Reviews of The Goddard School of Edmond (Kindergarten)

Kirsten Parker

In contrast with some of the reviews this place is "just a daycare." No "preschool" here folks. They do about half (if that) what the curriculum states your kids do each day. They're lucky if they do an art each day. Their daily sheets are mass produced a week ahead of time and they are filled out each day while your kids are asleep. Don't believe me? Check their cameras. Oh wait they don't have any inside the rooms. The toys are outdated and good luck getting something replaced. If you are looking to work here my advice is run fast. Their turnover rate is ridiculous and you won't get anything over $9/hr without a degree and a fight. Male? Good luck. Got tattoos? Ha! Don't even try. Like I said above no cameras; therefore, a parent says something or doesn't like you? Bye! Plus if or when you leave whether by choice or not you're not getting all your money. Last, but not least the owners are hardly ever there. So if you need them good luck.

We recently had our 2 yr old son enrolled in the class taught by Amanda, for one month. When we went in for our tour we worked with Shelby, who is not the director. She is young and very positive but I feel she miss led us with what they actually offer. We were told that we would get a completed daily report and 2 pictures a day (never once happened), the kids would be fed healthy options like frozen fruit over canned fruit (they ate a lot of mandarin oranges), vegetables, etc. On the menu there was a lot of French toast, pasta dishes, etc. Not very healthy options. We were assured that the staff supervising our son all had 4 year degrees in a field that was child education related, also not true. We even went to look at a classroom that turned out not being the one my son ended up in. All of that was minor and I was okay looking past some of it. However, the over all supervision was poor. In the one month my son was there 2 times we picked him up he still had poop on him, 3 times his pants were wet from peeing through his diaper, 1 time his shirt sleeves were soaking wet all the way up the sleeves, 2 times he was bitten, and one of those times the school was unaware it had happened. When we asked the teaching assistants about the peed pants, they didn't realized he has TWO extra outfits in his cubby. When we asked about the sleeves the teaching assistants said they didn't know how his sleeve got wet. I called the director Ashley after the first couple of diaper issues and she said she had not heard of that out of Amanda class room but would talk to her. Never heard back about it. Today When I called to make them aware of the second bite Ashley, the director, didn't seemed very alarmed by it. She made a lot of excuses as to why it could have happened. She said that the girls that were subbing for Amanda as well as some of the other teachers were not "trained up as much as she wanted them to be." I expressed to her that they shouldn't be alone with kids if they aren't trained properly. Ashley said she had just had a staff meeting the night before with the teachers and she had already addressed some of these issues with the staff. She said she would speak to the teacher and call me back about not being aware of the second bite. (It broke the skin...) That was at 8:30. At 11:30 I called and Shelby said she was at lunch, I left a message. At 3:30 I called (Ashley leaves at 4) and had to leave a message on the machine. My husband finally went up there and told them that because of the lack of supervision, we felt unsafe taking our child there and wouldn't be back. They never once apologized for the behavior. Poor supervison, poor customer service. I would look elsewhere!

This day care center markets itself as a high end or up scale program but fails to provide it's children with basic equipment and materials for play and learning.

My son was at Goddard from 3 months old till 10 months old before we had to move for a job. We didn't realize what a fantastic daycare this truly was until we had a different experience where we moved. We enrolled at a new daycare which was suppose to be a premiere daycare with high profile clientele and outrageously expensive prices that we thought would coincide with similar great care for our little boy however we did not find that to be the case. The experience at Goddard was truly unique. The teachers at Goddard meet and greet you at the door and make every effort to make sure your child is comfortable. They send pictures and updates during the day which is so great for a worried new mom. The teachers provide fantastic supervision of the kids. Goddard is so genuine in their interest in children and everyone there truly took an interest in our sons health, education and happiness. The scariest thing for me as a new mom was leaving my son at a daycare but this was the only place we have been that I didn't worry throughout the day that he was with people who cared about him. I would whole heartily recommend Goddard to moms like me who are always seeking a great place for their little ones.

I’ve been with Goddard for almost 4 years, Shelby is the best. Tadpoles is really great for communicating to the parents.

We took our 7- month old daughter to this place and although we paid for a whole month, we could not take her there for more than 3 days. And when we asked for a refund, they did not give us any. The front disk were unprofessional and rude, and were ignoring our calls and voice mails. The place is a mess. They are clearly understaffed. All the babies are crying. Every time we go we find a different teacher so we have to explain to her everything about our daughter's feeding, sleeping, etc. again. Our daughter normally sleeps for 3 to 4 hours during the day but when she started the daycare she could not sleep more than hour and half because the place was not quiet at all. Although when we first visited them they told us that they have noise machine and that the place is really quiet during the nap time but this was not the case. We only give her formula and they gave her someone else's ??BREAST MILK??on the 2nd and 3rd day. She normally takes 6 ounces of formula but there she did not take more than 2-3 ounces and they did not even care about making her take more. When we came to pick her up we found her sitting on the table chair facing the wall with no toys or anyone interacting with her. After her last day we notice a big scratch on the back of her neck. Anyone who sees our daughter says she is such a happy baby but on her 3rd day she was no longer a happy baby.

Both of my children attended The Goddard School on Covell Road and completed the full program from Infant to Junior Kindergarten. Both were more than ready for 1st grade. They always enjoyed going to school and the staff is very caring/nurturing and follow daily lesson plans to insure they get the developmentally appropriate curriculum for their class. Two thumbs up!!

The Edmond Northeast Goddard School is an Incredibly nurturing and fantastic learning environment. Loving teachers, enriching curriculum and clean environment are so important in finding the right fit for your family's adjustment to working with children. My mind is put to ease when I receive a picture each day of my child and an extensive individualized schedule of what/how much he ate, every activity done, how long he slept, and any other pertinent information. We've had all 3 of our children attend this school. There is no where else I'd want to take them. The owners make it a loving and homey environment.

We appreciate the teachers and hard work that the staff put in for our daughter at Goddard. We have had 2 children there now, and will continue until our children move on to Kindergarten in public schools.

My 2 year old has been going here for 6 months. She already knows her ABCs and some colors. They send you pics of them learning and playing several times a day. I can't wait to see what she is doing at 4 years old. Check them out!

My daughter has gone to The Goddard School on Covell since it opened. It did have a few quirks to work out in the begining but those were fixed. I love the fact that this school is more than just a "daycare". They have taught her lots of things through there excellent cirriculum and I am confident that she will definately be ready for school next year. Thank you to them for all of their hard work in teaching my daughter. I would recommend this school to every parent that wants more for their child than just a "daycare".

We love this school so much for our 2 year old! The teachers and directors are wonderful. My little one comes home with art projects constantly, she has learned to count in Spanish, say the ABCs and sing songs from memory. We are two full-time working parents so having access to this school has helped us so much and we just love it!!

Brent Bayouth

All three of my children have attended Goddard and loved it! Before we found Goddard our daughter had been to 3 different schools and the experiences were not good. We feel extremely blessed that a friend recommended Goddard. All the kids have loved their teachers and management has always been receptive and made themselves available for us. The atmosphere creates a great learning experience for the kids, which was very important for my wife and I. We are very thankful to have a loving place help us educate our children.

Owner lacks credibility and honesty. Did not have any issues with teachers though. Please double check your financials and their billing.
