GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

Our third child is going through Goddard at Five forks. The owners of this Goddard have implemented an incredible culture. The Director is very engaged in every stakeholder of the school, from the teachers to the assistants to the students. The curriculum is engaging and challenging, and our kids are thriving. When our oldest finished pre-k and transitioned to public school kindergarten, she genuinely missed Goddard. I wish our Goddard was bigger so more kids could take advantage of it!

Preschool Classroom
The communication is superb, the teachers are friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, and the whole atmosphere is happy. We truly appreciate the dedication and care taken by everyone in the building, especially having started a child at Goddard during a pandemic. Our son comes home every single day asking to go back to school, and this is the most important way to begin his many years of education ahead. THANK YOU!

We love how engaged the students are. They are constantly learning and having fun at the same time! We also appreciate how organized and clean the school is.

Toddler Classroom
The teachers at Goddard are extremely caring, and patient with each child. We love that all ages follow a curriculum, even the babies. I know when we send our child to school that she is learning, being very well cared for, & being shown a lot of love.
