- JHJennifer Hudson6 days ago5.0The Goddard in Shiloh has been AMAZING for my son and family. He has blossomed and developed wonderfully since day one! I have always been so impressed with how well they incorporate routine with daily activities and learning. All of the teachers know who my child is, and call him by name. They give him hugs every day, and it’s that type of care and attention that makes me comfortable and happy to drop him off each day. He always looks forward to school, and THAT is the stamp of approval I need. I am so grateful to The Goddard School of Village of Shiloh, and I highly recommend them to any one looking for a clean, safe, fun learning environment for their child(ren).
- ALAmanda Lake6 days ago5.0The Goddard at Village of Shiloh has been exceptional for our family. We’ve had multiple children there for several years and each child is met where they are and the teachers have done a great job helping to develop them. The environment is clean, safe and fun. The Directors/owners are so caring and do their best to address any concerns professionally. Our favorite thing about this location is that is that the teachers really have become apart of our extended family. It’s hard leaving your children with someone else and I can confidently say this school has made it so much easier and given my family peace of mind while we’re at work.
