| - Pros: My 3 year old kid goes here and likes it. I really like the teachers. It's clean and, again the teachers are great so overall it gets high marks from me. He can count to 20, knows his abc's, can spell his name, likes his friends, and has a lot of fun. I often wonder if he'd know this stuff if it'd been just up to me to teach him (probably not).
Cons: Cost - it's high and if you have more than one kid it's REALLY high. They do not provide lunch (you have to pack it everyday) and for the cost you'd think they would provide it. Also, the goddard school literature seems to promise, or at least promise to provide you with a lot more than we've gotten relative to academics - particularly languages (e.g., spanish). That's never been taught as far as I know - maybe it will be when he moves up to the classes for older kids. Also, this one has no internet cams which would be so great but is not to be and I don't think that's changing anytime soon. Finally, parking can be tough during peak pick-up and drop off times.
Bottom line: Having said all that, the most important thing is that we trust them with our precious child and we do. No amount of Spanish can make up fo that. Highly recommended.
