professional communication, advance notice of required supplies, adequate clinical experience, and a schedule that is respected.

My…read more3 year old daughter told me on different occasions that her teacher hit her in her back, bottom, and leg. When filling out my paperwork with Carol she tried to guide me to lie about my wages for the YWCA child care program and she filled in information on my paperwork on her own without my consent. When I first filled out my paper work with Carol she said that there are cameras in her classes, but when I requested to look at the surveillance for any incidents my daughter was involved in Carol told me that the cameras are not in the classroom because there is an issue with her daycare LICENSE. She told me she groups 3yr old's with 6yr old's because "she can". She doesn't let you speak with the teacher during parent/teacher conferences. Carol tried to tell me that she doesn't call meetings "Parent/ teacher" conferences , but on her fraudulent website that's exactly what they're called. I tried to request another conference so that my child's father can be present and Carol terminated her enrollment a day before the conference. I never told her the accusations my daughter told me up until I had to pick up her things. The teacher not being present at the conference and then my daughter being practically kicked out was all the proof I needed that what my daughter said was true. My daughter also stated that she was placed in timeout with both arms up and one leg up facing a wall. My daughter being hit in her leg by the teacher was because she can't balance on one leg for no more than a few seconds. I was never given any written reports or calls for the children hitting my daughter that happened in the morning times which involved my daughter crying ,only verbal at the time of pick (3:30-4:00) . I asked my daughter on different days at random times in between conversations and my 3yr old story never changed. You never know the teachers REAL name or anyone's last name. I asked Carol to point out the pictures of the teachers that was in the class when incidents happened and she did, but when I picked up my daughter things, all of those pictures were removed from the BILL BOARD. Carol was not in the classroom at the time of these incidents and I was not able to speak with the staff that was. If you love your child I would not even look at this illegal centers way. If you decide to put your child in this CATHOLIC church/school then maybe your child need a new set of parents.
