My son attended Goddard on Perimeter Drive from the time he was 3 months old until he completed preschool at age 5. We have been extremely happy with the care, fun, learning, and friendships he received there. The teachers, staff, directors, and owner are consistently excellent. The place is clean, cheerful, and cozy, with lots of interesting toys, books, games, and other learning devices like the Promethean board, and wonderful playgrounds for all the age groups. The owner and her husband give the entire place a new coat of paint each Winter and ensure that everything is very well maintained. We received an electronic daily report with a photo every day, which was really nice. The teachers were very proactive about calling if there was ever a boo boo or concern. The teachers and staff are loving and fun but also provide very good structure to ensure the kids' safety. The people that work there genuinely seem happy to be there with the children and do an amazing job teaching them how to treat others kindly and fairly, how to express their feelings, how to pay attention in a classroom setting, and the academics that prepare them very well for kindergarten. Each day, the teachers had a plan and covered different topics in language, art, social interaction, movement, etc. in such a varied and interesting way that had a central theme each day and week. My favorite time was circle time. I sat in on a number of these throughout the years, and they were always so engaging and fun. Whenever I would pop into the classroom unannounced, I saw wonderful things happening, such as a simple game of "Hangman" to work on reading and spelling skills (pre-K classroom), a fun song and dance, or simply free play with a teacher actively supervising in a fun and friendly way. Outside opportunities are brought to this location, such as chess instruction (free), Soccer Shots, Tap and Tumble, a magic act once a year, a reptile guy once a year, a music lady once a year, and more. This Goddard location is simply excellent and very nurturing. My son is now in kindergarten and misses the kids and teachers at Goddard. To be honest, if I had to do it over, I would have stayed home with my son and quit work sooner (I quit when he completed their preschool graduation), because I do regret all the time that I spent working and away from him in his earliest years. However, as far as child care goes, outside of a loving parent, I feel Goddard on Perimeter Drive is the best choice. read more
