- CTChristina TruongOct 15, 20255.0My daughter has been attending The Goddard School since she was one year old, and we’ve had such a wonderful experience. All of the teachers and staff know her by name and treat her with so much kindness and love. They’ve cared for her since she was in diapers to now being officially potty trained, and it’s been amazing to watch her grow and learn so much along the way. She truly enjoys going to school every day. Anu is always responsive and follows up right away whenever I have a question or concern, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent. I’m so grateful for the care, communication, and sense of community this school provides.
- JWJennifer WrightOct 15, 20255.0My daughter has been going for 2 months now and has been nothing but positive. I appreciate the thorough communication via email and app and always responsive to my calls and emails. The facility is always clean and well maintained. The teacher are so sweet and make my daughter feel like she’s at home
- SSSarah SagerJun 6, 20255.0My son has been at Goddard almost a full year. He has Ms. Yesenia as his teacher who has fostered a great community with our little group. My son has become a social butterfly with his friends and is learning so much at just 22 months. They know how to handle any big feelings he may have and he always surprises me with new stuff he learned at school. Any concerns I had about daycare going into it, I no longer have. Goddard was the best decision I could have made. I’m forever thankful to his teachers, administration, and owner Anu- who he may love almost as much as his momma :).
- KWKayla WilsonMay 6, 20255.0We have been going to the Goddard school since our son was four months old and have felt he was in the best of hands through each stage and classroom. He does arts & crafts each day, plays outside, and comes home with new dance moves and words daily. The smiles he receives from Ms Yesenia, Ms Bertha and Ms Sarahi me us feel incredibly comforted dropping him off in the morning and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to select Goddard!
- RJrachel jacksonMay 15, 20244.0Ownership is invested in children and families at Goddard. The facility is cleaned every day and is safe. The curriculum is good. All Early Education goes through challenges since it is a difficult business to operate and we have experienced alternative schools in the past. We came to Goddard because of the key items listed above which I believe has allowed the school to prosper.
