- JSJennifer SomersOct 17, 20255.0We are so happy with our experience at The Goddard School in Cranberry for our son's Pre-K. The teachers are fantastic—warm, supportive, and truly engaging. Our son loves going to school, and we've noticed a huge leap in his learning and development since he started. We're especially impressed by the curriculum depth; he's even picking up Spanish words! It's amazing to see what he's already learning. Highly recommend this location to any local parents.
