I would strongly NOT recommend Goddard. It was great when Ms Susan was in charge with teh former owners but all senior management and teachers have left, as many of the long-standing families based on the new owners. One of the owners first moves was to remodel one of the children's favorite play rooms into this office; he is never there, this was a change to improve his comfort at the happiness of the children...this is the new leadership style. We were there over 2 years and left after we brought up saftey issues to the director (Lauren) who told us she was aware of the problem but that it was pretty much my issue. I detailed the concerns to the owners and again was ignored/rebuffed. My impression is that they were not interested in addressing the concerns of parents but in protecting their management decisions at the expense of the children. We have left and have never been happier. I was told by friends to not consider Goddard, and now I know why. I wish we left a long time ago.
