- LBLiz Bralynski4 days ago5.0I was a nervous wreck placing my almost-three year old in daycare, as she had never been. They have been so patient and kind and understanding with us, going above and beyond as she acclimates.
- CCChelsey CrockerOct 9, 20255.0Both my daughters went to Goddard from 5 months old to 5 years old. I feel so blessed to have found a place that loved my kids like their own and cared for them like family. They made it possible for me to have both: to go back to work as a full-time lawyer and to feel like my kids weren’t being shortchanged by going to daycare. I was able to feel like a good mom who ensured that her children were loved and cared for and safe all while pursuing my career dreams. The teachers became extensions of our family and both girls entered their next school with advantages in academics from the excellent program taught in Goddard. Goddard Farm Lane is woven into the fabric of our family and we are so grateful for their role in their early childhood.
- MCMorgan CooperSep 5, 20255.0Highly recommend this school! Both my kids went since infant and the staff created a fun and safe environment for the kids to play and learn. I felt like my daughter was more than prepared for 1st grade after the full-day curriculum there and the extra involvement of the teachers.
- BLBriana LuryeAug 20, 20255.0I could not ask for a better daycare to call ours! I have twin two year olds (started at 12 weeks old) and a newborn (started at 6 weeks) enrolled at Goddard Farm Lane, and I truly mean it when I say they are our second family. We have been there since Spring of 2023, and have zero issues or concerns. My children are always well taken care of, loved, and nurtured by every single staff member on the Goddard team. Everything from the spotless building and upkept outdoor area (it’s awesome!) to the level of communication and support we receive as parents is nothing short of amazing. My kids show up every day with a smile and are eager to get inside and see everyone, and some days they don’t want to leave to come home! We truly couldn’t ask for a better daycare to trust with our babies! 10/10 for Goddard Farm Lane! Also- super important to note- there is extremely little employee turnover, which is HUGE in a daycare setting. They have our vote forever!
- KEKaitlyn EganAug 19, 20255.0Both of our kids attended the Goddard School since they were infants and we have had nothing but wonderful experiences throughout all of their years there. Our kids loved going to school every day, and we felt incredibly comfortable sending them to such a nurturing, yet fun environment. The teachers and staff were amazing, leaving both kids well-prepared to excel in elementary school both academically and socially. We will always look back at our Goddard School years with much gratitude for all of the memories and lifelong friends we made along the way!
