- LKLauren KellyNov 14, 20255.0If your child isn’t already enrolled at Goddard Walton Park, they’re truly missing out! Our family has been part of this incredible community for nearly a year and a half, and we couldn’t be happier. From the daily learning-through-play activities to the lightning-fast virtual responses to any and all questions throughout the day, and the thoughtful daily updates from our teachers, this team of passionate educators goes above and beyond every single day. Our daughter is absolutely THRIVING, and we credit her growth to the loving, dedicated staff at Goddard Walton Park.
- SRShannon ReardonNov 11, 20255.0We are so glad we switched to Goddard Walton Park this year! After a negative experience at our previous daycare, we were pleasantly surprised what a positive change this has been for our son in the preschool 1 room. He went from pull-ups to fully potty trained in 2 weeks and it wouldn’t have been possible without the love and support of Ms Aniya & Ms Briana. Thank you so much for everything you do! ❤️
