The Goddard School of Mason uses air filtration systems, a disinfectant sprayer, finger guards, gate alarms, Halo outdoor security cameras, parking lot bollards, custom key code entry, and supervised lobby entry. The program notes low ratios and tenured teachers. It uses the Wonder of Learning education program, which was created by early childhood development experts, and personalized lesson plans focused on whole-child development.
The Goddard School of Mason opened in 1996. Ron and Paula Herman have owned the school since January 2, 1996, and they handed the reins to on-site co-owner Kerra Spaeth in January of 2006. Kerra Spaeth is currently certified in CPR, First Aid, Communicable Diseases, and Child Abuse. The school is described as a family run business with a second generation on-site owner.
The Goddard School of Mason is the only Goddard School located within the Mason School District. It is nationally accredited by Cognia. Recognitions include Regional Goddard School Teacher of the Year, the Quality Assurance Award presented to the Goddard School with the highest average QA score, Best of the North from Cincy Magazine recognizing the best preschool in the North Cincinnati area as voted on by the readers of Cincy Magazine, and Best of Parenting from Cincinnati Family Magazine.
Parent feedback includes comments that communication between the school and parents is “top notch” and that the program is “trust, dependability, friendly.” Parents describe teachers as going above and beyond to get to know families and create meaningful relationships with children, and they mention an “amazing staff” and “great line of communication.” Several parents say their children enjoy attending, that staff take an interest in each child and care very much for the kids, and that it feels like an extended family with a positive atmosphere. Parents also note a good mix of learning and fun, engaged teachers with a vested interest in their child, and describe teachers and staff as excellent, caring, and very responsive. One parent mentions that the Step Up To Quality questionnaire helps parents gauge where their children should be academically, behaviorally, and verbally.
