- MSMarkie SouderOct 19, 20255.0I can't say enough great things about this school. My daughter is a vpk student and is thriving here. The staff is always friendly and helpful and her teachers are amazing with the kids.
- VAVlad AduntsSep 17, 20255.0I switched my daughter over to Goddard about almost 2 months ago. One of the best decisions I made. This day care is night and day compared to the last daycare she was at. The teachers and staff are warm and welcoming. My daughter can't wait to go every morning and see her teachers. The toys are always clean. With her old daycare I was always worried leaving her but at Goddard I leave her there with easy and comfort knowing she is well taken care of. I would recommend this daycare to anyone.

- CHCallie HoufekOct 18, 20165.0Absolutely amazing place! I was a worried Mama when it came time to send my daughter to school and the staff and environment could not have made the experience easier! We adore the teachers so much that when we moved to another state we frequently call to say hi and check in!

To ensure the health and safety of everyone, if an outbreak occurs and a child has not been vaccinated, they will be asked to stay at home.

Please provide any necessary personal care supplies for your little one, such as diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet.
