- MOMelanie Olmstead3 days ago5.0Our children love their school. We feel so fortunate to have found Goddard Carmel-West. We have two little ones attending and we've been part of the Goddard family for two years now. We never worry about the safety of our children at Goddard because we know it's a top priority. The most stand out part of this school is the teachers. We have no idea how they make each child feel so special, but they do. And they make the parents feel like their children are so special. Ms. Madi, Ms. Amille, Ms. Alycia, and Mr Mitchell have been so great for our family over the past 6 months, but truly each classroom has felt so special for us.
- ABAshley Burks4 days ago5.0We love our teachers and the staff at Goddard Carmel West! They are great communicators, which is so important as a parent. They love and care for my littles so much and I appreciate the care they provide!! The front staff are warm and welcoming every day. The teachers are the best and go above and beyond!!
- KNKyle Nagy4 days ago5.0This school is amazing!! We have two boys there that have adored each and every one of their teachers! Not only that, but in a world where it feels like every warm body in a daycare building is being used to meet ratios this school truly stands out! There are staff that are truly dedicated to curriculum, operations, and management. We're always asking ourselves 'Where did he learn that?' (in a positive sense), and we're sure the answer is at the Goddard School.
- JCJacob Collins5 days ago5.0Incredible school! My son has attended since he was 4 months and I don’t think our son would be where is developmental without the care, love, and support of his teachers and staff. Would recommend!
- AHAmy Hinman6 days ago5.0Highly recommend! We changed schools in August and it was like night and day. The kids love going and are happy when we pick them up. They learn a tremendous amount and amaze me with how much knowledge they pick up every day. The teachers are great and it's a very pleasant experience.
