Love the new health and safety protocols. I love that all staff regardless of those who directly teach our kids know our kids names and are invested in them. I love the engagement we get.

--Very responsible illness policy --child learns a lot, and seems advanced for age --owner takes personal interest in all the children --pizza day is provided free of charge (one less thing for parents to worry about) --well-defined curriculum for each age group; the theme of the week is a useful way for parents to connect to their child about school

The teachers and owners are naturally kid-friendly and do a great job in the mornings with crying kiddos because of that. In the classroom, there are new and innovative ideas to keep the kiddos interested all the time! Also, the school takes covid very seriously. I love this school.

The curriculum is excellent, and the teachers are fantastic. My children enjoy going to school because they know that the staff at Goddard care about them. We are so thrilled with the decision to send our kids to this wonderful school, and we will be sad to leave when they are too old to attend!
