- SBsteven Beckman6 days ago5.0Both my daughters have had a phenomenal experience! My oldest has now done Preschool and GSRP there and has thrived and my 5 month old is treated like gold by the staff and she always has the biggest smile on her face when I drop her off to her teacher. Highly recommend. We are a military family and Goddard work with us to navigate the childcare aware payment system and has welcomed us with open arms!

- MPMargaret PolyakJun 16, 20255.0Wonderful staff! My preschooler thrived at Goddard School with the caring staff.
- KNKrystal NorrisJun 2, 20162.0I have to say, I was turned off right away by the woman who gave me a tour last year. When I came in I could not remember the name of the person who had called me back. I either mispronounced or just said the wrong name. I was scolded and corrected like a child. Rude is not even the word. I now drive 4 miles out of my way to another center. Sad , as it looks like a beautiful school. But, I would never let my little guy go there if adults are treated as such.
