We have had a wonderful experience at Goddard and recommend this school without hesitation! Our daughter has grown and learned so much and genuinely loves going to school. We fully intend to keep her here until she goes to kindergarten!

I have attempted several times to reach the Goddard School. I have called several times, leaving voice mail messages each time with no call back. When that didn't work, I went directly to their website and sent an email request for information and contact. That didn't work either.
My wife & I would love to consider the Vine St location for our upcoming childcare, however The Goddard School seems to have little interest in assisting.
***As a follow up--a couple of days after my review (above), the owner of The Goddard School took time out of his day to locate me on LinkedIn and view my profile--yet still did not have the courtesy to contact me in regards to their lack of service.

We have had an amazing experience at the Goddard School at City Park. My son is excited about learning and going to school every day. They tolerate his differences and look for ways to work with his unique style of learning. It has been a true partnership of parents and teachers/administrators to get the best possible outcomes for him.
