- SJSubrat Jain2 days ago5.0My daughter is in the infant class. She's well taken care of. Teachers are nice and provide the necessary comfort to the child. She enjoys it there. And staff is also very nice and supportive. The place is clean and secure.
- NHNhon Van Ho2 days ago5.0My daughter has been going to the Goddard for the past couple of years, and we’ve had such a good experience. The teachers are really nice, patient, and always willing to help. She’s learned so much since she started, and I can honestly see how much she’s grown. The staff makes the place feel welcoming and safe, and my daughter loves going every day. I really appreciate everything they’ve done for her and our family. Highly recommend!
- DHDeanna Heuer2 days ago5.0The Goddard School felt like a perfect fit for our family from the second we walked in for a tour. All have made it a priority to provide the care, education, and structure we were looking for that extends outside our home. I cannot say enough to express the peace I have knowing our little one spends the week with our Goddard Family!
- BDBrittany DegrandisOct 15, 20255.0I was skeptical about putting my 3 month old in daycare upon having to return to work, he’s been there about 2 months now and every time i enter his classroom i can see how much he loves his teachers & enjoys being there. I have seen how much he has grown since starting at the Goddard School & am very happy with the choice that was made
- CRcindy ruizOct 4, 20255.0So glad my family decided to choose Goddard, especially this location. The teachers really care about the children’s education and growth. They give great feedback and value every child. Nicole, Alyssa, and Michelle are the most kind director I have come across. I love knowing how much my children are in great hands! Highly recommend :)
