The Goddard School of Cary

After having my first child and deciding to go back to work we visited many daycares and didn’t get the warm and fuzzy feeling as we did when we visited the Goddard school. The Director at the time said all the right things; however, shortly after we started she left. The teachers my son had in the infant class were the absolute best, I love them and he did too! They took great care of my son. However, they have since left, and I don’t get the same warm and fuzzy feeling anymore. My son still loves it, and his teachers are good but they don't connect with him as well as his other teachers. He has had some behavior issues which are normal for a 2 year old and I am not really pleased with the way it was handled. They have lost some great teachers over the last year that has affected the vibe of the school. We have been thinking about finding him another school.

My 2 year old daughter started at The Goddard School recently and she loves it. They have a great environment for learning and they do a great job of keeping her active and interested throughout the day. The front door is secured with a keypad for security, and the owner and usually multiple staff can see the front door at all times. I never worry about anyone getting into the school that isn't supposed to be there. My daughter started her first week reluctant to go to school, by the end of the week she was excited to leave the house in the morning, saying "school, school" as we walked out the door. She even tried to get dressed for school Saturday morning. When I interact with the teachers and staff of the school I get the feeling that they really want to be there and they enjoy teaching and taking care of children. They vary activities every day to keep kids engaged, and have lots of age appropriate choices in each classroom. You bring lunch for your child and they provide two healthy snacks each day. We are very happy with this school. If you are considering The Goddard School, don't just trust my review. Go in and see the owner and ask for a tour. You won't be disappointed.
