Anderson Township 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.

  • 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.
