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.

Jerri, Ashley & Lynsey are great. The curriculum and educational activities are excellent. The organization and consistent schedule in the classroom has been wonderful.

Theodore (Teddy)'s Father

Pre-K Classroom
The owner and the teachers love the kids, and take care of the kids. They not only teach kids knowledge but also instruct them to be creative and brave and curious about the world. At here the kids grow with a positive view of the world and the life.

Tianying (Ella)'s Father

Pre-K Classroom
A wonderful school with the best staff! Our girls have learned so much and made great friends. And Goddard is great with one-on-one attention for our shy girl. It feels like a large family instead of a school and we'll be sad when our girls grow out of it

We've been very happy about the level of communication and engagement we've seen from the administration and teaching staff. It's been exactly what we were looking for in a place for our daughter.

Meilin's Father

Preschool Classroom
My children get a quality education while having so much fun! Moreover, the teachers truly care! It's hard work taking care of other people's children, but even on hard days, these teachers find joy in their job and show our children love! As a parent, I can't ask for more! Thank you!

Laiken's Father

Goddard Graduate
I love how attentive and communicative my child’s teachers are during the day and at pick up. I enjoy getting updates throughout the day and staying informed on the lessons. It helps us find ways to continue practicing the same skills or learning the same topics at home. I think Goddard provides our child with many unique opportunities that we wouldn’t have at other schools.

Asher 's Mother

Toddler Classroom
We think very highly of the teachers and staff at Goddard and that is most important to us
