- JLJessica LindsayNov 17, 20255.0We adore Goddard. We chose them while I was pregnant with my son and I immediately knew this was the place we would be sending him. They value their eduction and commit to ensuring every child feels loved, safe, and respected. We have yet to meet a teacher that hasn’t been warm and welcoming. Our son loves everyone here and they love him as if he were their own. They are always accommodating to our needs as a family. I recommend Goddard to everyone.
