My daughter is very happy at Goddard! She is well taken care of by the team. She attended a different daycare that was very different and I'm glad I switched her to Goddard!

These people traumatized our whole family, my kid is thriving in another establishment.
Please stay away from this place. I have witnessed them doing terrible things to the littles.
