The Goddard School of Jackson Township

"We Love the Goddard School!! Very clean with great staff and very welcoming environment. It’s wonderful seeing my 2.5 year old get excited about going to “school”. The teachers really make an effort to engage the with the kids. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to Mrs. Liz and the whole team at The Goddard School for everything they do. I would recommend this place to everyone with little ones."

"We’ve had an awesome experience with Goddard! Would highly recommend to those that not only want childcare, but education and activities focused on development. Our son is now in Kindergarten and he was beyond prepared educationally and socially to be in school. The teachers have taken such great care of these kids and the front office staff are always very helpful and responsive to feedback. Highly recommend!!"

"My kids have been apart of The Goddard School family for the past 2 years and we love it! My daughter (almost 4) started in the toddler room and is now in the Pre-School room and my son (almost 2) started in the infant room and is now in the pre-toddler room, so they've grown and learned so much at Goddard over the years. Their teachers all go above and beyond to make sure they are safe, clean, happy, and learning. I get daily updates of their activities and it almost always comes with a picture of them during the lessons! Even in the infant room, my son was learning and exploring from their curriculum. I get complemented often on how smart and polite my kids are and I attribute a lot of that to this school.They are at school 5 days a week and I feel very comfortable taking my kids to Goddard every day! It really feels like a family as all the teachers know my kids by name and greet them when coming and going, even teachers my kids have not had! I recommend this school to anyone looking for a daycare in the area!"

"My daughter is in the infant room where basic care is expected. She has severe diaper rash almost weekly from sitting in poop for hours. I have tried to address this with management on many occasions and I even called the corporate office for help. I actually had to take off work so that I could stay home with her to heal because the rash was so bad she was swollen almost bleeding. There is definitely child neglect going on with these poor babies. I can't leave and find something else quick enough."

"I heavily debated posting this review, but I figured it would help others and maybe make a positive change. Our overall experience here was okay. Our daughter was in the infant classroom 3 days a week. It was about 50/50 I would pick her up and found her upset or crying. One time sitting on the floor by herself crying so hysterically it was clear she had been ignored for a while. The teachers seemed overwhelmed and under staffed. Both of our two infant classroom teachers told me they quit, on the same day, which was concerning. There was never any notice sent out, or a notice of who the teacher(s) who would be replacing them would be, no follow up with plan of care (this is our first baby so we really like to know who’s taking care of her). Communication was subpar. Staff is mostly young in the infant classroom. These babies need some older, more experienced teachers in the mix. Like I said, she was taken care of but I didn’t feel ecstatic about leaving her there. Good things - they are flexible with schedules, tuition cost, and overall friendly and the facility is clean and well kept. I would recommend the school vet more experienced staff, retain quality teachers, and work to increase infant teacher ratio. It makes a huge difference. And work on communication and transparency. Thank you."
