- AKAnita Kohli2 days ago5.0We recently started our son at Goddard's and he loves it. The social interaction, learning and activities keep my very curious and energetic son busy and engaged throughout the day. We can see a noticeable difference in his skills and growth in just a short period of time. The staff and teachers are also super welcoming, friendly and nurturing! It's a great community to be a part of.
- KCKelsey C.2 days ago5.0I have two kids (1 and 3) enrolled at Goddard Wexford and have had an incredibly positive experience. The teachers are kind, supportive, and genuinely help my kids learn and grow. The curriculum is unmatched and I feel so good knowing how much my kids are experiencing and learning each day (STEM projects, science experiments, learning the alphabet and numbers, creative art projects, etc). Highly recommend Goddard Wexford!
- DQDavid Qin3 days ago5.0We've had such a great experience with Goddard Wexford. The teachers are super nice and really caring, and our child always felt happy and supported there. The management team is also very easy to communicate with -- they respond quickly and handle things really well. Thank you for everything! Wishing the school an even better year ahead!
- GSGesu Srivastava3 days ago5.0My daughter has been at this daycare since she was 1, and now at 4, we’ve seen incredible growth. The teachers are caring, patient, and truly invested in the kids. She has learned so much—not just academically but through crafts, play, and daily interactions. Her vocabulary and ability to express herself have improved tremendously. We’re very grateful for the supportive environment and highly recommend this school!
- NDNicole Donatelli5 days ago5.0Both my children attend Goddard. I can tell you the instant difference I saw when my daughter first switched to Goddard, now over 2.5 years ago. Her language and talking accelerated w/in weeks. Goddard not only teaches my kids, but nurtures them and I think, teaches them how to be kind, compassionate humans. So it was a no brainer that we would want our son to attend when able. Goddard is def a second home for our kids. I feel so comfortable and trust the staff immensely with my 2 most prized positions. They are engaged all day w/learning and activities as well as nurtured. We plan on having them there until it’s time to transition. It will be sad days though!
