The Goddard School of Marietta (Trickum Road)

"We absolutely adore Goddard. We've moved a bit, so we've experienced daycares in Florida, Utah and now Georgia. While we've had good experiences at our other schools, we've never fallen in love like we have with Goddard. The school is exactly what you dream a daycare will look like - bright, warm, friendly. The director enthusiastically welcomes each child by name. The teachers don't miss a beat with the kids in their room. We are proud to be a part of the Goddard community and cannot say enough good things about our experience."

"Our daughter has attended Goddard since she was 8 weeks old. She is about to turn 2, my wife and I have nothing but good things to say about this school. We are two parents working full time jobs, and never have to worry that she is in good hands. Staff and management have always been very communicative and professional. We have no doubt we made the right choice."

"Our family loves the Goddard school! We are so happy to be somewhere trusted and safe while also having educational and fun programming! The teachers and staff are amazing, highly recommend!"

"I don't know where to start. Brielle, the owner is always on site. Mrs. Porsha is always smiling and greeting. Teachers are knowledgeable and supportive. My son Emir, 4 years old, did not have any school experience before. It was a struggle for me to find the best school for him to learn how to learn while loving it. Since day 1, we had positive experience with the improvement on writing skills, and everything you can think of to get Emir ready for kindergarten. We are currently relocating to Europe due to personal issues, and once we're back- Goddard at Marietta will be our first stop again. Thank you so much for all you do, and making us feel like part a family. Best, Meral Family."

"I am saddened to have post something less than positive. How ever i feel that The Goddard School has a Duty to protect as well as educate the children who attend there. I have two son's and the first went there a for a little over a year for Pre-K and did quite well. My youngest son now goes there as well, hoping to have the same experience. Unfortunately that has not been the case, I know they have had a recent change in ownership and some of the previous teachers are now gone. I cannot say that those play a factor into what has happened lately. However there does seem to be a lack in communication from the owner/manager. My son who recently moved up in his class from Blossom to Sweet Peas, has had several incidents. He has been bitten, left in dirty diapers, and more recently had another incident with a diaper genie that gave him a nice little booboo. I understand babies will bite other babies as they are learning to socialize and communicate, the issue could have been avoided after the third time. This happened multiple times and my son was bitten in three different places in the same day at one point. The second incident which has happened also more than once, is arriving to pick him up and finding him with soaked dirty diapers on, to be clear, I mean he has peed multiple times to the point where his clothes was wet in pee. Furthermore, the latest incident where he hurt his finger in a diaper genie. Placed in a poor spot, but more importantly could have been prevented if the teachers were paying closer attention. The Curriculum Director and the Operations Director have apologized and have stated changes will be made, and to be fair there was a third teacher to prevent the biting and that has now stopped. However I have yet to hear from the owner, I have asked and been told that she will reach out, kids safety and communication are important to her. When I picked up my son earlier, I was greeted with "I was told this is for you...I don't know what happened", I said to her I'm sure you don't since you all don't really communicate here". Her response "yeah, well I'm not his teacher". I hope this response is seen and they implement an action plan to improve upon the lacking standard The Goddard School has shown of lately."
