Middle River (Greenleigh) 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.

  • My son started at your location a month ago and he is doing so well. His teacher is wonderful, the center is wonderful, and I have already recommended you to two friends who are looking for preschool/childcare options.

  • Really love the environment and learning experiences that my child was able to have while attending this center. Loved the teachers and the families that my child was able to get to know and build relationships with. Clean and modern center with lots of family involvement.

  • Enrolling our daughter at the Goddard was one of the best decisions we've ever made. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and smiles. The teachers are an exceptional team and my daughter learned a lot through creative projects, lessons and it just fueled her curiosity to want to learn more (at and outside of school). Thank you Goddard School at Middle River for your dedication and unwavering commitment.

  • Everyone is so kind and willing to work with me as a parent. I love the teachers and getting updates about my daughters day. I love the lessons and how my daughter can be creative and the goals are clearly outlined so I know what she is working towards!
