- NPNoha PhillipsAug 13, 20252.0While we liked the part-time options available and the convenient location of this Goddard, there were more negative factors that led to our decision not to enroll our son there. The environment seems highly chaotic and unstructured, which was reflected in our interactions with the directors. After we toured the facility, it was impossible to get a hold of anyone there. We sent multiple emails and followed up by phone calls/voicemails and never heard back. Additionally, there seems to be high teacher turnover, which was confirmed by a mutual friend who pulled their daughter out after only one month.
- EJEva JannottaJun 26, 20255.0We're very happy with the teachers, activities and enrichment, and communication with the school. Staff and teachers have been flexible and attentive. I love that they offer different levels of enrollment and don't require M-F (except for infants up to 12 months). I also love the outdoor space and all the activities. Our son has learned a ton.
- KEK S (Enilder)Nov 11, 20245.0Excellent teachers and staffs work here. The level of transparency and info availability throughout the day are exceptional compared to other places. In addition, the location is convenient! Looking forward to another year!
