- JBJoana BromleyNov 4, 20255.0We recently moved from Wisconsin to Indiana. One of my biggest worries was finding a daycare for my 1 and 3 yr old. We left behind a daycare in Wisco we absolutely loved and one that loved on our kiddos in all the ways you hope for as a parent. Due to my job hunt and shifting start date, Goddard was able to accommodate us even after pushing back out start date a could weeks. I greatly appreciated their flexibility, especially during a stressful transition for me as a working mom. Due to the several changes our kiddos had a rough transition. New space, new teachers, and new schedule. Ms Tati, and Ms Kelsey were amazing with our 3 yr old son. They helped us strategize to make drop offs easier and quickly develop a relationship with him to provide some extra TLC when he was sad. From what I have seen they are firm but loving and provide a safe space for my son to grow! My 1 yr old daughter really struggled, especially in the infant room. She was not used to the napping space and with this being her first time in daycare really struggled to adjust to the new faces. After only two weeks she was moved to the toddler room where she really stared to thrive. Ms Emery was very loving and has such a calm presence which I appreciate. My daughter now reaches for her and the smile on her face in picture updates tells me she is loving it! Thank you Goddard for working with us and helping our kiddos adjust!

- KYKristen YoungSep 9, 20255.0Our daughter has been at Goddard since she was one. She has grown from a shy little love who took months to warm up to every new teacher to a free-spirited, giggly, smart, confident four-year-old. Miss Melaya and Miss Abbi helped her grow so much over the last year, and Miss Bre, Miss Eugin, and again Miss Melaya are absolutely knocking pre-K out of the park already this year. They are organized, warm, professional, and just so incredibly kind to all of the children they’re caring for, including my child. It’s beautiful to watch, and I’m so grateful to them. And Miss Heather is an unsung hero. Thank you for making the meals for all of our sweet babies. 💕
- DEDan EstesAug 29, 20255.0We have had a great experience in sending our two daughters to this daycare. Ms Tati, Ms Kelsey, Ms Melaya, Ms Cora, and Ms Lauren are household names for us, and have made very positive impacts on both girls. Our oldest started K this year and is extremely well prepared academically and socially.
