Our son loves Goddard New Albany! His teachers are great and he’s made so many friends. He loves going! It’s always clean and they communicate really well. We really enjoy the updates and the pictures!
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Goddard NA! The teachers are warm, caring, and truly invested in each child’s growth. The communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed about my child’s day and progress. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities that keep the kids learning and having fun. My child is always excited to go in the morning and comes home happy. We couldn’t ask for a better environment for our little one! Highly recommend!
Our baby loves it here, loves his teachers and never has a problem being dropped off. The staff and teachers are long term and have great relationships with the children.
A video implied that my child was left crying, completely unsupervised in the bathroom with the door closed while other kids were eating popsicle celebrating the birthday— something they themselves admitted in their own incident report. Instead of pursuing legal action, we gave the center a chance to do the right thing. But communication was a nightmare. When I asked for the incident report required by OAC 5101:2-12-23, the owner diverted my request and even claimed it was “illegal.” Only after I sent her the law did I finally receive it. Their conduct seemed inconsistent with the law, yet they accused me of being illegal. Only the teachers apologized in person; the owner and directors never did, barely any greeting when dropping off the kids, as if the incident never happened. I would rather forgive the teachers than the owner. This daycare is cold, careless, and entirely commercial — putting their own interests above the safety and well-being of children. I never imagined that changing the owner could turn a daycare into something so drastically different. I deeply regret not removing my child immediately when the incident happened, which led to the subsequent terrible communication and wasted so much of my time.
Highly, highly recommend Goddard New Albany! We started during the height of the pandemic, a time that was so uncertain, but immediately felt at ease. We've been there for almost 5 years now and still love the teachers, directors and new owners! Our kids have learned so much, are extremely loved and well taken care of and have met some amazing friends along the way. The owners have added new services and made some changes, both for the families and the teachers, which I believe have only improved our overall experience! We couldn't ask for a better daycare to send our kids to 5 days a week.
