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. She is excited to go everyday and tells me how much fun she has. Also, the teachers are amazing and truly care for the children.

We are a recent transfer from another local daycare chain and have already noticed night and day differences in 1. Environment 2. Learning opportunities and depth of learning 3. New skills brought home by our preschooler 4. Engagement and communication from the teachers and staff As a whole, Goddard offers a much more comprehensive and thoughtful learning environment for our young mind, while also taking great care of the kids.

We have had an incredible experience at Goddard and are so thankful our boys can both be in a safe and loving environment. It makes going to work so much easier each day knowing they are in good hands. Every day my boys are greeted as though the teachers had been waiting all night to see my boys...it's wonderful!

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.

It’s a great school. Teachers seem to really care, which was most important to me. The administrators are very orderly and they send emails and texts that we need.

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!
