- MPmanisha patelJun 10, 20255.0The Goddard School is a fabulous institution where our daughter has excelled in her education. The atmosphere is friendly, inclusive to all families, and centered towards a well-rounded curriculum for the students.
- KBKenneth BurgJan 23, 20225.0Great Daycare! They really care about your Child and treat them like their own.
- MEMarie EmeighNov 6, 20211.0They are shady. When parents are not in the building, they pawn all children off in one room and one teacher!! This makes the teacher to student ratio 1:50 or so. They are like a clique of snoody teenage girls, starting at the top with the owner. Some teachers are good, but really the top ladies only cares about appearances(only while parents are there) and popularity. The let people go who genuinely care and others with Zero classroom control stay because they brownnose the infamous Diva,.Mrs.A who you all know.
- 121 2Dec 15, 20155.0Not only is the facility exceptionally clean, cheerful and full of fun, the administration and teachers are the best I've experienced! They all support each family's individual wishes in terms of raising their child and do an excellent job of communicating with parents. The administration and staff are always available and willing to meet to discuss a child's progress and answer any questions a parent may have. Parents are allowed to join in at lunch or stop by whenever they want which is reassuring that the children are being cared for the best way possible. My daughter and I have grown to love the staff at this Goddard, they are an extension of our family. You couldn't ask for a better place to bring your child. When I was shopping care facilities, I wanted a place that was as good as if not better than my child's experiences at home. This Goddard met the mark; in fact, they exceeded my expectations.
