- NBNiambi BrownOct 14, 20255.0Best in class, from leadership to classroom staff, this school is focused on educating the whole child and supporting the families along the way. It’s like leaving your child with family, while the focus is developing academic and social skills that help them thrive.

- JWjada wigginsJul 15, 20251.0I am writing to express my profound disappointment and concern regarding my son's recent experience at this school. He contracted hand, foot, and mouth disease while attending your school. This was a completely new and distressing illness for him, causing significant discomfort and suffering for a full week. What is particularly concerning is the school's response to this situation. Despite the clear evidence that my son contracted the illness at your facility, I encountered resistance and attempts to downplay the school's role in the transmission. This lack of transparency and forthrightness is deeply troubling. A school should prioritize the health and well-being of its students, and actively cooperate with parents in addressing such situations. Instead, we experienced a dismissal of our concerns, which I find completely unacceptable. Beyond this specific incident, I have consistently observed a lack of courtesy and professionalism from some staff members. This behavior is not conducive to a positive learning environment and undermines the trust parents should have in your school. The behavior of the owner has mirrored this concerning pattern. Given the combination of my son's illness, the inadequate response from the school administration, and the ongoing issues with staff conduct, I have made the difficult decision to withdraw my son from [School Name]. His safety and well-being are my paramount concerns, and I cannot in good conscience allow him to continue attending an institution where such conditions prevail. I expect a formal response outlining the steps you will take to prevent similar incidents in the future, and to improve the overall conduct and professionalism of your staff.
- YMYinka MabawonkuJan 10, 20191.0The experience of sending your child to the school may not turn out to be a rewarding one,most especially of your child has a special need. The child need to interact with his/her peers and the teacher. All these have turned out to be disappointment and failure on the part of the school. My child went for the first time,(friday)only for me to be called back on the phone after some hours to come pick her up because she was reported not cooperating which is ridiculous.she went back on Monday and Tuesday and they keep calling me to pick her up. Further more, ridiculous adjectives such as aggressive, destructive, hurting was used to describe her.(3years old) which is quite too hurting. After much talk with the person in charge (Lauren)her attitudes shows no iota of care for the the little child and ultimately demonstrated her lack of experience.
- SDSamantha DennyMay 11, 20165.0Our son has been at Goddard Austell since he was 6 weeks old. From Day 1 the team of teacher and administrators has made us comfortable with leaving our child. The infant room teachers are very knowledgeable and have helped us as we navigate the world of parenthood for the first time. They take lots of pictures and are always presenting us with his "artwork". I love that he is so happy and well loved while he is away from us!
