- NNNiya NewtonOct 21, 20255.0From the very first tour, I knew this daycare was something special. The staff was so warm and welcoming, and I instantly felt at peace knowing my son would be in great hands. Ever since he started, he’s been so happy — every morning he wakes up excited to go to daycare, and that means the world to me. He’s learned so much, made wonderful friends, and always comes home with the biggest smile on his face. As a parent, there’s no better feeling than knowing your child is happy, loved, and cared for. I’m so thankful we found this place — it truly feels like a second home for him. 💛

- BABashira AliOct 15, 20255.0My son looks forward to going to The Goddard School every day and always comes home happy. We recently moved, and the teachers and staff have been wonderful in helping him adjust to the big transition. They’re caring, attentive, and really in tune with his needs. The staff is very responsive with any concerns, whether it’s through a quick call or a message on the app. The curriculum feels consistent and well-rounded, and my son especially loves the playground, the movement room, and helping his teachers pick books from the library. Ms. Nazarene and Ms. Victoria are amazing teachers — it’s clear they truly care about their kiddos and show genuine concern for both my son and our family. We’re so grateful to have found such a warm and supportive environment for him!
