We LOVE this school! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the teachers are very supportive and caring. We started my son there when he was 4 months old, and my older daughter attended their summer camps this past year. We have had nothing but good experiences! The facility is clean and bright, and I love seeing all of the pictures of the fun things the kids are doing during the day. Many people from my neighborhood go here, and we all cannot say enough nice things.

I wanted to warn all mom not to send their children to goddard in lake orion. They in 9 hours only gave my son two bottles even though I provided them with 4 bottle and the times he was to receive them. My 3 month son went 5 hours without being fed!
When I asked why I was told they didn't know they need to feed him and that he sad only been crying 20 minutes or so. This is child abuse.

I had perviously had my son enrolled full time and I occasionally picked him up half days. When I picked him up I say Miss Sam pick small infants up by their arms call them stupid and annoying.

I found the kids were offten put to sleep in the swings. I picked my son up out of his crib and removed his sleep sack and found that his outfit was covered in spit up they but him to sleep covered in spit up.

Don't believe the posative reviews you see online the ownermake fake accounta on yep and Google to leave posative reviews. The reviews are all from the same day from brand new accounts created that day!

As the onsite owner of The Goddard School located in Lake Orion, I can assure you that your child received the same respectful, safe and nurturing treatment that all of our children receive. We take great pride in our quality assurance, which is why we continually meet or exceed state quality standards and support the emotional, social, behavioral and physical development of every child. While there are certainly other aspects to these claims that do not need to be addressed publically, I encourage anyone who has any questions about our school to call us directly at 248-364-4401 or visit us at any time.

This is an amazing school! I have two sons, an infant and preschooler and they love coming to school. The teachers are very friendly and provide a great curriculum. We have been using this school for childcare since my oldest son was 6 weeks old and my second son has had many of the same teachers. It is amazing to develop such a great relationship with the teachers and administration. I love how much both of my children are learning and I know they will be well prepared for Kindergarten.
