- ACAndrea CywinskiJul 17, 20255.0All of our teachers at Goddard Grandview have been excellent for over the past 4 years for our 3 kids. We know they were well cared for and loved everyday. They were prepared for kindergarten with social and academic skills.
- AVAnna VonderhaarJul 17, 20255.0Teachers are wonderful! We've had the best experience at Goddard. You can tell they truly care about the kids and take pride in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. Both our kids have grown so much and have found life-long friends here.
- CMCarolyn MinksJul 17, 20255.0We have been at Goddard for 2 years now, my daughter starting at 1 yo and my son at 6 months. We have had such amazing experiences with the teachers and leadership there, the staff is outstanding and have made lasting impressions on my kids. The programming is wonderful, my three year old is learning so much more than I was expecting from a daycare. Recommend to anyone!!
- JMJoe MullinsJul 17, 20255.0Our son has been at Goddard for about 3 years, starting at 3 months of age. Our experience has been great. He’s always excited to go to school and is excited to tell us what he’s learned that day when we pick him up. The teachers genuinely care for his well-being and growth. I would recommend Goddard - Grandview to anyone looking for a caring environment in which their child can learn and grow.
- SSsydney singratsombouneJul 16, 20255.0I would just like to say that now that The Goddard School Grandview has received new ownership and new management, it has been IMMENSELY better! It’s almost like a brand new school and honestly a breath of fresh air because I was truly about to take my child out of this school with the last owners. Crystal, who is the new onsite co-owner has been nothing but professional, caring, and extremely transparent and communicative with us as parents. I never feel like I am misinformed. I get informed about something instantly and not days/weeks later (the old owners were horrible at communication and rude). My child has developed so much here thanks to the staff and leadership. I as a parent feel much more at ease with everything here and can’t thank the new owners/management enough for providing reassurance and better structure and safety precautions for my daughter. They prioritize safety, better nutrition and snack varieties, more activities and learning experiences for development, and overall a better experience for not only the kids but parents as well. I don’t think I can say enough good things about how much relief and gratitude I feel now that there are new owners. So I highly recommend Goddard Grandview for as long as these owners are here!
