The Goddard School of South Lebanon is nothing short of incredible! I have had the opportunity to watch my son thrive in every classroom he’s joined. From the administration to his teachers we have always felt right at home! Forever grateful for the love and support we’ve received!
My wife and I visited and talked with the assistant director Amanda a couple times before we brought our son in to meet her and as well the teachers. All those visits were amazing because we had that instant vibe and trust about the school that our son could thrive in and would be well taken care of. However, that trust was immediately broken just after the free trail day Goddard offered before we enrolled him. First of all, we thought that it’s amazing that Goddard offered a trial day to give our 1 year old son the experience at a day care. But if you’re going to offer a trial day, you better put your best foot forward and Goddard did not The first issue we had was the nap situation. Goddard asked us to provide a schedule for our son for when he takes his meals, naps, etc. and they would do their best to try to follow that schedule. It seems as though our son missed his first morning nap and he took his nap on one of the teachers which is totally fine. But the issue is that they didn’t even try to put him in the crib for his nap. The reason we know is that through out the day teachers texted us pictures of our son doing different activities throughout the morning with time stamps and when my wife called the school to see if he took his morning nap, the teacher said he took a 30 min nap in the crib. However, when I picked my son up at the end of the day the teacher asked me “does your son sleep on his own in a bed?” You would not even need to ask me that if he slept for 30 min in the crib. The 2nd issue is the teachers did not give any water to our son throughout the day. On our schedule, that they specifically asked us for, we stated that they offer his water sippy cup throughout the day and with his meals. When we asked the teacher, miss Joanne, she admitted that they did not give him water. They only gave him his two 5 oz whole milk sippy cups to him with his meals. Those were to only to be given to him at snack time. It’s just mind boggling that our son went for a whole day without any water and it was just sitting in the refrigerator. The bottom line is that they didn’t even want to read the schedule at all and when we called the school to express our concern, there was no apology or any empathy at all. Which is why we could never trust Goddard with our son. It’s such a shame because we felt so good about them at first but just a true disappointment.
The Goddard School South Lebanon has been a second home for our family for the past 13 years. All three of our children have attended Goddard and our oldest is now excelling in middle school. I 100% believe that is all because of Goddard. Our Goddard also just presented a new curriculum, and our youngest daughter is thriving with it! The owners Craig & Sue are always making improvements to the school and it shows! There are always updates happening in the school! We really enjoy the family involvement. The most recent Open House was one to remember! Karmen and Amanda run an amazing school. Better yet, they both have been there since our family has enrolled in the school! Little turn over, amazing curriculum, clean classrooms, great teachers, everything we could have hoped (and more) when we started our journey of an early childhood search 13 years ago. THANK YOU GODDARD!
My daughter really loves being at The Goddard School of South Lebanon. She has been enrolled long enough to transition through four classrooms! They do tons of unique projects that have a specific focus on educational elements, up to and including emotional education. Every step of the way has been a very pleasant experience for her and I. Excellent staff, facilities, curriculum, and communication.
