If it was up to me, my 2 children would never graduate from Goddard School in Ewing, but would go there forever....
We've been with Goddard School for 5 years, almost from the very begining. I was pregnant with my second child when I had an appointement with Stacey, the owner, and I picked this school from among 6 schools. What a good choice! These were wonderful 5 years. I cannot rave anough about this school. From the basic things as how clean and bright it is (they have just had it repainted even though it's been only 5 years and to me it looked in a perfectly good condition!), to how caring and engaged teachers are, through very high academic level (I could not believe how much my children learned going there only 2-3 days a week - elementary school is so easy for them now, and most importantly they LIKED learning everything they were tought, because it was tought in a playful manner and with a lot of constructive play in between), and most important for me - how accomodating and insightful the management is.
Also for me going there to drop my children off or pick them up felt like going to see friends.
Last but not least - they pay a lot attention to security! I know there are other centers when anybody can pretty much enter the school. Not in Goddard - if they dont know you very well they will request an ID to make sure that this person is authorize to pick up the child. I have witnessed a very big man trying to intimidate tiny teacher at the entrance - she stood her ground! I have always felt that my children are very safe there.
