- MNMadison NortonNov 13, 20255.0When you can use the line “let’s go to school” to get the kids out the door from pure excitement you know you’re going to a great place! The staff has been nothing but amazing to my kiddos. They literally run to hug their teachers in the morning.. It is well organized, clean, and very educational and structured. Very happy with the 3 years we have been using Goddard LMF.
- EMEmily MartinOct 9, 20255.0My children have been attending there for a few years and have always had good experiences. Many of the staff has remained consistent so my children have had minimal disruptions when switching classes as they grow. The front office staff and owner know all of the kids and take interest in their lives and support if there are concerns or issues. They do daily activities like science projects and culinary classes which my kids love to come home and tell me about. Overall we’ve been happy with Goddard.
- AYAyaan YasinSep 23, 20255.0As a parent, I am truly grateful for the wonderful experience my child has had at this school. He started here as a pre-toddler and is now in private kindergarten, and I could not have asked for a better foundation for his early years. What I love most is the warm, family-like, and caring environment where children feel safe and supported. The school serves fresh, healthy meals made daily, which gives me peace of mind about my child’s nutrition. The owner, who holds a PhD, personally teaches science, art, and cooking camp classes alongside the teachers, which shows her dedication and passion for children’s learning. The director is consistently on top of curriculum planning and ensures that teachers use effective strategies for both growth and learning. Communication with parents is always transparent, honest, and positive, which I deeply value. One of the most amazing aspects is that the owner herself actively participates in classrooms throughout the day, providing extra support for both teachers and students. My child has spent some of his most important years here—he has grown, learned, and thrived in every way. I never once had concerns about his safety or health. I highly recommend this school to any parent who wants a nurturing, educational, and transparent environment for their child.
- BBBenjamin BarklowSep 17, 20255.0Very professional day care. Extremely kind and good with our daughter. She has learned a lot since attending, and every day they have fun and engaging activities that our daughter loves to share with us after school. Also very safe environment with class sizes that are perfect. Also the tadpoles app is very intuitive, and they also keep you up to date on everything that is going on.
- WGWhitney GrantSep 17, 20255.0We have had our son at Goddard School Long Meadow Farms for years now and it has been so great for him! Every single teacher he has had has been kind, caring and instrumental in his development! From the teachers to the administrators - this is a great team we have trusted and we only wish we could keep him there forever. They make everything fun, keep parents posted through an app and just do an outstanding job. Thank you, Goddard School!
