- AKAlex Kelley4 days ago5.0We have been a part of the Goddard Family for many years. Our oldest went through the program at Goddard and had a great foundation built for kindergarten. Our youngest is currently enrolled, and we cannot thank the teachers and staff for the wonderful work they do. The facility is so clean and welcoming, the teachers care for the children like their own, and I love that our children learn social and emotional skills while doing very many other learning activities. I love Goddard North Ridgeville, and feel blessed to have the opportunity to have our children there.
- BABrandon AlbrightAug 25, 20255.0I can't thank Goddard School enough for taking great care of our daughter and preparing her for Kindergarten. The staff and teachers were always so nice and the daily emailed pictures and updates on what our daughter was doing in class was awesome!
- BMBob and Steph MoulletteJul 19, 20255.0The level of dedication, care, and knowledge of the staff is unmatched. Our daughter's vocabulary has flourished, and she is excited and happy to enter her classroom each day. Paula has done a wonderful job of setting up her team for success by establishing a sound foundation and by encouraging continued learning of staff.
- KNKristina NehasJul 10, 20255.0Our son has been at Goddard for a little over a year, and we have loved our time here! The staff is nurturing, communicative, and focused on the children's best interests. We wish we had started our son sooner, as he always comes home saying he had a good day!
- AWalan wittSep 29, 20231.0I've been searching for a daycare or school option since my wife passed 2 months ago. I toured this location with my son who has never been in a daycare or school setting. I felt very unwelcomed. I was shown the classrooms from the hallway but wasn't told about the curriculum, the daily activities and wasn't introduced to any of the staff, the person who gave me the tour didn't even give me the courtesy of introducing themselves. After the tour concluded I was told "my son could be an issue". Later I received an email basically telling me to look elsewhere and attached was a link for special education. I've had my son checked by his doctor multiple times but they assumed he is and it seems if your child is different they aren't welcome.
