Vancouver (Salmon Creek) 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 like many things about Goddard, the curriculum, the level of interaction with each child. The fact that the teachers and owners know almost every child and parent by name. That there is a safe (secure) learning environment where I can leave my child and know that she is getting a positive and well rounded age appropriate curriculum filled with loads of play as well as education.

  • I appreciate the holistic approach to learning - that curiosity is encouraged and that each child's individual perspective is celebrated - all while using scientific and educational principles that will help these developing minds and bodies thrive in our complex world.

  • It is definitely a learning environment, where the children have fun. I feel my child is in school versus being babysat.
