- WHWelton HarrisAug 14, 20255.0We have had an incredible experience with Goddard School Greenwood. My children have been part of the school for years, with one child having gone all the way through, another nearing graduation, and our youngest just about to begin their journey. They absolutely love it here! The education and care they receive are truly top-notch. What stands out most, however, is the amazing staff. Every teacher is kind, attentive, and dedicated, and the office staff is always a pleasure to work with. The facility itself is always clean and well maintained. I've been so impressed that I've recommended them to three different family members, and they've all enrolled their children and are just as happy. We are so thankful for the Goddard School Greenwood team and all they've done for our family.
- SPS PinkleyApr 5, 20185.0We were very concerned when we first enrolled our grandson who had some emotional development delays. The staff was great and very accommodating when we shared tools we used to help with his meltdowns. Soon after he started we noticed a big change. He was now able to play with other kids without the issues he had before. Now with the help of his teachers at Goddard and Sugar Grove he has overcome a lot of issues we saw a year ago. He’s now ready for kindergarten and we are so glad we chose Goddard!
- LCLauran CanadyNov 15, 20165.0"I love their commitment to quality education/programming. They also clearly care for the children that are in their care every day. My son has done extremely well in his educational goals post Goddard and feel that the beginnings and foundations that were developed at Goddard played a key role in his success. My children enjoy coming to the Goddard which for a working family provides us with the comfort and security that are children are safe while not in our care."
- EBEric BrennanFeb 12, 20145.0From start to finish every part of my childs day is handled with care, compassion, and a focus on learning. I'm amazed daily at both of my children and how much they learn at The Goddard School.
