- VLVictoria LangsdorfNov 8, 20255.0I’ve noticed significant improvements in my son’s social and motor skills since starting at Goddard. You can tell everyone from the teachers, to office managers to directors care about each and every child. As a working mom, I appreciate the communication style of the school via app notifications and emails. Its the right mix of informative without being too much. I think I would best describe Goddard as consistent and reliable. Its easy to make a good impression during a visit or a child’s first day but Goddard continues to beat expectations every single day. My son loves school!
- BBBen BrovenderJul 10, 20255.0We have 2 kids at Goddard and the school is great. The facility is clean, the teachers and directors are hard working (not an easy job). We appreciate the school and their hard work very much.
- JPJessica PistoneJun 10, 20255.0Excellent Directors and Teachers who put fantastic thoughtfulness and effort into planning classroom agendas, structured learning while catering to each child’s learning level, and planning fun activities and field trips for those who are of proper age. What a privilege to be part of a wonderful village.
- EHErin HoldenNov 14, 20235.0After moving from another state, we were lucky to get into The Goddard School at Middletown. It's been two years now, and seeing how much our son has grown has been amazing, now he comes home talking nonstop about his day and his friends.
