Having previously taken our daughter to another daycare in the Mason area, Goddard was such a…read morebreath of fresh air. The list of our complaints for our old daycare were quite lengthy. High turnover of staff, teachers don't have enough experience, forgetting/disregarding our daughters milk allergy, not report injuries, leaving her in the crib for too long, classroom size, age of kids in the classroom poor communication and impossible to give management negative feedback (they were quite defensive). It probably took my wife and WAY too long to switch daycares, we just kept wanting to work with them. We figured that the parent/daycare relationship required work and communication, but not matter how much we communicated things never improved. Finally after having our daughter in the daycare for almost a year, we decided to make the switch. BEST DECISION EVER. As I said before Goddard is such a breath of fresh air. I was just hoping a few things would improve, but every, single, thing on my list is not an issue at Goddard. I can't really say for sure why this is the case, but I have a few theories. For one, they are owner operated and the owners are always there. Literally every single morning I waive to one of the owners. Secondly, they require teachers with experience and often the teachers have a degree in child education. Finally, the communication from management is really good. They are forthright about every single thing. Whether a teacher leaves or our daughter bumps her head (both of which are unavoidable), we get calls, we get emails. The other part of Goddard that is quite impressive is the fact that hey have a curriculum and actually follow it. I think our old daycare claimed to have a curriculum but they were barely keeping our daughter alive, much less teaching her something. Goddard has taught our daughter some sign language, some words , to clean up after herself, how to use utensils, how to interact with other children, etc. I mean, even what I just listed is such a small representation of all the things they attempt to teach her. So far I've had two experiences with daycares, and the experiences couldn't be more polarized. I would give our other Mason daycare a "D-" (b/c they at least fed her and kept her alive) and I would definitely give Goddard an "A+."

My opinion of this daycare facility has changed drastically over the past few years, since it went…read moreunder new ownership. It saddens me it has come to this but the experience my son and family went through was detrimental enough that I need to do what I can to feel I've done my part to ensure no other family goes through it. You can have the best daycare teachers and directors, who may love your children like their own - but my family has unfortunately learned that if you have a bad daycare owner, what a huge impact it truly can have. I strongly urge any current or expectant parents to look in to your daycare owners' education and occupational background. If you see nothing about education or community or, even worse, only experience with financial planning, forecasting, portfolio analysis cost savings, control and auditing - please know their intentions are in the wrong place. They dont care about your family's relationship with the facility or even your child's well-being. You are a dollar sign. Having to part ways was heartbreaking because of the nearly decade-long relationships myself, husband, daughter and son had built with so many of the faculty and families. The bigger and quite frankly unacceptable issue we encountered, however, was blatant, documented lies on the part of the owner, that put our son's social and academic well-being in jeopardy. The change we have seen in my son's overall demeanor after only being at another school for a couple of weeks has been mind-blowing. I hate to shine a negative light on a place that meant so much to us for so long and still has many good people at it but, as a parent, I could not forgive myself if I knew I had an opportunity to prevent another child from being in this toxic environment and didn't do what I could the prevent it by sharing our experience.

My daughter attended KinderCare Symmes from 12 weeks to about 20 weeks old. She was in the small…read moreinfants room with the non-mobile babies. The first person I interacted with at KC was their director. She took me on a tour, showing me the infants room and telling me all the great things about KC. It was close to work and the director seemed great and that it why we chose to send our daughter there. Our experience was pretty rough from the start. The baby and I were both getting used to this new routine. I was trying not to be the typical overbearing mother and put my faith in the teachers/caregivers. One of my first negative experiences was in the first or second week there. I knew my daughter had been struggling a bit. I stopped in to see her on my lunch break and spoke with the main teacher and one of her helpers. They made it seem like she cried all day every day. They asked me if she was colicky and what kind of formula I was feeding her, etc. At home my daughter was very happy, slept well and didn't cry a lot at all so I found this conversation very disconcerting. I tried to continue the conversation with the main teacher when I picked up my little one that afternoon, and at that time she made it seem like my daughter was doing great and was totally adjusted to the new environment. This was confusing based on our previous conversation (that had totally stressed me out). I followed this up by emailing the director who never responded. In addition to the awkward, poor communication with the teacher, I had a bad interaction with the co-director. She called me about some paperwork and as I picked up the phone I could hear her complaining about someone (though I never figured out if it was about me or my daughter or sometime else entirely). It was completely unprofessional. In addition to these interactions I saw the infant room over ratio at least a handful times in the two months we were there. There were older infants and toddlers all over the small infants room, exposing the babies to more germs than they should have been (sometimes touching the babies because the teachers couldn't reign them all in). The main teacher seemed very stressed out a lot of the time. Her assistants were never consistent (different people there a lot, at both drop off and pick up). It honestly just felt very chaotic. Now that I've laid out my experience and why we left I will lay out some of the pluses... The teachers and director were very nice. While communication could certainly use improvement I do think they did well under the circumstances. I really liked one of the assistants who I believe worked in the older infants room full time but helped in the small infants room in the morning. KC (or at least this location) also provides their own diapers and wipes, which was pretty big perk. They also provided formula if you didn't mind to ask them for it (you still have to bring the formula home and prepare bottles every day). And they work with many companies to give an employee discounts. I'm sure childcare is an extremely challenging field to work in. I didn't walk away with any personal negative feelings for the people who work here. A lot of the challenges we faced are likely typical of any childcare organization. But I wanted a smaller, calmer environment and more personal care for my daughter so for us KC didn't work out.

I haven't even fully finished enrolling my kids and I'm super excited for them to be there! I was…read moreactually putting them in a different daycare but when I called they said that they had no record of my kids being enrolled there and put me on hold for 5 mins and came back and said they found the paperwork but from that point forward I had a bad feeling. Why would I leave my kids with someone that can't even find their papers? So I found this kindercare, and I'm honestly soooo happy things worked out the way they did, they classrooms are spacious, they offer more activities and things to do, and their playground looks super fun, my kids have never been in daycare and I was nervous but they settled all that and now I'm super confident and excited for my kids to be going here! I'll have a infant and toddler there. Very organized and clean and spacious.
