Avery & Spencer's Father

We are very happy with Goddard Grove City! I feel comfortable with all of the staff; it feels like a family and everyone is always so kind. The school is clean and well maintained. I love the easy communication received throughout the day with how our son’s day is going. They have done some cute activities etc for the kiddos. Most of all our son is always so excited to go which I think says the most.
