The Goddard School of

Grand Rapids – Byron Center

The Goddard School has a great culture and warm feeling that is a must for a daycare. As parents, we feel comfortable with the staff/future staff that they will treat our child like their own. We also feel comfortable going to the teachers/directors with any concerns/questions we have - the relationship with the staff at Goddard feels like a partnership vs. a barrier.

My daughter is in a much better place developmentally after moving her to the Goddard School. I appreciate the attention to detail and effort put into making her experience safe and engaging.

I have recommended Goddard to two families and they have joined. We were impressed by the director and teachers and the fact that they have low turnover in staffing. The structure of Goddard was also impressive to us and we have enjoyed how much our child has grown since starting at Goddard.

On three separate occasions, our family chose Goddard. While each of their experiences were uniquely their own - all three of our children benefited a great deal from the school’s caring staff and robust curriculum.

The teachers genuinely care about each child in their care. It is clear that our kids feel loved and supported there and that they are learning so much.

We always feel good about taking our child to daycare and he also seems to have a great time. We trust the teachers and leadership to make good decisions and keep him safe.

They have amazing teachers that truly care about your children. They also provide a great educational program that fosters mental and emotional learning.

I love the intentionality behind the curriculum at Goddard. It’s really well done and my son is thriving. Staff is genuine and truly feel my child is safe there.
