- JGJustin GagnonNov 5, 20255.0Our children are so happy here and have grown so much since starting. We have been at Goddard for over 5 years now and have really enjoyed our time. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly go above and beyond every day (a special shout out to Mr. Jay and Ms. Maria who our kids had a really special connection with). Communication is great and we love getting photos and updates. Strongly recommended!
- KDKresha DeanOct 19, 20255.0We’ve had an absolutely wonderful experience with this daycare! From the very beginning, it was clear that this school is all about creating a positive, engaging, and nurturing environment for children. Every day really is a great day here — our children come home excited, full of stories, and eager for the next adventure. What sets this daycare apart is their incredible range of enrichment activities. They don’t just watch over the kids — they actively help them grow, learn, and discover new interests. Whether it’s exploring new subjects, developing lasting skills, or simply having fun while learning, there’s always something exciting going on. You can tell the staff is passionate about early childhood development and dedicated to providing a well-rounded experience. We especially love how the supplemental programs introduce our child to new concepts in creative, hands-on ways. It’s amazing to see how much our child has learned and grown in such a short time. The diversity of activities ensures there’s something for every child to connect with, and it fosters both confidence and curiosity. Mr. Jay, Ms. Shanequa, and Ms. Maria are just a few of the lead teachers who have had a lasting impact on our children, continuing to support and influence them as they transition through different classes. We’re so grateful to have found a place that blends care, education, and enrichment so seamlessly. Highly recommended to any parent looking for more than just a daycare — this is a place where children truly thrive!
- JPJonathan PoehlmanOct 16, 20255.0We have been enrolled with Goddard Vinings since our first child started in 2019. Over that time we have had truly wonderful experiences with the teachers at every level including Ms. Maria, Mr. Jay, Ms. Shyann, and more recently Ms. Alexis. The teachers are supported by an amazing front office staff led by Evin Dominguez. Evin is the owner and has enrolled both of her kids in Goddard and is onsite every day. Her staff has had virtually no turnover in the time we have been there. The stability to the front office is the reason why we have trusted them with all three of our children. This school and its staff has my highest recommendation.
- MCMalissa ConnorsNov 10, 20215.0I literally cannot say enough great things about this school! My 2 daughters are beyond well taken care of and their teachers are top notch! We are moving in December and have to go to a new daycare and I am heartbroken. Our time here was precious and I am forever grateful. If you get to send your children here, consider yourself very lucky!
- FGFrannie GarciaMar 3, 20161.0Considered enrolling my son here because it's so close to where I work. Drove past and see a playground full of kids being supervised by an employee in a cute sponge Bob hat.. Texting away on her phone. Great supervision. No thank you.
