We couldn't be more pleased with Goddard's methods - we feel our son is advancing quickly and we are amazed each week by things he says and what he has learned. Although he had 2-3 more years at Goddard, we have no doubt he will be more than ready for kindergarten, and we have loved all of his teachers so far. It is such a comfort to know that your child is being loved and cared for while you are at work all day. Thank you for all you do!

From an early age and in each classroom, your teachers focus on developing skills in each child that will help them to develop as a individual and prepare them for school and life!! Very exciting. Also, love the feature of being able to receive pictures of the kids throughout the day and receive their daily reports electronically. Your staff is wonderful. Thank you for yours and your staff's love and support for our children. The Friels

Relationships. The admins and teachers truly seem to want to know me and my child. They listen and care if I have questions or concerns.

I feel the teachers create fun and challenging lesson plans for the children. I know my child has a fun day, but is also learning. Everyone is very friendly and the school is so clean.
