The staff at Goddard is everything a mother could hope for in a caregiver — compassionate, trustworthy, and nurturing. They make it easy to leave your child knowing they’re in the best hands.

About four years ago, there was a Dominican or Puerto Rican woman working here (I’m not sure which). While she acted friendly with the adults and staff, she was cruel to the children. She would get angry easily, speak harshly to them, and used inappropriate and offensive language toward the little ones.
I sincerely hope this woman is no longer working with children anywhere.
I never spoke up before out of fear, but now that I’m a mother, I cannot stay silent about child mistreatment.
I still wonder how the owner never noticed — were the cameras ignored? Or did the other caregivers turn a blind eye?
Children deserve kindness, patience, and safety. I hope this review serves as a reminder that what happens behind closed doors matters, and someone is always watching.

As working parents, we feel blessed to be able to drop our daughter off and know she’s safe and loved by people who truly care about her wellbeing and development. It’s such a good feeling when you know the teachers love your child and your child loves them right back. Our daughter is learning so much and she loves being there. We are so happy we chose Goddard.
