- ADAlexandra DanielsJun 1, 20255.0The teachers are so consistent and wonderful. We love it!
- JSJennifer SchaustMay 31, 20255.0We are excited to share our daughter's positive experience since joining Goddard! She did not have a great time at her previous daycare, and while we had a part-time nanny, she was reaching the stage where she needed to socialize more with children her age. Now, she has blossomed and absolutely enjoys her time at Goddard! I appreciate receiving regular updates about all the fun activities she engages in, and it’s wonderful to see that she spends plenty of time outdoors. It truly feels like the perfect environment for her to thrive!
- AMAnnie McShaneSep 6, 20235.0We have had the best experience at Goddard in Plymouth! It was a tearful goodbye now that our youngest has graduated on to Kindergarten. The teachers and management have made all the difference for us. They’ve created such a happy and warm environment, making our kiddos feel so loved. We had been in several different daycares prior to this and Goddard is by far the best in terms of quality of teachers, management, facility, everything. I’ve always had peace of mind sending my girls here – the teachers have a genuine passion for the kids and communication has been excellent. I can’t recommend it enough!
- ASAl SivongsayJan 29, 20165.0Our son has been attending Goddard for the past couple years and we couldn't be happier with the professionalism and care they have for his development. The owners and staff are incredible with the children.
- ASAlicia SaidMar 12, 20155.0The BEST place to take your children!!!! The activities, curriculum, etc are excellent and I couldn't be happier! The owners, Lisa and Aaron are wonderful Do not hesitate to take your kids here!
