What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

We've been with Goddard since June 2017 and the teachers have all been amazing through the years. They have shown them love and compassion all while they learn so much in each classroom and fully prepared for Kindergarten when that time comes.

Morgan & Piper's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I know my children are well cared for and loved by their teachers. They also learn a lot!

Madeleine & Fletcher's Mother

Infant Classroom

Great ownership and excellent teachers. We have always felt like our kids have been safe and well cared for at the Goddard School. They are also excited to go each morning, and we have witnessed how much our kids have learned!

Lydia & Grace & Andrew 's Mother

Toddler Classroom

I love how much my children learn and that they are in a learning environment with other children their own age. I also love that they are kept busy all day with learning or play and I can concentrate on my own work knowing that they are happy and well cared for.

John Thomas & Ava's Mother

Preschool Classroom

When we first stepped into the school we noticed how bright and clean it was. Everyone greeted us and was very friendly. We loved the big windows into each classroom. Everyday that I picked my daughter up she was so happy and had so much fun. We loved the daily reports on her because we had conversation starters and could ask her specific questions about her day. We loved the school!!!

Carina's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Everything. The dedication of the staff, director and teachers. The clear investment in my child’s safety, whole health, and development. Clean, safe, fun, and informative! All I wanted in a “daycare”. This is MUCH more than a daycare. My son’s learning and speech and interests reflect that Goddard Shawnee is truly a child development center and succeeding! Thank you Goddard Shawnee, love you Lisa and all faculty and staff!
