- MMMona MortazaviOct 27, 20255.0I cannot say enough positive things about Goddard in the Heights. We have been taking our son here since he was 8 months old and have been here for the past 2 years. The staff is amazing and the teachers are so engaged and invested in learning and development. I really love the care they provide and attention they give my son, it feels like a partnership as we cross each milestone.
- MTMeghan TricaricoOct 20, 20255.0So far we have had a wonderful experience with the Goddard School for our 6 month-old. All of the teachers are so caring and attentive. We look forward each day to receiving updates with photos. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with engaging toys/activities. It makes our parent heart's happy and keeps our mind at ease knowing our baby is in such good hands!

- MMMailiv MorilloOct 3, 20255.0It has been a very positive experience, as it offers a safe and welcoming environment for children. The teachers are professional, caring, and committed to learning, and they also maintain close communication with families. I consider it an excellent option for those seeking quality education, strong values, and an environment where children feel motivated and happy.
- BPBrittin PikeSep 26, 20255.0We’ve had a wonderful experience at Goddard. After moving, we needed to find a new daycare, which was a tough decision. But as soon as we toured Goddard, we knew it was the right place for our daughter. We were a bit nervous about starting somewhere new, but her teachers, Ms. Mary and Ms. Rachel, made the transition incredibly smooth. Our daughter has been learning so much and genuinely looks forward to going to school each day. She’s made great progress with potty training and is thriving overall — she’s a happy, confident kid thanks to the supportive environment at Goddard. We’re so grateful for how easy they made the transition, and I’d highly recommend the school to any family searching for a new daycare.
