Our daughter has been very comfortable and happy at Goddard. We couldn't ask for more. Alex and Drew also pay attention and give us as parents comfort in knowing our child is in good hands.

My son went here 2 years ago and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I have a court order that holds my child’s father liable for half of the daycare payment. While I paid my amounts in full and on time, the other party did not.
I wanted to bring my son back to the daycare but Samantha Elliott (the owner) is attempting to hold me responsible for a balance that is not mine. She just wants her money (rightfully so but not my balance) especially when in a court agreement that she agreed to prior to my son starting.
I’ve been speaking back and forth with an Alex who is incredibly rude and laughed on the phone when I just asked for my attorney to get in touch with their attorney to hopefully sort out the legal agreement. She shared the name and then refused to re-state the name/provide any information.
They’ve also have lied for weeks about the owner calling me back and she refuses. Highly unprofessional.
I’ve offered to go into an agreement to be solely responsible for payments/not use the court agreement and even pay a month in advance or whatever fee is necessary to start my son back. They won’t allow it.
I do not recommend.
Edit to owner response: you all knew the agreement before allowing my son to attend. It the balance was due from the other party, why did you all let it continue to climb and not address the issue per the court order?
At the time, I withdrew my child 2 years ago because daycare was no longer needed. When I attempted to re-enroll him now that we need care again, all of a sudden there’s a balance that was unpaid. They have made 0 attempts to collect their amount owed to the rightful party in a court order. This isn’t a mutual agreement. It’s a COURT order you all had copies of before we ever went through with enrollment.
