This is our first year with The Goddard School. It is such a positive environment for our children. They are happy to go to school each day and have made great progress in their education. The entire faculty is friendly and welcoming. The building is bright, cheerful, and safe. The constantly changing themes and artwork keep things interesting. We will certainly miss Goddard when the twins start kindergarten this fall!

The Goddard School has been nothing but AMAZING for my son - he has learned so much and such a short period of time. I am truly amazed. The teachers are also amazing!

My wife and I truly appreciate the time and dedication that the employees bring to the Goddard School. Add the fact that our 6 year enjoyed her time there and began public schools having been well prepared from her experience and time while at Goddard, it was not a tough decision to enroll our 2 year old there beginning in the Fall.

Our 2 children have been in the The Goddard School at Rivers Bend since they were babies. Now they are in 4th and 2nd grade and still attend the after hours daycare. Stephen and Paula's dedication and their team's passion for child care and education is admirable. It is especially important for parents that have a busy schedule to have a place were we know our kids are going to be safe and also will have educational activities. We have been blessed.
