- BPBen PlankisAug 20, 20255.0Both our children graduated from Goddard and they were very well prepared for kindergarten. We always felt they were safe, and thoroughly engaged with activities everyday. Some of the teachers have been there for a decade, or more, which is a testament to their dedication to teaching and to the overall management and leadership from the owners. We could tell that teaching was more of a passion and life's work than just a job for the teachers. The support staff were always professional and friendly. We would highly recommend Goddard to anyone.
- BTBryant TempletonAug 4, 20255.0Fantastic school with amazing staff! They have been incredibly accommodating and helpful since our daughter fell ill. They have supported us and just rallied around our older daughter to make her feel loved. Great education, fun activities, great school!
- LLLauren LillyJul 25, 20255.0Goddard Meridian is amazing. Our son is almost 2 and has been there since he was 7 months old. The owners are incredible and care deeply for the families. The teachers are genuine in their love and excitement for teaching and taking care of our kids. Our son is excited to go to school in the morning and is happy when we pick him up in the afternoon. Goddard has been such a good experience for us as parents and our son - he is developing and learning so many skills, vocabulary, social interaction skills, etc. and it’s been awesome to watch him grow.
- EEEmilyApr 2, 20255.0My family and I are so glad to be a part of the Goddard Family. We started our daughter with them at 6months old, she is now 13 moths old and thriving. The daily updates, the activities that they include whole families on, it's great. It is wonderful to have such a great team as first time parents. They are always willing to take a phone call and give advice on areas where we have questions. I can tell in the pictures that are sent that my daughter loves being there. They communicate well about all things, good and sometimes not so good like if certain classrooms are experiencing illness. Please consider Goddard for your kids, they are amazing!
- JJJon JarboeNov 16, 20175.0Our 12 month old daughter started Goddard when she was 3 months old. The Goddard family has been more than supportive throughout almost year we've been there. Dropping your child off for school is not easy, but Goddard has made the process much easier The Goddard is owned by a fantastic family, but specifically Kirsten is absolutely amazing. Laurie and team in the infant room are also amazing. Dropping our daughter off was tough, but watching her reach out for Laurie and the other teachers reassured us she was actually looking forward to school. Every interaction we have had so far has been a positive experience. Would highly recommend Goddard, and specially the Englewood location
