Schools in Chester, VA

“This Goddard location has the friendliest staff and teachers I have ever encountered at a Goddard. Everyone is so welcoming and my children truly enjoy spending time here. When an issue came up between my son and another child, staff were quick to address it and come up with a solution. I am very pleased with every aspect of Goddard River's Bend. My children truly enjoyed their time there and we will miss the friendly staff.”

“I have a 4 year old in PreK and a 2 year old in toddlers. Primrose is welcoming and all of the teachers and administrative staff are great. I find it to be a perfect balance of safety, fun, and education. My daughters love their teachers and they have shown improvement in independence and curiosity.”

“The new principal of the center is wonderful, formal, affectionate, attentive, and extremely judicious, and concerned about the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the entire facility. Thank you for always trying to keep our children in the best conditions.”

“I truly cannot express enough gratitude for Tracie at Childtime on Old Lane. She was honestly my light at the end of a very long and stressful road.
As a mother, finding childcare is already emotionally overwhelming, but trying to find quality childcare that you genuinely feel safe and comfortable leaving your children with is on another level. I visited several different facilities before coming to Childtime, and between long waitlists, lack of communication, and just feeling unwelcome at times, I was starting to lose hope.
What stood out to me about Tracie was not just her professionalism, but her heart. She was willing to help get my 5-year-old enrolled, and she even went out of her way to call around to other facilities to try to help me find placement for my twins as well. That level of compassion and dedication is something you do not come across often.
As a parent, you can feel when you are being judged, dismissed, or treated differently, and unfortunately I experienced that at other places. But when I walked into Childtime, I did not feel judged, I felt welcomed, heard, and genuinely cared about. That is the kind of experience every mother deserves when searching for care for their children.
Thank you again, Tracie, for your kindness, patience, and willingness to help during one of the most stressful times in my life. People like you truly make a difference, and I will never forget the compassion you showed my family 🤍”
