- JHJulia HoughOct 15, 20255.0This school has been great for our daughter. The teachers and staff genuinely seem to care for the children.
- JNJessica NormanAug 30, 20255.0We loved Goddard and were sad to leave when moved out of state! Our 3 children attended Goddard for a little under 2 years and we experienced 5 classrooms (infant through toddler). All of the classrooms were lovely with caring, sweet teachers who loved on our babies while we had to work! I appreciated the updates at the end of the day on the app including pictures. The front desk staff and owner Bob were great with helping us navigate Childcare Aware and would always let us know if there were any bumps or scratches even if minor. We liked the curriculum and our kids would surprise us sometimes with what they had learned and retained! We would highly recommend Goddard to any friends!
- LWLaura WagnerAug 4, 20255.0Phenomenal daycare! All of the teachers and staff are amazing! They treated us like family, and cared for my kids as if they were their own. Highly recommend!

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools.

To ensure the health and safety of everyone, if an outbreak occurs and a child has not been vaccinated, they will be asked to stay at home.
