- BRBriana Rueda5 days ago5.0All the staff are extremely caring! They know every child and parent by name. The teachers do a great job of educating your child and holding them to higher standards, while incorporating lots of play and imaginative opportunities.
- BHBrooke HalfpapDec 15, 20235.0Highly recommend this school! Both of my kids went here (one still here) and I have little to no compliants. The staff is so kind and caring to our children. I always feel my kids are in great hands and are doing so much learning. My oldest graduated and was more than ready for Kindergarten. I will be very sad when my youngest will no longer be at Goddard!
- VAVasanth AyyaluOct 27, 20185.0My 2 years old son attended the Goddard School and we were fully satisfied with the care they provided. We love the School !! It's definitely one of the best childcares we have seen. The environment is well organized, spot clean and very welcoming. I would highly recommend the school to my colleagues and friends
- SWSteve WagnerJul 22, 20165.0We recently had our daughter complete her pre-K screening through our school district. The teachers conducting the test were very impressed with her language, math, writing, and comprehension skills. My wife and I give credit to the Goddard School for playing a large part in her successful development. Our first child attended Goddard, and he experienced a very smooth transition to Kindergarten. When we became pregnant with our daughter, we immediately knew the Goddard School, and their thoughtful curriculum, would be a perfect fit for her as well. We can not recommend Goddard more strongly for new parents!
