“My daughter's have had an amazing experience. The teachers are wonderful and very kind. They always put the children first and keep you very informed through out the whole school year. They also take pictures and put them on their Facebook page which is nice gives you a chance to see your child having fun and being creative. I recommend them to anyone who wants their child to have an amazing experience.”

“My son has been at Goddard School in Albertville since he was 3 months old (currently 16 months). We toured the school while I was pregnant and I knew immediately it was a good fit. Vikram has really put so much effort into the school with a clear priority of safety and the well-being of the children.All of my sons teachers in the infant room were fantastic! As a first time mom, the transition back to work was very tough but was made much easier knowing he was so loved and cared for! Ms Sara was adored by my son and I am so grateful she was part of such an important part of his development!His transition to first steps was very smooth and, again, each staff member that cared for him were so loving and kind. He rarely experienced separation anxiety at drop off and loved his teachers.He is currently in pre-toddler/toddler room. I was nervous for this transition but did not need to be! He has been doing great and has warmed up to his new teachers so quickly! He’s learning so many new skills, words, and is using some sign language too! Seeing the trust and love he has for the staff that care for him truly is the best gift they can give to me.I receive daily pictures and updates about his naps, meals, and diaper changes. This is updated throughout the day and I love that I can check in on how he’s doing.It is tough when teachers leave as they all really do form such close bonds with my son but in most cases we get an advance notice if one of his teachers are leaving so we are able to express our gratitude (and get their number to stay in touch!)Overall, our experience has been really great! It takes a village and I am so happy this particular Goddard School is part of ours.”

“Kids Haven does a really good job of appreciating each child's different personalities. They maintain good communication with parents, offer a variety of activities and learning topics, promote outside and gym play, and offer a variety of meals for lunch. I personally appreciate the consistent routine for my toddler, and that the teachers care about each individual child's growth and development. They also partner with other services in the district to be sure your child is on track, and make it convenient to receive additional services.Bonus - they are open earlier in the morning and later in the evening than other local daycares, and are only closed for major holidays”

“Wonderful facility. Excellent curriculum. Great communication. Tasty, nutritional meals. Safe, clean, competent, transparent, warm, and welcoming. Our family feels super fortunate to have had our youngest child receive childcare and attend pre-k here.”

“St. Francis School has been the best decision we could have made for our children. We love the faith based education they are getting. The personal attention to each students academic ability and learning styles can't be matched anywhere else. STFX School holds their students to a higher standard in all aspects. They educate the MIND BODY and SOUL!”
