The Goddard School of Apex

"Goddard School at Apex caused a huge stress in our lives. One day, child protection service officer called me that there is a complaint against me. As you can imagine, this was quite unsettling. I went through the interview patiently. I was told that the complaint was done by the Goddard School. The complaint was that I take walks with my younger child, without taking my elder child with me, and this was suspicious. I had been doing this for more than a year. So what had happened? What had happened a few days before that was that I had a disagreement with the director. The CPS officer, after satisfying herself by asking me all kind of questions, told me that they have received complaints like this in the past. Based on their feedbacks, they have realized that Goddard is very nice to the parents at the time of enrollment. A year or two after that, on any disagreement, they use one parent against the other. Or if they don't like something about you, they complain to the social service, on some pretext. By this time , the parents cannnot make the children go through a disruptive change, by changing the school. The school is obviously expert in human behavior, and has calculated this in its "art" of keeping the parents in check. The parents then start "working with" the school. She finally told me that the CPS service check is routine, and she will get back. The service was called off in about a month and a half. It was not actually called off. Only when I checked back with them, I received a mail stating "no services required". Needless to say, that month and a half, I was fighting with my own worst fears. I just prayed this to go away. Please make your choice very carefully with this Goddard. --- REPLY FROM GODDARD: There are certainly "other aspects" to these claims that do not need to be addressed publicly. MY RESPONSE: In that case, I consent for you to reveal your complaint against me to the CPS. Your uprightness will be appreciated by prospective parents."

"Even after moving 45 mins away, we still decided to keep our son at the Goddard School. His teachers are nurturing, super supportive and very observant of each child’s learning individuality. They set goals for my son to be prepared for Kindergarten next year and I’ll forever be grateful for their hard work and dedication. The entire staff and administration team is phenomenal!! They’re welcoming, helpful, responsive and careful to ensure that they’re families are happy and healthy."

"We have loved our time at the Goddard School for our two children. We have been enrolled for over three years and have had a great experience. The staff and teachers are wonderful. Our children were always happy to be there, and excited to tell us about the things they did at school when they came home. We have been pleased with the curriculum. I highly recommend the Goddard School."

"Goddard has done an amazing job taking care of our little girl. she absolutely loves her teachers, and the staff does an excellent job communicating with us. They are also great teachers; everyday our girl shows us something new she learned at school."

"We’ve been very happy with the team and with our experience at the Goddard School. Our son started at age 1 and the transition from at home care was seamless. We feel he is well cared for, engaged, and challenged, and most importantly he barely looks back during drop-off!"
