Buckeye (Verrado) Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • Goddard has been such an incredible experience for our son and our family. The love he receives there and how much he learns is more than we could’ve imagined and are so grateful for all the staff! Everyone feels like an extension of our family and you can tell they all genuinely care about your children.
