This daycare, which does not meet the standards of quality and professionalism of a real school, is now retaliating against my son following the posting of this review. Not only did they unprofessionally confront my family about this review but now they are retaliating against a 2 year old child by at minimum intentionally excluding him from the birthday list in their monthly newsletter. Do not forget to ask them about their program where they allow minor high school students to perform services in their facility. They were not up front with us when signing the contract that minor children will be employees performing various services. There have been times where we have had concerns about the level of care being provided to my child. Specifically no nap for my 2 year old son twice in a week and every lunch for several months he was not consuming an adequate amount of food. It was documented in their daily reports and corrective action was only taken after we voiced our concerns. There have also been injuries sustained and we understand these things happen but the frequency and a few unreported minor injuries added to our concerns. We suspect there may have been a particular employee, who is no longer employed, that may have been the root cause of many of the issues but we have no way to confirm that. Now In June 2017 they hand us a piece of paper indicating they are being investigated by the state for inappropriate discipline or something similar and they made no responsible attempt to immediately notify parents of this alleged, potential danger they allowed children to be subjected to. They sent an urgent email to tell parents that splish splash swimming day is canceled due to a water conservation issue in Wentzville however their incompetent director and absentee owner do not see it fit to immediately notify people via email of a state investigation into their facility. One week later the facility has failed to provide any details of this alleged incident to me as a parent as they hope people will simply forget about it. And now we get a July bill sent to us via email after 10pm at night which is showing higher rates that were not authorized to take place until September. Yes they can email me a bill after 10pm and send an urgent email that their phone or computer systems are down but no email about "allegations that were recently made against a teacher in our Young Toddler classroom regarding the inappropriate use of discipline." That is an excerpt from the piece of paper they handed to parents only when they happened to see them at the facility the next time. That means if you didnt take your kid to the facility that day you were not notified at the earliest opportunity possible. What responsible or capable owner considers immediate mass emails necessary for their internet going down or to tell parents not to bring their kids swimsuit to school however do not take comparable steps to ensure EVERY PARENT of a child at their facility is IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED via mass email of an allegation reported that "has been reported to our state licensor and corporate office." This is something that should have been handled with much more urgency and care than their internet going down. In my humble opinion the Wentzville locations ownership and management team do not appropriately represent The Goddard Schools brand and damage their reputation.

The Goddard school in Wentzville is a wonderful place! The teachers, directors, and owners are awesome people! My husband is a school teacher, and he takes our childrens education very seriously! The progress she has made in her time at Goddard both educationally and maturity-wise has been absolutely amazing! The curriculum is outstanding in terms of what children are exposed to. My daughter has developed many new friendships as well. Everyday on our way home she talks about what they learned. The daily reports are always filled out, and in her pick up slot! Everyone knows my girl, and she thinks that is just so very cool! She feels incredibly special! We highly recommend the Goddard School in Wentzville! A+ for this place and their amazing staff!!

Our children attended school at Goddard from age 2 until Pre-K, and we can’t say enough great things about our experience. The skilled and loving teachers, dedicated owner, and entire hardworking staff are wonderful. The curriculum is second to none. No other daycare around puts on as many fun and creative extra events, which my kids still talk about. Our children were more than ready for Kindergarten, both socially and academically when the time came. The strong foundation Goddard provided for our children helped shaped our kiddos into who they are today. Thank you Wentzville Goddard!

My child has attended since she was a few months old (she is 5) and my other child from 3 months. I love the teachers, the curriculum, and the extra events they put on for families. The office staff is very communicative. I wish the owner was around more, but I would not hesitate to enroll my kids here! Also, in response to another review, I understand wanting to know that "underage" kids are employed here. Actually, the girls are all seniors about to graduate (I know them personally) and are phenomenal.

Being new to the area, and previously having our daughter with a nanny, we were not happy with the new situation of needing daycare. However, we adore the staff, the educational program, th experiences, and the values our child is learning. We would not go back to a nanny now, Goddard School in Wentzville is fabulous, and more than met our expectations. Most important, our daughter is happy to be there. Highly recommended.

My daughter has gone to goddard since 2012. We have had such a great experience at this school! She has learned so much from the program and she is more than ready for elementary school. The owner and staff really take a personal interest in the kids that go there! The owner does so many extra things for the kids it shows how much she cares for the families of her school! I would highly recommend this school!

My son has not started yet, but interaction with the owner left me with bad feelings about this place contrary to other reviews. Possibly I will modify my review later, but based upon my interaction with the primarily the owner I rated this place accordingly.

The Wentzville Goddard school teaches a curriculum where kids can learn and have fun. I am a high school teacher and would highly recommend this preschool. I feel that the entire staff (e.g., teachers, director, and owner) really care about the kids.

I cant say enough good things about The Goddard School in Wentzville. I currently have a 4 year old that has been attending the school for just over 2 years! Her learning has been incredible, and she loves her teachers and friends!

I cant say enough good things about this school. My wife and I knew from our first visit that it would be a good fit. Our daughter is learning and never runs out of stories to tell.
