Private Schools

Having previously taken our daughter to another daycare in the Mason area, Goddard was such a breath of fresh air. The list of our complaints for our old daycare were quite lengthy. High turnover of staff, teachers don't have enough experience, forgetting/disregarding our daughters milk allergy, not report injuries, leaving her in the crib for too long, classroom size, age of kids in the classroom poor communication and impossible to give management negative feedback (they were quite defensive). It probably took my wife and WAY too long to switch daycares, we just kept wanting to work with them. We figured that the parent/daycare relationship required work and communication, but not matter how much we communicated things never improved. Finally after having our daughter in the daycare for almost a year, we decided to make the switch. BEST DECISION EVER. As I said before Goddard is such a breath of fresh air. I was just hoping a few things would improve, but every, single, thing on my list is not an issue at Goddard. I can't really say for sure why this is the case, but I have a few theories. For one, they are owner operated and the owners are always there. Literally every single morning I waive to one of the owners. Secondly, they require teachers with experience and often the teachers have a degree in child education. Finally, the communication from management is really good. They are forthright about every single thing. Whether a teacher leaves or our daughter bumps her head (both of which are unavoidable), we get calls, we get emails. The other part of Goddard that is quite impressive is the fact that hey have a curriculum and actually follow it. I think our old daycare claimed to have a curriculum but they were barely keeping our daughter alive, much less teaching her something. Goddard has taught our daughter some sign language, some words , to clean up after herself, how to use utensils, how to interact with other children, etc. I mean, even what I just listed is such a small representation of all the things they attempt to teach her. So far I've had two experiences with daycares, and the experiences couldn't be more polarized. I would give our other Mason daycare a "D-" (b/c they at least fed her and kept her alive) and I would definitely give Goddard an "A+."

Both of my girls are currently enrolled at Goddard and we have been there for four years. I have experience with all levels except infants. I can't say enough good things about the educational environment at all levels. I've also seen very little turn over which I think is a testament to how much the teachers love and our committed to the kids. It's exactly where you want your kids to be when you aren't with them.

My daughter spends her Summers begging to go back to school. Faculty is top notch.

Excellent education, wonderful, caring staff, very affordable tuition!

Sending our two sons to Moeller was one of the best decisions we've ever made. They both would come back in a heartbeat if they could (one is 27, the other is 24). Many people ask us why we chose to pay tuition for a Catholic high school when a good public school system was available to us (Mason). My response was, and still is, some things are priceless.

Excellent school and staff. Very hard working teachers!

This is my school and I love it

Bethany is a great place for learning and education! I was an alumni and I had a great experience form bethany!

Great fit for our family -- well-qualified teachers, welcoming staff & challenging curriculum. Thankful for the friends who recommended MHA to us 2 years ago.

The one good thing I can say is that the community is very nice and welcoming. But the school has little to no positives, I will now list off the problems. They use the 7-point grade scale which no other school uses, Many of the teachers are too strict and not very nice, they give out excessive amounts of homework which causes too much stress for one person to handle, they cram in as many assignments as they can right before a break, the uniform rules are way too strict and dress code violations result in harsh and unfair punishments no matter how small the violation, the vice principal gave my child a detention for touching a cup, you can work as hard as you can on a project and still get a bad grade, the staff is always worried about the little problems instead of the big problems, the pipes aren't insulated and burst every winter and flood the school and church with sewage, any complaints are not taken seriously, and the amount of stress caused by excessive amounts homework have resulted to panic attacks, depression, serious insecurity and in all lack of confidence several times in the past.The school also does not do a good job at teaching for such a high price.

Because our is where I go to learn, and get education.

Great school, with quality education!

Fantastic school where Christ is at the center of everything. Great teaching using an integrated formation approach.
