- MHMorgan Moore HornOct 14, 20255.0We love our Goddard family. Our daughters have been loved and cared for by their amazing teachers and admin staff for 3 years and we couldn’t be happier about our experience.
- BLB LNov 11, 20245.0The school is pricey but there is definite quality at this school in care and education. We were hesitant to enroll our son, but, now that he has been in Goddard's care, we will not move him to any other daycare, not the cheaper ones nor the more expensive one. We have a full time nanny for our other baby and could keep our older child at home, but I have been so pleased with our son's development and excitement about being at Goddard. The owner and staff are all excellent and very responsive. I have a very high standard for care and low tolerance for expensive schools that dismiss the parents' questions/concerns: this school has kept me very, very happy. I cannot say enough great things about Goddard, Little Rock.
- SWSarah WilkersonFeb 20, 20245.0Our son loves the Goddard School! His teachers take a genuine interest in his development and he loves them!
- JPJayna PatelJul 14, 20235.0We are HUGE fans of the Goddard School of Little Rock! We have been there over a year but within weeks of us starting there, all the teachers knew us and would call my son by name at dropoff and pickup. All the staff are wonderful and passionate about teaching and care giving! Their app is awesome that provides updates and photos throughout the day. There is always something new going on in the school as well as the classrooms with lots of interaction. I would highly recommend this location because of the staff!
