We paid the unrefundable $250 deposit and month tuition to be placed on the waiting list, but our son finally became comfortable at his current school after a very rough transition. We felt it in his best interest not to move him; however, Goddard was unwilling to refund any of the $1,000 we deposited even given our 1 month notice. I initially gave them the money because I really liked the school and I was desperate and naive enough to think that nothing would change in our circumstances. Looking back I should have enrolled him at the Kids R Kids at 505 JOHNSON FERRY ROAD. I have heard nothing but rave reviews of them via Kudzu and word of mouth and they provide a 6 month waiting list free of charge. I like(d) the Goddard School but after this experience I question if they have the best interest of the children in mind. I asked that if they found a replacement for my son?s spot if they would refund even half our money, but I got no response. Just be careful and make sure you are ABSOLUTELY positive you are going to enroll there before giving them money.
