- PBParker BossierNov 17, 20255.0Our child loves his 3 year old classroom
- DMDaniel MoyaSep 17, 20255.0We’ve had a great experience so far! Staff is great, very clean facility. Our son loves his teachers and classmates. He is really developing in this environment. Highly recommend.
- MEMatt ErkeOct 7, 20245.0Goddard is a wonderful school with staff and teachers that are warm, kind, caring, and knowledgeable. Our daughter started attending at five months and it's been an excellent experience. The curriculum includes story time, music time, buggy rides in Riverside Park, art projects, and lots of time with other children around the same age. Goddard always make sure the teacher-student ratio is managed correctly in each classroom. We always feel comfortable dropping our infant off each morning; Goddard is a safe, welcoming setting and we would recommend the school to any parents in NYC!
- LMLiz MorrisOct 2, 20245.0I was nervous for our daycare journey to begin, but Goddard has made the transition so easy. I feel extremely comfortable leaving my daughter there each morning - the staff and her teachers are very friendly, and I feel care as much about her as I do. It's also very organized, they respond quickly, and the facilities are lovely .
- CRChris RootApr 10, 20245.0We have had a great experience at Goddard - NYC daycares can be a bit of a revolving door in regards to teachers/staffing etc - but the owner Dr. Swan does a good job of keeping friendly and loving teachers staffed and as a result our kids love going to school - from a working parent standpoint, it is also very nice that they are open regularly (i.e. they do not seem to have the 100s of holidays that other schools/daycares observe) - would recommend Goddard to families on UWS
