Novi (Grand River) Reviews & Recognition

We have been extremely impressed with the security, friendliness of staff, and exceptional communication that has occurred during our time at Goddard. We enjoy the app updates that we get with what activities our daughter did for the day and the thoroughness of her diaper changes, feeding, and napping. We feel that the staff truly care for our daughter and are attentive to her needs.

As a parent, I want my children to feel safe, cared for, loved and have fun when they are not with me. The Goddard team are genuine, thoughtful and have a passion for what they do. The daily reports are very thorough and I appreciate reading what they did/learned that day. My children still talk about the special visits & events, which is an added bonus!
