The Goddard School

Our son was one of the first children at this location when it opened. In those first few years we absolutely loved the tight knit community and attention to detail the staff and directors offered. However as we now enter our child's third year at the school with numerous staff and leadership turnover we utilize this school more out of convenience than personal choice. There have been several instances of miscommunication from leadership with our family. Even more concerning, is the notable leadership turnover in such a short period of time. Unfortunately there is not a standard practice in place for routine class transitions which allow children of the same age an equal opportunity to access all learning tools which the school prides itself on. It's extremely disappointing to see such obvious stagnation and regression in our child's classroom engagement and learning for what appears to be the sake of appeasing incoming families on waitlists or special circumstances. I do hope moving forward the school is able to put in place more concrete class groupings so that all children are afforded an equal opportunity to engage and excel in their pivotal early learning years with the developmentally appropriate materials and tools the school has to offer.

I was trying to decide between primrose and Goddard but the tour given by Christina Ivie helped me make the decision to stick to Primrose. Did not ask to see my ID and did not introduce herself. Felt unwelcome - not sure if she was busy or she assumed we couldn't afford the school based on our physical Appearance.

The Goddard School is wonderful! The teachers are amazing and the staff at the front desk are friendly and welcoming. We love being a part of the goddard family!
