- AWAndrea WildcattOct 21, 20255.0Goddard had been amazing for my 2 little ones and my 3rd will be going there soon. They are welcoming and supportive, they make it feel like a family. They are communicative and always quick to help with any questions or concerns. I love the staff and my kids look forward to going every day. 10/10
- APAllison PaigeOct 17, 20255.0The Goddard School has been an amazing experience for our family. Aubrey absolutely loves going every day. She adores her teacher, enjoys spending time with her friends, and is learning so much while having fun. The environment is warm, safe, and nurturing, and the staff truly cares about each child’s growth. We’ve seen her confidence, vocabulary, and curiosity blossom since starting here. I couldn’t ask for a better place to start her educational journey!
- MCMichael ChristopherOct 17, 20255.0I absolutely love this daycare! The staff is always so attentive and caring, and they treat every child like their own. My daughter has grown so much since being here. she’s more confident, social, and excited to learn every day. The communication with parents is great, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in such a positive and nurturing environment. Highly recommend!
- RERick ElamonOct 16, 20255.0Good preschool with well rounded curriculum and competent staff. Our child loves her school.
- RMReeba MonachanOct 15, 20255.0We sent our four year-old and two-year-old to the Goddard School after my two year-old had not been in preschool and my four year-old was at a different school. We have had a great experience so far. There is a tangible difference between the amount of family engagement that this school does compared to our previous. The teachers are consistent and well trained and the curriculum has my four year-old saying he wants to go to school on the weekends because he loves it so much! That was not the case before. They do a good job of communicating through an online portal and we would highly recommend Goddard to anyone looking for a quality pre-K program. For all the classes, they have different individuals come in throughout the week to do ‘stretch and grow’ classes and a separate music class with lots of instruments. I appreciate that all these things are part of the tuition and my kids love them. My transition for my two-year-old has been harder, but she comes home sharing about her day and telling me all about her teachers and how nice they are so I think it has gone as well as it possibly could have.
