Review content:
The Goddard School chain in general is supposed to be one of the best early childhood schools in the country, and definitely not cheap. They are all independently-owned, however. The franchise in Cary, IL is owned by someone that should not be in charge of children.
I worked there for almost two years. During that time, I was bringing food from my house to feed the children in my classroom, who were not being fed enough food at the school.
The owner also instilled a policy where toddlers were to stay in the infant room (which was $300 more per month than the actual toddler room) until they were 15 months old instead of moving up to the toddler room when they turned 1 year old. The owner did this because she could get more money out of the parents that way. This is serious because it was the child's development that really suffered, as they were older, still in the infant room, and under-stimulated.
When I complained that neither of these things are right, and extremely unethical, I was told by the owner that these (food budget & holding children back) policies were not illegal and fit within the standards of the Goddard School company, which I do not believe.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, there were too many unethical instances that occurred at that particular school and I did not want to be a part of it. That school is in a convenient location, as many parents who live close by bring their children there. But convenience should not matter when your child is not getting their needs met and parents are paying big money and trusting this school to provide for their children. It's just not worth it.
This review site will not publish my review without a 1-5 star rating. Therefore, I am being required to rate it at least 1 star. As far as how the children are being treated there, I wouldn't give it a single star at all, but I have to just to have this review published so other parents are able to read about some of what goes on at that school.
