- TFTristan FretwellJul 10, 20255.0Goddard is an amazing school, and the experience my family has had with the school over the past 5 years has been nothing short of excellent. The teachers are experienced, friendly, and communicate frequently and effectively. I have always felt that my children were safe and well taken care of every day they have been at this school. And by the time my oldest graduated, she was well prepared for kindergarten, both academically and socially. I would absolutely recommend this school to everyone. You will not regret choosing Goddard for your kids!
- RJRuchir JainJun 10, 20255.0Goddard is the best thing that happened to us as new parents. It's a safe space where once we drop our son off, we can breathe a sigh of relief for a few hours and focus on work. And with periodic updates, we know our son is getting the utmost love & affection he would have received from us. I think this is the best school in this category.
