We could not be happier with the care our daughter is receiving at The Goddard School of Conway. From the day we started, everyone at the School has been welcoming and supportive. Even the teachers in other classrooms know our daughter's name and speak to us, and her, as we move throughout the school. Our daughter has also been sick less frequently since moving to this school, thanks to their cleaning and sanitizing routines. They use an inquiry-question-based curriculum and there is evidence of the curriculum daily. I love that we get to see pictures of their activities, we know what book they read each week for their morning meeting, and we have easy communication with her teachers and administrators through the phone application. The teachers are well qualified for early childhood; You can see their staff profiles on the website. As a clinical social worker with an emphasis in child welfare, social/emotional learning is very important to me. The Goddard School meets all of our childcare needs and more. I am incredibly thankful we financially prioritized our daughter's early childhood experience, it is well worth the investment!
