I heard some negative things about Goddard in Stafford, but after touring & visiting at least 5 other daycares in the area, I picked Goddard for numerous reasons. Some of which include, cleanliness, caring management and teachers, behavior i observed of other children that were already enrolled. The new owners have done too many things to list, along with the directors and I am very pleased. My child started at 3 mos, and like many parents in the area I commute, and theirs help. The owners, and both directors have children that also attend the school. My child had some expected bumps the first week (which is expected after being home with me all day for 3 mos). but is now adjusting and always seems happy at pickup time. For the most part, all the teachers seem to genuinely care about the children. If your child is more particular, then tell the staff and they seem to do what is necessary to help your child adjust to the new environment.
