GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

Low turnover on teachers. Teachers seem happy to be there and work really hard and care about the kids. Great curriculum and enrichment activities. My kid was well prepared for kindergarten. I don't feel guilty leaving my kid there while I work because I know they are safe, well cared for, and have a great experience to help them grow with great character every day.

Everyone is so nice and work to make your child feel welcome. My son has had a really hard transition and they have really worked to help him have a good experience. I love the way they smile and greet you each day and I get a full report with pictures everyday. I’m so happy we found Goddard!
