- JPJessica Powell2 days ago5.0My son recently moved to Goddard from another school in the area and I could not be happier. The teachers are incredible, caring, reliable, and invested in my son. He is finally happy to go to school and I have already seen improvement in his development both socially and intellectually.
- SSSMaRey3 days ago5.0We have had a wonderful experience with Goddard after enrolling a few months ago. The teachers are all very kind and attentive, as is the office and support staff, and the Director. The school is also very clean, well organized, and they have a wonderful curriculum. We’re very pleased with the education our child receives at Goddard!
- KSKimberly SchaeferNov 17, 20255.0Impressed that they have separate classes for the kids to attend! (PE class, language, and STEAM) Having those classes separate from the classroom allows the teachers to focus more the core skills.
- DADominique Goldson AtkinsonOct 15, 20255.0Goddard is amazing! I would recommend them to anyone! I truly love how attentive the teachers are and how responsive everyone is when I have a question or a concern. I really feel supported and I truly believe that my child is in expert hands. It’s amazing to see how quickly he’s picking up words and how much he’s learning because of the school. I have so much gratitude for them and all that they provide!
- CBChelsea BurnOct 15, 20255.0I have two boys enrolled. Both come home happy, clean, and I am so amazed by how rarely either of them get sick. This speaks to how clean the facility is, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll them here. The curriculum is great, and the teachers put so much effort into creating enriching learning experiences. I love receiving photos of my guys throughout the day!
