Our son has been going there for about one year and he loves it! We also love every one that works there! They do such a great job of sending pictures/videos throughout the day of all of the adorable and creative activities that they do with the kids.

My daughter learned everything that I could never teach at home at Goddard. One of the most important points for me was that they took care of privacy. I was also very happy that they kept informing during the pandemic period.
very nice one
Graduation is ready and it was very emotional.. I would like to thank all the teachers who contributed to our little babies to be smart children and especially miss Amanda , miss Cristin , miss Carlie , miss Kelly , mr Tj . When my daughter moved from one class to another, she did not experience any incompatibility with her class or her new teacher. Of course, this is due to the care and admiration of their teachers.

We have three children currently enrolled and couldn’t say enough good things about the program and ownership. They’ve
been like family for over 5 years now and we’re so thankful for the care they provide daily. We highly recommend this school.
