Ms Lisa is great. The teachers are fantastic, especially Ms Alexis Mejia. As a parent with a special needs child, I cannot say thank you enough to Goddard for being so welcoming and supportive.

Deklyn's Mother

We were very happy with the time our daughter was at The Goddard School. Lisa made the enrollment process very easy---she was extremely prompt in her responses and always very helpful. Plus, Teacher Maria was a delight with our daughter, Elsa.

Elsa's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Great teachers, the curriculum is much more robust than anything we saw at other centers but is still focused on play and natural learning, it's very clean, our child feels loved and safe.

Towa's Mother

Toddler Classroom

The teachers and the staff in general are really welcoming and respectful. They follow up with us whenever we have questions or concerns. We will receive always an answer. The school organizes events to create community and encourage parents to get involved and know each other. The daily report with photos and a description of what our son has been working on, learning are great for us to stay connected on his development.

Andres Galvez's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

As Lisa put during graduation, allowing someone else to watch over our kids was the hardest thing we have had to do, AND we are so lucky that Goddard is our village!

Jacksen & Jaysen's Mother

Elise's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Teachers are great with kids, director understands parents and kids needs and it feels like home. Thanks for this great experience!

Elias & Nicolas's Mother

Toddler Classroom

I like that my preschooler is learning letters, writing, coloring, and chess. He hadn't been very interested in any of these before enrolling with Goddard and now, he's blossoming with new interests! My 15 month old is exposed to so much and although he's not speaking yet, he can clearly follow instructions. I know he will eventually follow suit with his classmates.

Xavior & Chance's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Friendly staff, clean and inviting environment. Fun activities to keep kids engaged, LOVE that they celebrate and acknowledge the cultural diversity of student body. Wish I could be a small child and go there!

Really appreciate the communication, the staff, and the warmth! I would highly recommend Goddard especially now that we are extending hours to 5:30 (helps with the work schedule so much).

Ritsu's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Very organized! Tightly run ship. Super helpful for small kids to be on a predictable schedule- love that about Goddard!!

Otis's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Love that there is a schedule/curriculum for the kids.

Landon & Wyatt's Mother

Toddler Classroom

I like the pictures throughout the day showing what the kids are doing in class. Maybe for new students have pictures more often for a week, but after a week or so and no issues cut back on the pictures to one an hour or couple times a day on the activities of the day. Love the status report email everyday. Maybe summation on the particulars of each child instead of general concepts being worked on. Dont know if kid is getting it or struggling during day based on reports.

Shawn's Father

Oliver's Mother

Preschool Classroom

It's scary to send your kiddo to be with people you don't know, in a place you're not familiar with but my daughter is clearly happy to spend time here. She smiles and waves when we walk through the door, and that positive reaction gives me the utmost confidence that this is a great place.

Pierre's Father

Before/After School Program

Aiden loves it there - the only school he’s been to where he doesn’t want to go home with me at the end of the day! I very much appreciate the mask policy and fully vaccinated staff members, as well as swift communication about any Covid cases. We are also Impressed with the topics taught in class - ASL, Spanish, chess, yoga, typing. They didn’t teach those things at Aiden’s last two daycares.

Aiden & Elliott's Mother

The teachers and management are good about communicating early and often, which has been a big help managing behavior issues.
