My children and I love the Goddard School in Cornelius. My two children attend there now and I couldn't be happier. We are all greeted warmly by the entire staff, and everyone seems to know the children by name, not just the teachers in their classroom. They learn so much everyday and I am so relieved to have found a warm, caring school for my children while I am at work all day. Thanks Goddard!

I totally disagree with nov. 18 & jan 14th reviews of The Goddard School. I have found the director to be very plesant and available. The teachers are educated and have taught my children so much. My older children were reading before they started kindergarten. My youngest is still there and is more advanced than all of my friend's children who attend other preschools. The teachers treat(ed) my children like they were their own. They were/are always available, warm and wonderful. I would HIGHLY recommend this preschool.

I totally agree with November 18, 2008 review of the school. I found the Director to be very cold and the schools only concern is quantity not quality The teaching staff was very inadequate for what I was looking for for my child. I would not consider this a 5 star school, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

I found the director to be very disengaged and moody. I'm used to pre-school being an extension of the family and a warm and loving environment. She set a very negative tone. The teachers were not comfortable speaking with the parents, so they copied off a report about what the children did with a personal blurb that read, 'Susie enjoyed playing outside with her friends,' which is way too vague to be useful. They were supposed to use positive reinforcement for discipline, but in my child's class they made them throw the stickers they had earned in the trash if they misbehaved. I will not send my youngest child there.
