GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

Read More
This place is as well-run as I think it is possible for a daycare/preschool to be (I've tried 5 others). The lead teachers are experienced non-teenagers, the office staff are clear in their communication and organized, the app they use to communicate your child's day and learning objectives is easy to use and professional, the school is meticulously clean, bright, and secure, their policies and procedures are clear and consistently applied, and the whole team is really friendly.

The facility is super clean and organized, but the teachers is what makes this place special. We can't thank you enough for all that you do for the kids!
Samira & Amir's Mother
Goddard Graduate
We couldn't be happier with our child's experience so far. From the caring staff to the engaging activities, every aspect of Goddard fosters a nurturing environment for our little one to grow and thrive.

We’ve only been here a month and we are seeing incredible improvement with our daughter, and for the first time ever she’s asking to go to school and see her teachers. We love to see that and love that she’s excited to talk about her day!

What Teachers Mean to Me

Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!
