Pros

My experience with the school allowed me to grow as an educator through functional classroom experience. I was able to apply prior knowledge while learning hands-on in the classroom. I want to emphasize that my experience was not all completely bad, but the children and their families were one of the only positive aspects of working at The Goddard School.

Cons

One of the biggest downsides of working at the school is compensation. There is also little room for growth opportunities. My experiences with staff and management at the Goddard School were not professional or normal, and until they change their conduct, staff, and policies, I urge you to stay clear of this place. There became a point where one of the teachers in the school was visibly intoxicated and frequently smelled of alcohol, which is a safety risk to children. Several employees informed management several times, but there was no change, and the teacher could still come into the school.

Pros

* Rewarding Student Interaction: Great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in early childhood education. * Meaningful Contribution: Enjoyed supporting young children and contributing to classroom and gym activities.

Cons

* Harsh Supervisory Communication: Feedback frequently crossed professional boundaries into humiliation. * Unprofessional Vocabulary: Management used phrases like "chop-chop" to force rushed classroom cleaning. * Targeted and Singled Out: Received significantly more private correction and harsher treatment than peers. * Public Workplace Humiliation: A supervisor called me an "embarrassment" following a routine parent interaction. * Unsafe Emotional Environment: Ordered not to cry and told to resume work immediately after a difficult moment. * Unprofessional Behavior Around Children: A supervisor physically mimicked a student's aggressive behavior in front of children. * Prioritizing Appearances Over Staff: Management prioritized protecting supervisor dynamics and optics over retaining frontline educators. * Zero Professional Courtesy: Notified of termination while away on a scheduled family vacation in Florida.
