At The Goddard School located in Moon Township, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
We currently have two kiddos in the Goddard School (Moon Township, PA). Prior to attending, it was a normal occurrence for them to throw tantrums because they didn't want to go to daycare. That hasn't been the case since we enrolled here. The teachers are super friendly and make a positive difference in our children's lives. It was amazing to see the transition our children made in a very short time. The Goddard School pays attention to details and keeps parents updated with daily pictures and learning curriculums. Teachers know our children and are quick to alert us of things like odd behavior or impending illness. In addition, we can't say enough good things about some of the after-school things like the graduation ceremony (Oh...a milkshake!) to the class dance. Those memories will last us and our families a lifetime.

This place is legit. Well managed and very professional. My 4 year old doesn't complain about "going to school". I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.
