At The Goddard School located in Wellington, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
False advertising. Called and asked regarding if they offer after school programs. Lady on the phone said no (very rudely), even when their website clearly states otherwise.
