- MLMolly LaHood2 days ago5.0Fabulous owner, staff and teachers!
- WCWilliam ComfortSep 4, 20255.0The owner was involved, the teachers cared about my daughter, and they followed through on what they said they were going to do. The fun activities they set up all summer were a bonus.
- CJChristine JobinJun 5, 20255.0We love Goddard School of Northfield! We toured most all of the daycares in the Central Park area and didn't quite feel settled on any of them - but after sitting down with the owner, Lance, we knew this was the one we wanted our son at. Having an only child who has been home with us for his whole life, we were very nervous to make the transition to full time daycare. It has been so seamless and wonderful, though. Our son LOVES his two year old classroom and teachers (Stephanie and Jill!) and actually runs in excitement to get his shoes on when we tell him it's time to leave for school. He has the biggest smile in the morning when we park to go in, and is in such a good mood when we pick him up at the end of the day. He has really thrived in his classroom, and we've seen such a difference in his confidence, curiosity, and speech since starting at Goddard a month ago. He's gone from not speaking and being more of a spectator, to actively trying to communicate with us all day, taking an interest in playing with other kids, and tearing up playgrounds. We are so happy. We also love the communication we receive from directors, the daily reports, and the photos of his day. Really helps with the FOMO. :) Thank you so much to all the Goddard staff, but special thanks to Stephanie, Jill, Jenna, and Lance! We are so thankful.
- KKKatie KrasneNov 15, 20235.0We are so thrilled to send our children to daycare at Goddard. The care is wonderful. My daughter connects with her teachers and all of the staff at school so well. It’s a great resource for the neighborhood and we are thankful.
- EWEllen WeaverAug 23, 20165.0Our two boys have been going here since they opened (over a year). The staff are caring and careful. Lower turnover in staff than our previous preschool. Great programs like bike and splash days in the summer, lots of educational visitors (dentist, zoo, etc). They do their absolute best to make sure your kid is in the right class and thriving. Good communication about how the days go. Most importantly, when something does go sideways they acknowledge and work hard to fix it as a team - no blame game between management and staff!
