“If you're looking for a safe, nurturing, and home-like environment for your children, this is truly the place. As a single-parent military family, it breaks my heart that we had to leave. The love and care the teachers show for every child is unmatched—they treat them as if they were their own.

From day one, the staff made meaningful connections with both my children and myself. Anytime I had a concern, they went above and beyond to address it with care and understanding. Ms. Rolando and Ms. Iris, in particular, are amazing. They truly listen, support, and create the kind of trust and comfort every parent hopes for when leaving their child in someone else’s care.

I could name every teacher here—my children would come home talking about them nonstop, excited to go back on Monday mornings, and sometimes even shedding tears when it was time to leave for the day. This place became more than a childcare center—it became a second home for us.

If we weren’t moving, my children would have stayed here for as long as possible. I can’t recommend this place enough. We are so grateful.”

“We LOVE TLE for taking great care of my two little ones. The warmth and care of your staff and management has always been the main reason why we continue to go to TLE. They are learning so much, making great friends, and thriving. We had moved from a previous daycare, and we are so glad we did. Special thanks to all the great teachers for the pictures, curriculum, activities and we LOVE Bubbles when he comes to visit!!!”

“My son has been with TLE Marlton since he was 2 years old. The teachers are very welcoming and loving. He enjoyed and learned a lot throughout his time at TLE. He loved all his teachers moving from toddlers to preppers to preschool.”

“We are new to the Goddard school. I can already see a huge difference in my child compared to her previous preschool. She is happy and even excited to go to school. She always says mommy I didn't cry and I had a good day. I love their curriculum and love seeing what the children are learning via pictures I receive. My child's teachers are wonderful. If there is teacher In her class that I may not have met they are always welcoming and always introduce themselves which is a huge plus for me. Everyone is always smiling and seem to really enjoy being there. The directors Julie and Erika are really awesome. Great communication within the school and for parents. I am so grateful that I was able to make this switch for my child and so far we love it there.”

“Ever since my daughter has been enrolled at this school, it’s been such a wonderful experience. She absolutely loves coming in every single day, and as a parent, that means everything to me. It’s clear that the staff truly cares about the kids, and they go above and beyond to make them feel supported and loved.

A special thank you to her teacher, Ms. Kisa — you are amazing! The connection you’ve built with my daughter and the way you care for your students doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a positive and nurturing environment!”

“We chose the Goddard School for our children for many reasons. I was impressed by the school’s wholistic early education curriculum which fosters learning through creativity, self expression, developing quality social interactions and interpersonal skills, as well as HAVING FUN! The choice was easy after taking a tour and meeting the Owner, Christine Matthey, who shows an extreme level of compassion, empathy, patience, and experience working with young students. I felt “at home” during our meet and greet and knew my children would be in the best care.
I very much appreciate the quality care my children receive with educators who take their jobs seriously but also visibly adore teaching and caring for our children. Every teacher/ assistant teacher I have met is patient, professional, compassionate, and take wonderful care of our children while helping them grow to meet their full potential as “little learners”. My children ( ages 5 and 21 months) are always excited to see their teachers and development has really grown in behavior, language skills, emotional regulation, and curiosity. The Goddard School promotes high parental involvement and we are able to carryover what our children are doing at school through books/activities at home. Above all else, my children are happy and thriving at the Goddard School.
We love being involved with our children’s school and happily accept invitations to volunteer and participate in school activities. Thus far, we have attended and end of Summer BBQ and participated in the Halloween Trunk or Treat. Both of which were a blast! The opportunities to show up and be a part of the classroom are very welcomed. This is more than just a job for these teachers, The Goddard School feels like a family.”

“COLCA is an excellent school to send your child to during the day while working. It's a safe place with professional staff who is very attentive to the students and their educational needs.”

“Ms.Leonie and Ms.Kayla are the BEST teachers that are parent could ask for! My five year old absolutely adores them, and i love how they genuinely care about the children's education and treats everyone equally. They also are great at forming close bonds with the kids and building on their weaknesses. I've give them 10 stars if I could.”

“I love bringing my children to Kid Academy, they are very informative and educational. Kid Academy is very clean and the teachers are wonderful. Ms Alexa is fantastic with the children and interacts with the parents accordingly.”

“We are extremely pleased with the Goddard School of Medford. We recently moved and had to switch our son from a different provider to the Goddard School, and the experience is like night and day. The teachers and directors are so kind, each and every one of them greets us every day. They remember minor details of our lives and check in with us. Our son is also thriving! Since we switched to the Goddard School, he's finally taking extended naps at daycare, he's learned to sit up on his own and his eating has also progressed. All the children look so happy to be there. I cannot recommend the Goddard School of Medford enough!”

“We were new to Larchmont Kindercare last May. It was a very easy transition and we felt very welcomed. They made some changes to the staff that turned out to be great changes and they have brought new and exciting experiences for my child to experience. All the teachers are kind and welcoming.”

“My daughter is already 6 months old in this school and it was really my best decision, she has advanced a lot in speech and many other things. Ms T and mr Nate are really sweet my daughter loves school. Ms. Devin never has a bad attitude, she always has a good face for everyone who enters the school, the principal is also always willing to help with any problem. I haven't really had any bad experience than my best choice.”

Ms Krista
Mr.Jon
Ms Natalie
Ms Alicia
And many more!!”

“This Goddard School is more of a second family. We sent both of our boys here from 2021 to 2024, from ages one and three up through four and five. I cannot say enough good things about this place! The level of care for each child exceeded all my expectations. The teachers genuinely cared for my kids and helped them to learn and succeed in a fun and exciting way. I was particularly impressed with how the school handled behavior issues with my younger son, he had a very rough time and they worked with me and my husband as we worked to improve his behavior. I felt so supported and knew my son was seen for his big heart despite his behavior. Through the months of working with both a behavioral therapist and the school, we were able to turn his behavior around completely! The behavioral therapist even mentioned multiple times how she was impressed with the school's responsiveness and that she could talk directly to the teachers to discuss methods of behavior improvement. I recommend this to anyone looking for not just a daycare, but a loving place to raise a smart, intelligent child. The owner is fully invested in how well this place is run and is personally there almost daily. She cares about how the teachers and students are doing, and it really shows in the quality of care. Both of my boys loved going there every day and missed it when they went to their next schools. And both my boys were ahead in their new schools because of the amazing curriculum at Goddard. I miss going there every day to drop off and pick up my kids, being greeted by the front staff, and seeing the excitement as my kids would run to their classrooms. I will forever be thankful our family was blessed with having this place as a second home for our kids as they were growing up. THANK YOU GODDARD!!!”

“We absolutely love WeeKids! This is our second child attending, and the experience has been just as amazing the second time around. The staff is incredibly nurturing, patient, and genuinely care about the children. We've seen so much growth and happiness in both of our kids thanks to their time here. It gives us peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands every day. Thank you, WeeKids, for creating a safe, fun, and educational environment for our little ones!”

“I highly recommend KinderCare. The staff and teachers are fantastic and very friendly. You get pictures daily of your little one and what they are up to throughout the day. You get alerts when they eat, nap, run low on supplies like extra clothes, diapers and wipes, etc. it’s very clean and just overall has good vibes about the place. I love sending my baby there.”

“We love TLE and are so grateful to the staff, who treat my son like their own. Our first classroom was Toddler A with Ms. Courtney and we were so grateful to her as my son experienced a number of ear infections and she would always call to give me updates if she noticed he was beginning to feel under the weather and she would comfort and support him just as I would. She would also call to check on him if he was home sick for the day. The TLE staff is wonderful and I cannot recommend them enough.”

“My daughter has been at Lightbridge since she was 3 months old, and she has been lovingly taken care of each day! She is currently in Orange Giraffes and I wish she could stay with that team forever!!
The office staff is caring and responds quickly to any questions I have had.
Highly recommend to any local family!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Kiddie Academy of Marlton. My first experience with a daycare/preschool with my son left me feeling almost hopeless about the idea altogether. My first experience versus what I am now experiencing with Kiddie Academy is like day and night. The first time I toured the Marlton location, the Director Sarah was super informative, and I could tell that she genuinely cares about all of the kids/students as well as the staff. I already felt so much better just from that conversation. Since my son started, he has had nothing but a positive experience. He loves his teacher Miss Chey, and I do as well. She treats all of her students with care and compassion, and always has a smile on her face. My son loves her. Every time I pick my son up he has a huge smile on his face. The daily updates and photos bring me peace of mind as I can see that my son is in good hands, while learning and playing with his classmates. Kiddie Academy of Marlton, and all the staff at this location changed the way I view childcare, and I couldn’t be more thankful. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a safe and nurturing environment for their littles, where they will learn, play, and grow.”

“When transitioning back to work after my son was born became a reality, I have Burlington KinderCare to thank for making sure, me, my family and my eight month old were calm, comfortable and happy ?!! All my fears, questions and anxieties were answered and eased from the moment we walked into the door. We are always pleasantly greeted at the door and in classrooms in the hectic mornings and happily assisted with a calm organized exit at evening pick up. A huge thank you to Miss Ashley, her amazing energy and smile while touring and answering my 101 questions were top tier. We ❤️ our Burlington KinderCare family.”
