- NJNeha JindalNov 10, 20255.0This is our first experience with any school and Goddard has been amazing with the transition for our family. Our little one is so happy to go to school! A great beginning to a lifelong journey of learning! Huge shout out to Miss Sara, Miss Manju, Miss Jasmine, Miss Tina, Miss Kareen, Miss Allison, and Miss Jill 💕
- PSPradeep SanjeevNov 6, 20255.0We enrolled our oldest at Goddard two years ago, and she absolutely loves her teachers and everything about the school. Our youngest joined the infant classroom last year, and it’s been heartwarming to see the genuine care and attention the teachers provide. Overall, our experience has been exceptional. I highly recommend this school to any family seeking a nurturing and supportive environment.
- A2aanon 22Nov 4, 20254.0Great staff! All very heartwarming. I dropped off my sibling here from time to time and I can tell how comfortable he is in the class & how much he loves his teachers! However Assistant teachers deserve more credit. They’re also a big part of children’s lives & they do so much. Whenever I walk the halls I mostly see how burnt out the assistant teachers look while the leads sit down on the tablet. You can see how much love they have for children however some leads don’t let that happen (in a way). I hope they can resolve this by including assistant teachers in everything too, instead of piling so much work at once. I believe they can become great leads in the future!
- YTYonas TeghegneOct 30, 20255.0We absolutely love Goddard! From day one, I’ve felt confident that both of my children are in safe, caring hands. The teachers are amazing — patient, kind, and truly dedicated to helping each child grow at their own pace. Special shout-out to Ms. Tina in admin for always going above and beyond — and for being so kind even when we mess up some paperwork 😊. Your warmth and professionalism make such a difference. Thank you to the entire Goddard team for creating a place that truly feels like family! ❤️
- SSSweta ShethOct 27, 20255.0Our child has been in this location since he was 24 months old, We have been incredibly pleased with the entire experience at Goddard School. From the moment we enrolled, the management team has been organized, transparent, and highly communicative. They create a welcoming and well-structured environment that clearly supports both the students and the staff. The teaching staff deserves tremendous praise. They are truly passionate, nurturing, and skilled educators who make every day an exciting learning adventure for the children. They strike a perfect balance between structure and play, and we have seen impressive academic and social growth in our child as a result of their dedication. It is clear that Goddard prioritizes hiring and retaining exceptional people. Thank you for your commitment to excellence!
