- CMChristina MortifoglioNov 13, 20255.0Our family has been at Goddard since 2021 and have had a great experience. Everything from the teachers to the administrators to the facilities has been great for our family. Highly recommend!
- ACAlex CaraccioloNov 13, 20255.0Our 18-month-old has been at Goddard now for four months, and we couldn’t be happier. The transition from his old daycare was a bit hard at first, but the wonderful teachers helped him adjust quickly. Now he runs into class every morning with a big smile! We’ve seen incredible growth in him since starting here — socially, emotionally, and developmentally. It’s clear he’s in a caring, nurturing environment.
- ECEmily COct 16, 20255.0Goddard is amazing! I wish we got off the waitlist sooner!! The teachers and administrators are so kind and truly love all these kiddos! They accommodate and support all learning styles to ensure every child succeeds and is most of all happy coming to school everyday. The teachers will go out of their way to meet your child where they are developing and the progress you will see in such a short time period will only make you realize you are doing the best thing for your child! The administrators do not miss a beat when it comes to your child’s success and this level of attention to detail is truly incredible. Do not take shortcuts when it comes to investing in your child’s education from an early age! This is such crucial time you cannot get back for these little learners! And the best bonus is your child will come home so happy about their day and excited to go back the next!
