Goddard School

My 18 month old son has been going here since he was 12 weeks old and he has been in 4 different classes and all the teachers have been wonderful. The kids are taught sign language and our son can communicate with us before he is able to talk. I would highly recommend this school although it is the priciest in the area. more

First i have a one yr old boy who i needed to find a new school for. When talking to a fellow parent they recommended the goddard school. I checked out the one near my work on quarter staff road. As i walked in i notice one of the office girls on face book and the one behind her was another girl taking a personal call. I then met with one of the directors. She was pushy person i tried asking questions and i felt i was being pushed through the tour and reacieved loose answers. As i was walking i could not help but notice that the ceilling was moldy through out the class rooms. by this time i was ready to leave. The only saving grace was the teachers in the class. She was a nice lady that really seem to care about the children. I could however tell that she seemed stressed out and tired. While talking the director was hovering my ever word as though she was trying to script the teacher in saying the right thing. I can only image how theirs managers treat their teachers. As i was walking out i asked some more questions she again ignored me telling me fact about the school. Saying their ACCS accrediated after research I found out they lost theirs almost two years ago. So that said if you want your child to go to a school worst then an north korean prison then this school is for you. But i would recommend the goddard in ellicot city off 100. Pros: Teachers care about children seem educated Cons: Office staff rude, Building falling apart more

This place is ACCS accrediated by the Maryland state Board of Education. It is very secure and is locked during the classes are in session. For the toddler's group, there is a 2 teacher to 6 children ratio. I went there for a tour and the staff was very nice and called this place the "mini Harvard" the children seem to enjoy that day's lesson plan. The prices are reasonable too. I really like how structure the lesson plan is and how clean the classrooms are. PROS: Clean and good lesson plan CONS: none more
