As a parent, nothing matters more than knowing your child is loved, safe, and thriving — and that’s exactly what this school provides. The teachers treat every child like their own, and the positive environment has helped my little one grow in confidence and curiosity. We’re so grateful for this amazing school!
- MMMegan MartuscelloAug 19, 20255.0We have been sending our toddler to The Goddard School of Canton for 7 weeks now and are amazed at the growth he has had during this short window. Our child is excited to see his teachers and friends every morning and every week comes home with new words and new skills he has learned. We appreciate how friendly, professional, and communicative the staff are. We are excited for our child to continue to grow and develop with the phenomenal support and care he receives from The Goddard School.
- JLJessica LightJul 11, 20255.0I cannot say enough good things about The Goddard School of Canton. As a single mother going through a career change, I was so touched by how understanding and accommodating the staff were. They truly listened to my situation and worked with me in a way that felt supportive, not transactional. Everyone I encountered had such a positive and warm attitude, and it’s clear their environment is centered around what’s best for the kids. The care, compassion, and professionalism here made a lasting impression on me, and I’m so grateful for their kindness during a transitional time in our lives. Thank you for everything!
