- ASAshlyn StofanNov 15, 20245.0Great staff and great curriculum! My kids have learned so much at Goddard.
- JTJason TierneyJun 26, 20245.0My daughter Piper had the privilege of attending the Goddard School in Fuquay for 3 years. The entire staff is wonderful. Every teacher my daughter had was caring. Carla and Ada run and great place. Katie is always willing to answer a question or help in any way. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe and educational environment to place their child.
- JKJennifer KerrJun 30, 20221.0To say this graduation was a total disappointment is an understatement. The teachers played their parts and thank you for them… The lack or poor planning you could not see all the children with the teachers standing in front of them while the show went on as much money that’s spent on our tuition here to sit in a parking lot was very upsetting. Sorry this was a BIG disappointment…
- LLlomcdanielAug 29, 20152.0I have been waiting several months to write this review because honestly I hate writing bad reviews. But my toddler was miserable here, cried often at drop off and regressed badly in his potty training very quickly. After personally seeing a event that happened on the playground with a teacher and another student in his class I could see why. Just listen to your kids if they go here. If they seem miserable they very well could be. It's very expensive and my husband, mother in law and I all had concerns very early on about the demenor or the teachers and directors. I paid for one extra month and pulled him and put him in a different center in Apex and he loves it! He has really blossomed and become very self sufficient and productive his speech has improved and he talks about school often and can't wait to go back. He even says he loves his teachers bery bery much. So all's I can say about this center is it may give an educational boost (I did not see that) but my child was miserable and regressed quickly after attending. He was only two at the time of being in this center after six months at his new center its amazing how different things are and how even daddy enjoys going in to do pick ups and drop off because they are so easy and its fun to see him flourish in a new environment.
