Anderson Township Reviews & Recognition

  • I love the educational aspect of the Goddard School. I know that my daughter is there to learn through manipulation and loves the new experiences she gets to participate in and enjoy.

  • I love that as a first time mom, your teachers went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and confidant sending my daughter there. No question was too small. Love seeing the lesson plans for every day, even for babies! Reassures me that while I know she’s still so little, she’s being stimulated and engaged with during the day.

    Preschool Classroom

  • Great experience so far. Especially for our 6 year old. She is having the best summer. I think our 3 year old is struggling a bit but we have been in touch with the teachers. Seems like maybe a higher teacher to student ratio in preK age would be beneficial. They are a difficult age to manage.

  • What's not to like? :) My son has grown so much in your care, and he is meeting milestones and making discoveries like never before. I firmly believe Goddard has fostered a new sense of wonder in my son, and he seems so happy and excited to go to school each day. As a first time mom, I can't convey in words how much that means to me! There is a real sense od security and comfort in watching Jeremy light up when he sees his teachers. It makes going to work much easier for me, for sure!
