- PFPeter FranklinJul 21, 20255.0Couldn't ask for more for our child!
- SESoraya EricksonJun 29, 20255.0Goddard Ramsey has been a second home for our son over the past three years. It’s a warm and nurturing center that truly embraces both children and families. The administration and teachers go above and beyond, showing genuine care, empathy, and dedication every day. We’ve also loved being part of the many family events that help build the community. We highly recommend Goddard Ramsey to any family looking for an enriching experience!
- BDBritton DuBoisMar 14, 20245.0Both of my daughters have been enrolled at the Goddard School, and I could not be happier. I’m sharing a post because as I enroll my youngest daughter into Kindergarten, I want to express my gratitude to the school and teachers who have supported not only my daughters, but also me. It was scary moving to a new town and having to locate a new school and I could not have been more happy with Ramsey Goddard. My younger daughter, who is in the Pre-K 2 classroom, has struggled with her confidence and the teachers in this classroom have helped her tremendously. Specifically, they allow each child to engage in “Star of the week” which made my daughter feel so special. She was beaming at the end of each day. I appreciate the teachers and the school so much for supporting her, boosting her confidence and taking the time to check in on her when she was having a tough day. We will miss the support and caring environment we’ve experienced at Goddard. The teachers in Pre-K 2 have more than adequately prepared my daughter for Kindergarten.
