- CHCorbin HallNov 12, 20255.0My wife and I moved here from Florida last month, we were scared to death enrolling our daughter in daycare so soon. The staff at Goddard school met with us on FaceTime multiple times prior to our move, gave us a virtual tour, and again met with us when we arrived. Needless to say they have truly put us at ease and comfort using their services. The cleanliness and attentiveness to the children, the updates throughout the day, and can’t forget the smiles and comfort we see in our child. Thank you guys for what your providing our daughter as well as the comfort and trust you have provided us.
- LALaurice AaronsOct 29, 20255.0My husband and I highly recommend The Goddard School. Our daughter had to begin daycare way sooner than we expected and at a quick pace due to some unexpected health news for our family member who was going to watch her until she was 1. They have been very professional and friendly with us from the beginning. And they were able to have our daughter start very quickly, which was very appreciated. Our daughter started there when she was 4 months old and being a first time mom, I felt all over the place. The infant teachers are fantastic and made me feel very at peace. They would call me often to keep me updated and always answered my calls without hesitation. We absolutely have adored all of her teachers. Our daughter loves them too, as when we pick her up now she always says smile on her face! Anytime we have any question or concern, they have always been very professional with us and do their best to address anything and quickly. It is a super clean and well kept facility. The app that they utilize is very helpful and allows us parents to feel good and confident with the updates/photos that we receive daily. She is in the second toddler classroom now and we have loved seeing her grow there! Thank you for treating our baby like your baby!
- APAvery PresleyOct 16, 20255.0Our son has been going to Goddard since he was 3 months old. It is extremely welcoming and the teachers are amazing! Although he fights us sometimes in the morning, at every pick up he has a huge smile on his face and says he had a great day! They do an amazing job of keeping the kids engaged with different activities throughout the day. Highly recommend if you are looking for an awesome place to send your children!
- MEMichael EdwardsOct 10, 20255.0My child has been going to the school over the past 8 months and has loved everyday. When we arrive in the morning, he is always smiling and reaching for the workers. Everyone is super friendly and always trying to help! I visited three other schools in the area when trying to find the right place for my baby and Goddard was head and shoulders above the competition!
- BCBrendan CurtisOct 7, 20255.0This school has been so amazing for our son! He loves going to school each morning and learning with his friends. We cannot recommend enough, we will be bringing our daughter there once she is born.
