- DDDENİZ DEMİRJul 14, 20235.0My 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.
