- LBLaura BroskaNov 11, 20255.0I’ve had my daughter at The Goddard School of Peter’s Township for over two years and I believe and trust in the school to then send her to the kindergarten program. She has grown and developed emotionally, socially, and has made so many good friends. The education program is top notch and she is well ahead of her grade level while having fun and enjoying school. Highly recommended!!
- ESErica SmithNov 10, 20255.0We are having a great experience at Goddard school! My son's teachers love and support him. Every day he surprises me with how much he's learning. And maybe most importantly he is being encouraged to become a kind human, a helper, and a good friend 🧡
- LCLeah Caputo-SchwanekampOct 14, 20255.0The Goddard Family has truly become a part of our village. Every member of the staff is exceptionally kind and caring, and I have complete confidence that my child is in the best hands each day. Since joining The Goddard School, my preschooler has truly blossomed—I’m continually impressed by the skills and confidence she’s gained. Each day is thoughtfully designed with fun, engaging activities that nurture her growth in social, emotional, math, and literacy development. We are so grateful to have found The Goddard School and know that her time here will leave a lasting, positive impact on her future.
- AGAlisha GeeOct 14, 20255.0The Goddard School is the most welcoming, family oriented, school that my family has had the pleasure of being involved with. They accepted my daughter in quickly and made her, and us, feel right at home. The staff and teachers are top notch and she is thriving because of them!
- KDKelly DzanajOct 11, 20255.0If you are in need of an enriching experience for your child, pick Goddard Peters Township. My son is developing faster than we know what to do with after months of slow/no progress at speech therapy. He also has gotten so comfortable with people he isn't familiar with and is learning so fast he runs home to tell us how his day is...I feel so comfortable leaving him with their amazing hearts and you will too.
