- ARAmber Richard4 days ago5.0My daughter has been going to this school since she was 3 months old and it was the best decision my family made. The owner, Mrs.Christina is phenomenal!! Anytime that I had questions or even parenting advice she’s always there. She was always there to answer me. All of the teachers have been nothing but amazing!They potty trained my daughter very quickly and have taught her so much. This school is clean, efficient , welcoming and I would recommend them to everyone that I know.
- RBRebecca BNov 12, 20255.0I absolutely love Goddard! My child was at their Riversbend location until we moved and the Woodlake location welcomed us with open arms! I was on the fence about switching my child to a new center but I am so glad I did! I am in awe of my child’s teachers. They are the kindest and sweetest ever, making sure my child is absolutely cared for. I love that my child is getting to do so many creative things while learning at the same time. The front desk staff are amazing! I couldn’t recommend Goddard enough, simply awesome!! 🩷
- AAAngella AbramsNov 4, 20255.0The Goddard School at Woodlake has been so welcoming to our 2 year old daughter since starting a couple months ago. They treat us like family! I am always surprised when I’m picking up my daughter to go home that so many staff members know her name, not just her teachers in her class. I was nervous about leaving my daughter somewhere besides home but they have made us feel so safe and comfortable with her being there. I recently had a baby and they sent us flowers and a bear which I thought was so sweet and thoughtful. We truly love it here and highly recommend it!
