What parents say
My son went here from age 3 till he finished pre school. He loved it and we felt safe knowing he was in great hands! I would get updates if he was having a rough day and we got close to the director and she treated my son as her own. He’s now in 1st grade and is still close to the kids he went to pre school with there :)
Nicole Rogers · 4/5 on Google · 7 months agoMy son is excelling and is so happy going to Mother Goose. I even postponed moving so my son can finish his pre-k education here. Sam the director is always finding fun new activities/events for both the parents and students. All the teachers are friendly and work just as hard! I feel blessed that we found a great center!! Highly recommend 😁
Ashley Drumheiser · 5/5 on Google · 2 years agoI chose this center based off of local reviews. What I didn't know was they would be changing directors. I have no doubt before the transition things were a lot different. Ms. Sam is an awful director. If a child tells you that they really don't like someone and they really don't want to go anymore, you listen. Kids are honest judge of character and they feel energy. . After 3 short months we switched out. Fast…
april cosner · 1/5 on Google · 3 years agoI truly couldn’t be anymore happier than choosing Mother Goose for my boys. I’m a single mom with 3 boys and life is already challenging. Everyone there is super friendly and I know my boys are in amazing hands. I don’t have a fear when I drop them off. Thank you for taking care of my babies and being there for them while I’m at work. Best daycare around
