- SASamantha AmatoOct 10, 20255.0My daughter is in her third year at Goddard and I have nothing but positive things to say about them! The staff is extremely kind and friendly. My daughter has had amazing teachers who are so kind and patient. The school is clean and well kept. My daughter loves going to school each day!
- VVVanessaOct 8, 20255.0This school has been life changing for my family! We had our son in another daycare (close by) and my son cried every single day. I felt horrible dropping him off because I just didn’t feel comfortable leaving him. I finally decided to start checking out other schools and The Goddard School has been a blessing! Since my son has started, he has thrived in more ways than I would have ever imagined! The moment I walked in the door for my tour, it smelled good and just felt like HOME! The owner (Jackie) gave us our tour and she was friendly, welcoming, and just so informative. She made us feel comfortable and safe from the start. My son adored her, he sat on her lap and took her hand during our entire tour. She had such a welcoming and nurturing demeanor. We instantly knew this was the school for us! My son cannot wait to go each day, drop off is easy. His teachers are loving and welcome him each day with a hug. We just know he is being taken care of throughout his whole day. We get tons of pictures, his speech is so much better, and he is even learning sign language! He is teaching us at home. We know he loves it when he doesn’t want to leave at the end of his day! The reports are so detailed, the front office is so friendly, the school is clean, and the teachers are educated and loving. This is hands down the best decision we have ever made. The best school! We love our Goddard family!!!

- VBVanessa BustardMar 15, 20195.0When we began our search for the perfect school for our kiddos there were a few things that had to be met - great curriculum, knowledgeable staff, clean facility and supportive administration. Goddard of Washington Twp has not only met but exceeded all of these expectations. We started as infant room parents and are now proud preschool room parents, looking forward to what pre-k will bring! The teachers have instilled a love of learning and play in our children that has proven to be invaluable. We could not have selected a better school! The entire faculty has provided a safe and nurturing environment that we are SO proud to be a part of.

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills.
