The Goddard School

Bright, cheerful appearance belies cranky teachers, insufficient and inaccurate communication, inconsistent disciplinary procedures and lax education. Would not recommend this school.

Goddard was a pretty good school for the earlier years, although I couldn't say that the teachers are overly loving toward the kids. Most of them treat this like a job, and although I realize that it IS a job, you still want your child to feel loved and special. There are lots of toys and learning activities, but children are permitted to either participate or not. Little kids shouldn't be given this choice because they will play all day, and that is exactly what the boys (especially) do. I could have paid a babysitter a whole lot less to sit and watch my child play with cars and blocks. Very little actual learning going on, despite what they promise.
