The Goddard School - Beavercreek

Posted: June 24, 2019

Again, the staff and the owner show off very well. Other schools in Beavercreek are very caring, bigger and have better values.

I have seen favorite kids bullying new kids and teachers ignoring this behavior.

approach to homework was very vague. There was no set curriculum. They have themes every week but no perfect curriculum.

I am not sure about other teachers but KG teachers were horrible but again they did not show that when you drop you kids off.

Totally disagree. They develop quite bullying where your kid's confidence will be affected if he/she is not favorite.

Total show off to make more money, no integrity.

This is a worst school but the staff is successful in demonstrating fake environment.

We have been at Goddard for about 4 years now and it is a perfect fit for our family. The teachers are excellent with our children and have been from day 1. When we started there, I was a new mom and always worried about someone else watching my baby. They were very understanding and didn’t mind my phone calls for the first couple weeks just to check on her. Also, the Tadpoles app allows me to get photos of my kids during the day, which I love. Seeing them laughing and learning always makes the day a little brighter. My daughter was learning sign language in the infant room, which allowed her to communicate when she wasn’t old enough to talk yet. My son who just turned 2 is counting in several different languages. I am impressed with the curriculum they have. After considering several places, I am so pleased we went with the Goddard school. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

I recently had an incident where the teachers gave my daughter a snack she's allergic to, and I walked in when they were washing her hands off as if the allergic reaction she had was an external factor. This is unacceptable, they couldn't even detect when a child is having an allergic reaction if I didn't walk in when I did and gave her her Benadryl I have no idea what could have happened. The teachers were just watching her as she broke out in hives and started throwing up. It is inexcusable and I wouldn't recommend anyone with a child with such conditions to trust their child with them.My daughter went here for a year and even though we enjoyed her first class room which was for young toddlers (cuddly bears) the following class was very chaotic and lacked the teacher's control and order. The reason we chose the school was because we wanted a place where she'd be cared for, and well trained. from time to time, we've been noticing how they lack leadership, they're understaffed, they don't train their teachers properly, there is a high turnover rate in staffing. The owner appears available because she's always there but she is always frantic and disorganized. And they make excuses when they make mistakes instead of admitting they're wrong and offering proper apologies. I'm so glad we're done with them.

Goddard has been great for our three children. The previous owners were fabulous and established a great foundation for the school, but they did just sell it to new owners, who were already Goddard parents. It has been a smooth, actually seamless, transition. The teachers and staff are genuinely all happy to be there and provide a great environment for the children. They go the extra mile for the children, so the expense is well worth it. By far the best child care facility I toured in the area!!

This school is the best around. When we first started, we visited several schools in area and this one was by far the best in comparison. Staff was very friendly and worked with every need you had including allergies. Now that a bit older, they have moved onto grade school, but they know so much more then other students and enjoyed all the activities and field trips they did in preschool and kindergarten. A little expensive, but well worth it!

I was initially skeptical about the Goddard School, but I am very glad we chose to send our children there. It is expensive, and parents have to pack lunches, but it has been worth the expense and trouble. I can't say enough good things about the owner. She is top notch and runs the place well. She has created a very warm, family vibe and her staff is incredible. She was also willing to personally drive my son to and from a Mad River pre-school (he received special services there) four days a week since we did not live in the Beavercreek school district at the time. We've been very happy with the teachers as well. They are all very caring and seem to love working there. My son and daughter both love going and often are upset when it's time to leave.

I wish I could give ten stars!! This school is top-notch. My 2 year old had been going there for a month and she was diagnosed with diabetes. They have worked with us in maintaining her healthy lifestyle; which includes checking her blood before every meal and entering carbs into her insulin pump. They are amazing people! :)
