- CKColleen KeeganAug 20, 20255.0Absolutely love this school. All the different activities. The staff really do care about your children.
- APAlona PerunovaAug 17, 20255.0We had trouble finding a reliable nanny, and after letting go of our third one, we decided to try daycare. We started with summer camp, three half-days a week, just to see how our 1.5-year-old son would adapt. I was worried it might be overwhelming for him - being left in a new environment with so many kids - but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Adrian absolutely loves his daycare and his teachers. Miss Brittney and her team do a phenomenal job caring for each child. They keep the kids engaged and entertained in ways I can’t imagine any nanny matching. The administration is also outstanding - Terri and Sarah are always approachable, supportive, and quick to respond. We were so happy with the experience that we extended camp to five half-days a week and will be transitioning to full days in September. It’s amazing to watch our son develop so quickly and learn something new every single day since starting here.
- RHRuth HoodJul 19, 20255.0My son started Goddard a little over a month ago and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to send him there. Not only have we noticed his growth and learning so much, but he is smiling every day when we pick him up. The teachers are so caring, and do their best to help continue anything we’re working on my son with at home and you can tell it is such a nurturing environment. The office staff is so responsive and friendly, as well.
