All of the staff seems to work together like a unit that genuinely cares about the development and care of my child. I'm always impressed by the unique lesson plans and activities that the teachers plan each day and how much my child learns while at school. It's also nice when your child is excited to go to school each day!

We love the full environment- from teachers to engagement with the kids. Emily is so happy going to school, that she squeals with excitement every time we turn in. I am so appreciative of the teachers being willing to have early intervention therapy within the class and so willing to work with Emily on her development. Also, I appreciate the communication, the ease of drop off/pick up, and the app for daily messages — also with all the cute pictures! Thank you!!

More than just a school; the owners and staff genuinely care about each family that walks through that school. They spare no expense to keep the school clean and safe and for each child to be happy. My daugher absolutely loves going to school each day and is learning so much. We wouldn't be happy anywhere else.

Willow & Beau's Mother

Preschool Classroom
We are new to Goddard and so far have felt very comfortable and happy with our decision to send our child to a Goddard location. The staff very quickly knew our names and made us feel welcome. During the short transition period, the staff/lead teacher took compassionate care of our toddler as she became used to a new setting. Comminication has been transparent and of the utmost importance. We are very pleased so far!

Charlotte's Mother

I love that teachers care about the children and education. I love that leadership (directors and owners) prioritize kids' safety, learning and enjoyment. They care about the details, and are open to discuss personalized needs that are reasonable in classroom.

Always kind and personalized! I feel that my child is thriving and every single one of her teachers and staff know her and love her, and have her growth, development and wellbeing in mind always!
