We love the Goddard School at Spring Harmony! It’s a beautiful campus that provides so many opportunities for our son to learn. Their entire staff, from director to teachers, are all so knowledgeable and professional when it comes to childcare. Our son’s teacher, Miss Judy, is so kind and patient and always makes our son feel safe and welcome in her classroom. 10/10 recommend that people bring their kiddos here.

We have been enrolled at The Goddard School of Spring-Harmony for the past three years, and I wanted to share our experience. With a 3-year-old and twin 13-month-olds, finding the right program is essential, and I’m pleased to say we’ve seen significant improvements recently.
In the last two months, under the leadership of the new director, Ms. Yolanda, the organization, attention to academics, and overall professionalism have noticeably improved. While we always appreciated the staff, there were some gaps that needed addressing, and Ms. Yolanda has made that a priority.
There has been a rise in parent engagement and family activities that focus on connecting with the staff and understanding their plans for our children’s development. This has helped us feel more connected to the school community. Our children come home clean and ready for pick-up, reflecting the care they receive throughout the day.
The curriculum has evolved impressively as well. The work our kids bring home showcases their learning and development, reinforcing our decision to stay. We are genuinely excited about the school’s progression and look forward to what the coming months will bring.
Overall, we are grateful for the positive changes at The Goddard School of Spring-Harmony and would highly recommend it to other families.

Our daughter is in the first steps class with Ms Judy and we absolutely love her! Our daughter started early July and it has only been about 5-6 months but we are extremely happy and comfortable.
Not only does Ms Judy take extremely good care of our little one but she also loves going to school because of Ms Judy.
We have seen her progress in development with walking, saying more words, identifying pictures.
We feel so comfortable dropping her off to Ms Judy. I can also see how my daughter is much more disciplined now. This is exactly what we wanted for her in a school.

Unfortunately, I have to change my review, previous review was made by request after we first got there. The school accidently left 19 month old locked in classroom with lights off for over 10 min. Will give New Director credit for self reporting to licensing authority. Issues like this happen due to continuous disregard for standard level of care. I have on multiple occasions asked about the ratio of babies to staff. No attempt to correct has taken place and they finally got caught in audit. Previous issues in past have been swept under the rug so on paper the school looks great. Schools goal is to provide legal minimum level of care while demanding premium childcare fees.
