- AJAlan JordanSep 19, 20255.0Top tier school with the best staff. There is a reason why the wait list is so long. Its the best!
- DHDiane HannahJul 17, 20255.0The teachers and staff here are wonderful. We've had our two girls here for a year and they are just thriving. The teachers are kind, loving, and really knowledgeable, and the administrators are so welcoming and patient. It's been a great place for our family.
- JDJulie DavisJul 14, 20255.0I was helping a friend with a medical emergency by dropping off and picking up her son from this Goddard. I’ve spent most of my professional life working in childcare but had never been to this Goddard. I was so impressed by the office staff and teachers. They jumped right in and helped me get the little guy settled. They clearly recognized the unique situation and the needs of this child and bent over backwards to meet the needs of this family. I was very impressed by my experience!
- NJNicholas JoseAug 15, 20245.0My two oldest children are Goddard graduates and my third child is still in school. The Goddard leadership, teachers, and staff are all amazing and have my full trust and confidence in the care of my children!
- RRRobert Robertson (R8astard)Feb 15, 20245.0Extremely happy with this daycare. Our son loves it as well. Kept up-to-date with daily activities. Very clean facility and friendly staff.
