- SGSicilia Grady6 days ago5.0We're very happy with this school. All the teachers and staff are great. Our baby is always happy when we drop off and pick up. We have no complaints.
- JTJennifer TiltonNov 14, 20255.0Fantastic daycare! The staff has always been so caring and incredibly helpful whenever any issues come up. I really appreciate that I never have to pull information out of them, communication has been consistent and clear throughout the two years we’ve been here. My child loves it, and we’ve had such a positive experience overall. Highly recommend to anyone considering this school!

- MPMorgan PrikhodovskiyAug 29, 20255.0Amazing experience here at Goddard Buckeye, we are sad to be leaving due to a job relocation. The teachers and staff at each level have been nothing short of amazing, the facility is very clean and stocked with all the things, and the curriculum is top notch. We have had our kids in the 18month-3 year old classrooms and once they adjusted to go to school (about 3-4 weeks) they did not want to go home at pick up. You can immediately recognize the growth and hear about all the things they are learning each day + the sweet friendships they create are make us so happy to hear about! Verrado is a very special place and if you have young kids Goddard makes it that much more special to be in Verrado. We love this school and will miss it dearly!
- PNPaige NesbittApr 28, 20255.0We had our 2 kids at Goddard, one for 8 months until age 1, and one for 2.5 years until age 4.5. We appreciated its proximity, its curriculum, and the caring teachers. Particularly it was very evident in the infant room that they really cared for their enrollees. Our oldest loved her teachers and friends, and her development progress was evident. The front staff was very communicative and always kind. We will miss Goddard!
