Ok. My kid has been here for almost 2 years so this is way overdue. My kid has like 6 mama's y'all! Once I drop her off I don't even have a moments thought or worry. Ms. Elizabeth treats every kid like they are their own and knows every parent by name! Her teachers ms alma and ms melissa are a godsend! They are obviously invested in your kids future maybe more than you are. Not only did they basically do all the potty training heavy lifting for us (bless y'all for that!), but have taken special interest in helping my child with her speech delay issues. The regular updates with the cutest photos just brighten my day. They encourage her and know her moods better than i do. I gave them my most precious gem and they polished it for me, I couldn't recommend them enough, worth our 15 min drive to get here!

Elizabeth, Jeremy and the Staff at the Corinth Campus have made The Goddard School a home away from home for my Daughter who has been attending for a little over 5 months now. Everyday she comes home overjoyed to Demonstrate all her new knowledge and skills and I can’t think of better proof and reassurance that I made the right decision in choosing The Goddard School Corinth Campus! Being a first time mom my anxiety was threw the roof about my first child care experience so naturally I had allot of questions and concerns when it came to child care and Elizabeth made sure my family was very informed and comfortable making this an easy transition for us . My daughter’s Teacher Ms Destiny is an Amazing teacher and her consistency and dedication to her kiddos shine’s as bright as the children! My Husband and I are very pleased and feel proud to be apart of the Goddard Family !

My two main concerns as a Father have been safety and happiness for my 5 year old and 2 year old girls. When Im at work all day, I often think about whether they are enjoying their day and whether they are safe-I pay more to have those anxious feelings transform into confidence so that I'm able to focus on my work each day and trust they are safe and happy. Goddard is the only place I felt comfortable having my children so those two main concerns are covered. They have childcare so well figured out, they provide way more benefits than just for those two basic concerns. They also help develop their minds each day and make learning fun. My 5 year old loves learning and reading and that's a giant bonus for me-and she has a group of quality friends from caring families that we have made friends with and I am so appreciative of that. Thanks Elizabeth and Jeremy-for making our lives better with your diligence and care for our children. Now that we know what Goddard Corinth can provide-we wouldn't want our children anywhere else.

Both my girls love this school! I’ve never felt better about a decision- we drive 40 minutes daily to get to this quality preschool program and my kids love the teachers, classmates and administrators like family. I cannot recommend Goddard Corinth highly enough!

Running a daycare center is tough for many reasons. Given that, this school has the best intentions and does its best to take care of children and keep everyone happy. There have been hiccups (understandable); however, Elizabeth and Jeremy have shown that they care and are willing to make things right ASAP. The husband-and-wife team is nice because it's like having one owner with two bodies. Last but not least, the teachers are great. My 10 month-old son loves Ms. Celeste and Ms. Julia.

Our son has been going to The Goddard School for two years and started around age one. We could not be more pleased with the experience that we have had. The teachers are exceptional. Our son is high energy and has been known to be the class clown but they are always very kind, patient and understanding with him. Ms. Alma, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Amanda and Ms. Sarah are just a few of his favorite teachers over the years. They keep us updated with how he is behaving and developing. I feel that the safety and sanitation is top notch. The front door is strictly monitored. The owner Ms.E has always been caring and responsive with any concerns that we have had along the way. She truly loves the children and wants them to succeed. We could not ask for a better school for our son. Our newborn daughter will be joining big brother at school soon and we cannot wait to see her thrive just like he has.

We have been at Goddard since our child was a baby, and we absolutely adore the school. I recommend it wholeheartedly. The owners, teachers, and support staff are all incredible. Ms. Alma and Ms. Gaby have been crucial in our child’s development, and I couldn’t be happier with how much she has grown in her time at Goddard!

Updated to Respond to Owner's Comment: The compliance visits mentioned did not prevent the mistreatment and negligence that occurred to my son. I encourage everyone considering this daycare to go to state childcare website to review the number of the deficiencies at this school compared to other childcare centers in the area. I wish I had done this as this school has a higher average of deficiencies per year compared to other centers. I don't doubt that that the owners have the best of intentions and care about the children, but this is not excuse for what we experienced.My child attended the Goddard School for six months, and initially, we were pleased with the care provided. However, our experience took a drastic turn for the worse when our child was transferred to the next room after outgrowing the initial one. This shift marked the beginning of a series of problems that ultimately led us to withdraw our child from the school.The primary issue stemmed from the high turnover in the next room, which had a detrimental impact on the overall quality of care. There were instances where the number of caregivers fluctuated drastically from one day to the next, leaving the children in a state of chaos. On several occasions, I walked into a room filled with overwhelmed workers and crying children during breakfast, with seemingly little effort made to create a welcoming environment.One of the most concerning aspects was the inconsistency in the care provided. The school used an app for updates throughout the day, including photos, feeding times, and nap times. However, discrepancies arose when my child was marked as napping during a feeding time. When questioned, the explanation was that the app was malfunctioning, but my child consistently came home extremely hungry, raising suspicions that the school lunch was never given as indicated in the app.During a family event, it became apparent that our child was treated differently from others. While all children were given water after a snack, my child was excluded because, allegedly, I had not provided a cup, although I had never been asked to bring one. This contradicted previous instructions not to bring cups, utensils, or dishes because supposedly the school had plenty. Not to mention that the school has a kitchen full of extra supplies. I believe they ran out of cups (that were supplied by the school) and my child was just out of luck when they didn't have one for him. The workers were not going to go the extra mile and get an extra cup for my child from the school kitchen, so it was just easier for them to watch a thirsty child and blame the parent for not providing something they never asked for.The breaking point came when our child started displaying signs of distress, crying during drop-offs and exhibiting behavioral changes during diaper changes. Additionally, our child sustained unexplained bruises on two separate occasions (one in the middle of his back, and the other on his cheek), with no accountability or incident reports from the school.Despite prepaid fees for the entire month, we received no refund after withdrawing our child at the beginning of the month due to the mysterious bruises. The one on the cheek was visible on picture day, and can be seen in the school photo yet no report was made.Since moving him to a different caregiving environment, we've witnessed a positive transformation – my child no longer cries during drop-offs, has no unexplained bruises, and is thriving, meeting all his milestones.While we initially had high hopes for Goddard, our experience has taught us to scrutinize every aspect of childcare and not overlook what may seem like minor errors. Parents should be vigilant, follow up on concerns, and not easily excuse caregivers for what may accumulate into a significant issue over time.

I’ve had my son at the Goddard School in Corinth since September of 2021 and have been completely satisfied with the love, care, and education he receives daily. I have watched him thrive and grow in the last 2 years due to the environment there. I appreciate the effort to continually improve the school. I also appreciate his teachers who take the time to communicate with me on a daily basis. As a previous teacher, I knew that my son’s early education would be important to me, so placing him in a facility that nurtures his academic growth has been a blessing. We are thankful for Mrs. E and her staff.

We are very happy with the Goddard School of Corinth. Before we transferred Maverick here, he struggled with Montessori based methods for Potty Training. After we transitioned him to Goddard, he was fully potty trained within 3-4 weeks. The key has been consistent teachers. At the previous school, we experienced several teachers in and out over just 12 months. At Goddard, Maverick has had the same teacher the full year with very little disruptions. The front office staff is very professional and willing to help parents with issues, challenges and needs and has been responsive to any requests or feedback. Highly recommend!!

We have been with this Goddard school pretty much since its inception! Three generations have been with this school.Right now my 2 year old goes there, he's been there since he was 8 months old, and he's thriving.What I really appreciate about this school is the open door policy I have with the owner (Ms. E.) and the directors (Alisa and Kim). I can go and have a chat with them about anything I observe, whether it's something I liked or something I did not.When it comes to my kids' care, I am very particular about the teachers they deal with.There are circumstances outside of anyones hands; those, I don't hold the school accountable.What I hold them accountable for is following up on what they said they will improve. Listening to any concerns and explaining the situation, and not giving us the runaround.The management staff are always working on finding ways to improve the school and what the little kiddos learn.Obviously we like it here; otherwise I would not have brought my three boys there and kept them there as they grew and graduated to public school :)

Goddard is more than a school, they feel like family. Kim and Alisa are amazing and go above and beyond to make sure things ran smoothly and address any issues with grace and kindness. The owners go out of their way to be available and check in to make sure we are happy and our kids are thriving. We have had our oldest enrolled in two other Goddard's (we moved) and this Goddard has been the best experience ever! Our daughter has really blossomed being here. Her teachers accept her for who she is and they embrace it. Our youngest started in the infant room and I never once had to worry about a single thing. The best, top notch teachers I have ever met. I also respect and appreciate that they don't sugar coat things, if my child was having behaviors the teachers are very professional and take the time to talk with me about it and how we can work together as a team to improve the behaviors. Love the cohesive team of parent, teacher, and administrators.

My grandchild has attended the Goddard School Corinth since Spring 2022. The teachers were so caring, welcoming, and patient during her transition. Their focus on maximizing each child's potential is encouraging. The facility is very clean and well-managed. The director and her staff are outstanding. Highly recommend.

My daughter has had an excellent experience at Goddard Corinth! Teachers are kind, flexible, and engaged. Have always felt the administrative staff is ready and willing to help answer any questions that have come up.
