- ETEden Teague2 days ago5.0We have been very pleased with the Goddard School of Cumming (North). We have never worried about the level of care or attention our son has gotten which has been so important to us since he started going at a young age. All of his teachers have been wonderful and communicative, and the directors and owners are always welcoming and attentive to any questions we have. Our son is happy and thriving. He’s made friends and learned/experienced so much, and we feel really good about sending him there every day.
- RFRyan Flippo6 days ago5.0We switched to The Goddard School roughly 4 months ago and this choice has been amazing. The staff and everyone we interact on a daily basis is so engaging and nice. Wish we would have made the switch sooner.
- JLJazzmyne LindseyOct 27, 20251.0We toured Goddard of Cumming North on Friday with Nicci and she was nice even though she didn’t seem to have some of the answers to the questions I had, but I told her my situation and she was sure that Dimple the owner would accommodate or work with us with billing and that she would leave a note for her which led me to enrolling my son and paying the deposit. I get a call on today from Dinple stating that she can’t make the accommodations which is fine and that wasn’t the issue. Dimple (The owner) was very rude and condescending and I’m glad I got a chance to see first hand how she is before my son actually attended. I think she was being biased because there’s no way that Nicci was so sure of something only for Dimple to say otherwise. My son has attended the Goddard School in Suwanee and we didn’t have any issues so that was the reason why I chose another Goddard School closer to home thinking that the staff/owner would be just as friendly as our previous experience. I also noticed other things that I chose to overlook like the front door being unsecured. I would NOT recommend this daycare to anyone.
- KMKatie MaldonadoOct 15, 20255.0Teachers and staff are caring. My kids have both learned so much from Goddard. The school has been very responsive to my question. I know my kids are loved and receiving the education and care they need.
- CJCharles JonesSep 16, 20255.0My daughter is thriving here. She is excited to go to school every day. She's always talking about what she is learning and how much fun she has with her friends.
