Paradigm Spine Care: T. Joel Berry MD

We absolutely love Goddard, our kids have been there for 3 years and we have experienced 5 classrooms and the school age care while there. We only left because the military made us move to North Carolina, but our youngest 2 will return in a few years for before and after school when my husband retires. We have been in NC for 6 weeks and our 4yr old continues to ask when he can go back to his Otters class. This school saved my job as a healthcare provider, and sanity during the pandemic accommodating us when my then 2yr old wasn't fully enrolled due to still attending a military daycare that was closed. When we realized the closure would extend more than a month we had no issues enrolling him at Goddard full-time. They have been amazing with all 3 of our kids! All the teachers know all of the kids by name not just their classroom which is comforting, there is always a smiling face at the front desk. The educational curriculum is amazing as well. My 4yr old was pulled up to pre-K a early (He has a late Nov birthday) because the younger classes prepared him so well and he would have started kinder at Goddard this year if we didn't move. I have no fears about his kinder readiness when he does get to start in 2023 in NC. We have experienced 7 daycares throughout our military career and this is the most impressive with school readiness. There is still plenty of play and fun throughout the day capitalizing on the learning through play model. The teachers are great at letting you know what is going on in the classroom and with your individual child. They do not hesitate to call you if needed during the day or talk during pick-up or drop-off. I'm struggling to find daycare in our new area, not only because of waitlists, but honestly because none compare to what we left at Goddard.

My daughter attended the Goddard School of Chester (Rivers Bend) for almost two years. We ended up transferring Goddard School locations due to moving out of the area, although I cannot stress enough how amazing this school is. Stephen (the owner) is AMAZING. He knows every parent and child by name, is very personable, and makes certain the families are always taken care. He goes ABOVE AND BEYOND for the students/parents that attend this school. Ms. Doreen (lead teacher) was our favorite teacher in the school, although they are all awesome. Ms. Doreen is always so upbeat, positive, and lively. She makes sure all the kids feel comfortable in her class. The front desk staff always ensures to welcome the parents into the building with the most sincere greeting. They make sure to always smile and stay positive, no matter what's going on. I would highly recommend this school and if it wasn't for my family moving, we would still be there. 10/10 recommend!!! (Thank you for everything Stephen, we are going to miss you) :)

We feel very fortunate that our daughter has been able to attend Goddard School (Chester, River's Bend) for the past two years. She started in the pretoddler classroom and has since moved up levels to a preschool class. Our daughter's language, social, and motor skills have taken off since starting at Goddard, and it is such a joy to hear from her about her day and see what art projects she comes home with. The teachers and staff are excellent, and have been so helpful when working through challenges (e.g., feeling nervous about transitioning to a new classroom). Our daughter enjoys school so much she honestly seems bored when she's just at home with mom and dad on the weekend! The summer program is extra special, with puppet and music shows (and more). This location makes working with the military's Child Care Aware program an absolute breeze. An added bonus is that Goddard has stayed open/staffed throughout COVID, in contrast with the nearby Child Development Center at Fort Lee. Thank you to the teachers and staff at Goddard School - you are all amazing!

Our kids have been attending this Goddard since 2018 and we only have great things to say about the school, staff, and leadership. My oldest has tested into the CBG program in Chesterfield County and I have no doubt that some of that can be credited to his development at Goddard. My youngest is thriving at this Goddard and preparing to enter their private kindergarten program at the age of 4 and is actually ready for it - this is most definitely attributed to his 3+ years at this Goddard School. I would highly recommend RB Goddard School to anyone who wants quality childcare and developmental growth for their kids. We love Goddard and are dreading the day that are kids are grown and have to say "goodbye!"

Dr. Berry has been my Dr. For years for my many neck and back problems. I highly recommend him. He's very caring and compassionate about what he does. He's not a pill pusher like so many pain mgnt Dr's are

Dr. Joel Berry and the staff are very efficient and caring. I have been with Dr. Berry as my Interventional Pain Medicine doctor for nearly ten years. He has helped me deal with chronic pain within my mid, lower back, and right knee. I'm so grateful to be under Dr. Berry's care because he has taken the time to listen to my concerns and act accordingly. I highly recommend Dr. Joel Berry and his staff to assist you with pain relief.

I continue to see Dr Berry because he is truly amazing! I drive halfway across the country just to see him. Thank you!

Love Dr. Berry, he is 2nd to none! One of the very Best of all time! I have seen my share of Dr's in my lifetime, and I am very thankful that I was sent to him! He has helped me so much! I have firm Faith and Belief in his words and treatment plans! Thank You Dr. berry for your loyalty to me helping me be as pain free as possible, and for helping me be able to continue walking, and trying to live my best life! 5 stars is just not enough! Thank You!

The absolute best care at Paradigm. Dr Berry is excellent!! It was a great experience all the way around!

My boys started Goddard in May. We moved from Washington state where they were previously in military child care centers and were very worried about the transition for them. From day one the staff at Goddard has taken so much care with our guys and are truly compassionate to military families and what our kids go thru. If you are looking for a compassionate loving team of caregivers this is the school for you. I will not put them back in a military on post daycare if I can avoid it. My oldest is not an easy child, Goddard doesn't label him bad. They work with him and help him thru his rough days, instead of calling me everyday and complaining about my child. And the staff is amazing with them, they can get them to do things that they will it do for me. There is no crying when I take them in, they are excited to go play and learn. My.23.5 month old is singing parts of the ABC and loves going to play.
