We have had a great experience at Goddard. I enrolled my child 2 years ago when we moved to the area and she has loved it every day. The staff are super friendly and always smiling. Even the teachers who haven't taught my child know her and say hi to her when they see her. Admin is responsive to questions. There is a sense of community among the families there too. We are very happy we enrolled our child here.

We are extremely satisfied with our choice of Goddard Hilliard. The teachers and directors are amazing! They have cultivated an environment of learning, creativity, and fun for our son. He has attended there since he was an infant and now will be transitioning to kindergarten this fall. Goddard has definitely paved the way and provided a great foundation for him.
