My son went here from age 3 till he finished pre school. He loved it and we felt safe knowing he was in great hands! I would get updates if he was having a rough day and we got close to the director and she treated my son as her own. He’s now in 1st grade and is still close to the kids he went to pre school with there :)

My son is excelling and is so happy going to Mother Goose. I even postponed moving so my son can finish his pre-k education here. Sam the director is always finding fun new activities/events for both the parents and students. All the teachers are friendly and work just as hard! I feel blessed that we found a great center!! Highly recommend 😁

I chose this center based off of local reviews. What I didn't know was they would be changing directors. I have no doubt before the transition things were a lot different. Ms. Sam is an awful director. If a child tells you that they really don't like someone and they really don't want to go anymore, you listen. Kids are honest judge of character and they feel energy. . After 3 short months we switched out. Fast forward to tax time. I spoke to Sam on a Friday and advised her I would be by next week to pick up my documents for taxes. When I arrived I was told they didn't have anything. Then it was a two week delay before anymore even had an answer. I did finally get my tax document but I can assure you it was intentionally held. I wasn't even going to write this post until I spoke to another mom who also had an issue with Sam and her tax documents. Ms Sam also told me she was never having kids at home because she gets a headache from the kids at the center as well as her nieces and nephews at night. Wasn't long after we got out of there

I truly couldn’t be anymore happier than choosing Mother Goose for my boys. I’m a single mom with 3 boys and life is already challenging. Everyone there is super friendly and I know my boys are in amazing hands. I don’t have a fear when I drop them off. Thank you for taking care of my babies and being there for them while I’m at work. Best daycare around

I had my son in this daycare when he was 3 years old, for a short period of time, it was the WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY SONS life and mine as a mother! They were cruel, mean and judgmental just because he was different. To this day I feel angry over the treatment he got especially from one particular employee and when I complained to the owner she didn’t do anything to correct it. I pulled my son out after a couple of weeks so he wouldn’t be traumatized by the treatment he was receiving!
