- TGTashanne GordonSep 14, 20235.0Though being a new parent I didn’t know the proper questions to ask. Some mishaps did happen. I’m still ranking a 10 because the teachers, other staff, communication and just overall experience since starting have been amazing. Everyone adores our daughter and takes such good care of her. She lights up every day when we arrive. To know she is in good hands and learning and thriving is the most amazing feeling in the world as a first time mother. Day one was so hard but everyone was so sweet and empathetic. I am honestly so grateful we chose Goddard.
- KAKari AndrenNov 16, 20205.0Our daughter has attended The Goddard School in Linglestown for three years and we couldn't be happier! The facilities, teachers and staff are top-notch. She has loved every teacher she's had there and she bounds out of the car, eager to get inside every day! We are so impressed with their curriculum, parental communication, effective discipline/classroom management and, more recently, their health and safety precautions. We are so thankful every day that our daughter is getting a fabulous education, having fun and making friends. Cannot recommend highly enough!
- AMAfaq MohamedMar 11, 20191.0The daycare owner is great person she know how to promote for her business, but unfortunately the teachers are not and even they're not welcoming the kid in the classroom and they are not doing any effort for comfort in the child . In 3 years old class they put ur child in dipper and the excuse for that to prevent any accident , even if you requeste not . My advice for ever mom had child with special needs do not don't put ur child with them he is not going to have any attention. The worst is the director when I told her that I will withdraw my son from the daycare, she didn't asked me about the reason why??? She just care about the fees of the month , which shocked me that I know it's business but you deal with human beings.
