- LJLatavia JoynerOct 15, 20255.0The Goddard school stands out for its excellence. The teachers are highly skilled, and the curriculum is impressive. The school provides a nurturing environment, making families feel welcome and understood. They collaborate with parents effectively. We are extremely satisfied with the Goddard school.
- RMrajita MSep 8, 20255.0Both of my kids attended this daycare, and the only reason we left was because of a relocation. My daughter, who was 3 years old, had been there since she was 9 months old, and my son, who was 18 months old, also started when he was 9 months old. If not for the move, we would have stayed much longer. The teachers were truly exceptional—not just in how they taught, but in how much they cared. They didn’t treat it as just a job; they went above and beyond every single day. The curriculum was thoughtfully designed, and it was clear that the kids were constantly learning in ways that were both fun and meaningful. My older one often came home excited to share new things she had picked up, which spoke volumes about how engaged she felt in the classroom. What really stood out was the personal attention. The teachers always took the time to connect with parents, updating us about the kids’ day and progress. It felt like a real partnership. The administrative staff was just as incredible—they were supportive, approachable, and genuinely committed to making sure each child received what they needed to thrive. Most importantly, the teachers had become so dear to my children. They built bonds that went beyond academics, making my kids feel safe, loved, and understood. This daycare was more than a place for childcare—it was a community, and we miss it greatly.
- JMJulia MaySep 6, 20255.0Our son has attended Goddard for over a year. Every staff member has been truly excellent and REALLY loves the kids. What stands out to me most is how most of the teachers know all kids and eagerly say hi even if they’ve never had my son in class. It’s an incredibly warm and welcoming community with really high safety standards. He also does really great art projects and gets ton of outdoor time. We’re so happy to have found a daycare we trust 110%. Ms Shannon and the office staff do a wonderful job. No complaints!
