My son came home one day with a severe diaper rash to where his skin was raw and my poor baby was walking with his legs spread apart and crying saying that his butt hurt. He would also have knots on his head, bruises, scratches and bite marks on him when he got home. My husband and I would take turns picking up my son and normally around the same time. But one day I got out of work early and decided to pick him up earlier than I usually do (about 1hr earlier than usual). As I was walking in the hallway to my son's class I co... read more

We’ve been at this Goddard school for over a year now and have been very happy so far! ETA: my oldest has been here for almost 2 years now and my youngest for 1 year, we are still very happy with this Goddard school. The owners are very caring and it shows. Sometimes you see turnover with teachers/assistant teachers but I understand it’s hard in this industry. There are teachers who have been there for years who love my kids and it is such a comfort.
