Goddard was Kyra's second home for almost an year when she was 2years old (in 2013), and it will always have a special place in my heart.

I don't know what we would have done without this wonderful day care. We were new to this country and needed someone to take care of Kyra like home. Like every mother I am very careful when it comes to my daughter but along with that I am a cleanliness freak :). In the first 5 minutes of the tour in Goddard I knew this is where I could leave my daughter and be at work without being worried about her. Every person I have talked to in Goddard has left a smile on my face.
With each day spent with you all, it has increased her confidence and made her independent.

I cannot forget the small small things like in those first few days when I visited in lunch time to check on Kyra, I saw Maura (the owner) checking on Kyra and noticing how she is getting better with each day.

Now the only problem is that you guys have set the benchmark so high that now I expect other day cares to be as sparkling clean as Goddard and it's a tough one.
You guys are super AWESOME!!!!

My kids have been at Goddard since they were 2 and 3 years old (they are 15 months apart). Miss Jackie (the Director), Jason and Maura (the owners), and all of the teachers have been unbelievably amazing. There is no other place in this world I would have rather left my kids.

My son is about to finish his last week there this coming week, and I am sincere when I say that I will miss this school and all of the opportunities it brought our children. They are better for having been there. They were very well prepared for Kindergarten, and they made friends that are likely to last a lifetime. THANK YOU Miss Jackie, Jason and Maura for a great experience!

I hope this helps some parents make what is possibly the most important decision of a working mother's life a little easier!!!

I have nothing but great things to say about the Goddard School of Quakertown. Being a teacher myself, I appreciate what Goddard does to instill the sense of "school" for our daughters rather than providing "daycare" services. The curriculum challenges them and allows them to explore their individual strengths and talents. I enjoy reading their detailed daily report and asking them about their school day. The facilities are kept clean and updated, and the "homey" feel throughout the school is comforting. The entire staff at Quakertown is caring, friendly and child-centered. The most important aspect to us is to know that our girls are loved. That is more than evident in the kindness their teachers show, the friendly smiles and greetings from the owner and director, and talks daily with their teachers. Thank you for taking such great care of our girls and helping them learn, grow, and laugh! If you are looking for childcare for your child- you must stop in and tour the Goddard School.

I have 3 children who all have or is currently attending a Goddard School. My oldest went to a Goddard in Schwenksville, PA. Schwenksville was a clean, safe and loving environment. My daughter thrived there, so when it came time for us to move I had great concerns about finding this environment again. I made an appt. to visit the Quakertown Goddard. Upon arrival I was greeted by big smiles, friendly hellos and one of the owners. Maura is a complete delight! As I toured the facility I found myself comforted by the children's beautiful art projects that aligned the hallways. The school IS clean and well maintained (I have high standards). The teachers are above and beyond qualified caregivers. They put their hearts into their curriculum and education. Both my toddlers hug and love their teaches greatly. It breaks my heart to see anyone paint these ladies in a terrible light. My 4 year old and 2 year old are thriving happy, healthy little people. I feel at home in this place. Its important to know that your children are loved and cared for while you're away from them. I highly recommend this school for littles of all kinds!

Uncaring/Unorganized place I have ever seen.

I recently enrolled my two girls here. I only had them there for two weeks before I had to withdrawal them from this school. First off there are way to many kids for the "teachers" with no degrees, to handle. Most of the time your children and watched by college students?!? Why would college students have any idea on how to care for large amounts if children! Then apon enrolling them I quickly learned that they disregard and request that you make for your children on food, routine or etc.. They act like they are concerned about the issues at hand but in the bed there not. Most of the teachers and star spend there time running around and conversing and worrying about non-important issue rather then tending to the children. I witnessed for myself one of the teachers aggressively handling of my 2 year old and then I was told that I didn't see what I saw?!? I was also informed by the owner that my 2 yr old child was evaluated by some state social or child therapist worker( that I never consented to) and they advised that I talk to my pediatrician about my child's behavior that she only displays at this facility. This was brought up after my concerns with the facility's and teachers were stated. After being in this facility for two days both of my children got very sick with stomach viruses and diarrhea which they still have symptoms from a week later. I urge parents to make unannounced visits and see what truly going on! I did this as well as my mother and was shocked to see what we saw. And as far as it being clean. I'm not sure what most parents standards of clean is but let me assure you that it only appears clean, it is by no means sanitary.

Exemplary

ool is an excellent example of what a child care provider should be. My son has been with Quakertown Goddard since he was about 3 months old. While i was apprehensive with leaving him at a daycare center, i learned quickly that i had nothing to fear.



First and foremost, they are so clean. Emphatically clean, to be exact. Secondly, the teachers, from the baby room to Bold Bridges, have been nothing but resourceful, helpful, amd above all, kind and loving to my son.



My son was on a great sleeping schedule by about 3 weeks into care, and has maintained good sleeping habits because of his time at Goddard. He doesn't take naps now, but while he was, it was so easy to keep him on the same schedule that he had at school.



The teachers are what makes Quakertown Goddard exceptional. From the time he was a baby, until now at 6 years old, I felt my son's care was first and foremost to them. Even though they had other children to care for, I felt like my son was the only one in the room. I felt that way throughout the entire time I was at Goddard. I got the impression that all of my child's teachers, both full and part time, were happy to be there, and happy to care for the children.



I would highly recommend this facility to any parent, whether your very particular or not. This facility has something that everyone will like, and that's cleanliness, a caring and nurturing culture, and structure for children. The structure is fun and never overbearing, and Goddard has the right mix of people to implement that.
