The Goddard School of Sparks

Completely unprofessional...would not take my children here.

We had an awful experience with this school. If you have a child with a lot of energy who doesn't always follow directions, I'd think twice about enrolling here. Our son had just turned two when he started. He has a speech delay, but no other issues. After 4 months, we were forced to only attend half days. After 9 months, we were asked to leave VIA EMAIL. Our son is now enrolled at Celebree in Cockeysville, and the experience has been so much better. The teachers are much more willing to communicate with us, and are actually receptive to our ideas. Most importantly, we no longer have to live in fear that we will have to find a new daycare at the last minute! I'm sure Goddard is a great school for kids who are very well behaved, but it wasn't a good fit for our little guy.

We recently took a tour of the Sparks Goddard School and were absolutely impressed with the facility. I was hesitant to say the least about putting my son in a daycare or school environment at his age (17 months) but after the tour that all turned around. What a wonderful group of teachers and staff.

The school is the best around.

The owner (Mike) is such a warm and caring person.

I was impressed with the size of the facility, the planned activities scheduled every day, and how much care they put into everything. There was not one thing that turned me off from the process. I quickly realized that my son would benefit so much more being around other kids in the environment at Goddard. There is just no way that we could do all the things that they do there at home.

It was such a relief and I can't stress that enough to find such a wonderful school.

Our son started going to Goddard when he was 20 months old. He had never been away from home before, and we are concerned about sending him away for the whole day. We researched ALL schools in this area. Once we met Mike and his team, we got a sense of warmth that convinced us that the Goddard at Sparks was the right place for our child.



Anything that we write here is not enough appreciation for the patience of Mike's team in getting our son "settled into" the new environment. He is now 3.5, and I could not have been happier. He has come back from school with a new learning almost every single day. He is just...we are amazed by his confidence and the range of things he talks about. He loves his teachers, and wants to be the "last one" to leave the school!



We had to move out of the Sparks area because of work, but I would recommend this school to all parents who are looking for a high quality, nurturing environment for their little ones. Goddard @ Sparks feels like extended family!!

My child did not show any improvement at all!
