The Goddard School

We absolutely love this school and could not be more grateful for the community it has given our family. From the teachers to the administration and every helper in between, the care, dedication, and love they show each child truly goes above and beyond. What sets this school apart is the heart behind everything they do. During a very difficult time for our family, when we lost our beloved dog, the compassion and kindness shown to us—and especially to our daughter—meant more than words can express. When I welcomed my second child, the staff was incredibly supportive of our daughter, always checking in on how she was doing and making sure she felt safe, loved, and confident during that transition. Knowing she was so deeply cared for brought us immense peace. Academically and emotionally, the growth we’ve seen in our daughter has been remarkable. The knowledge she has gained is impressive, but even more meaningful is the confidence, independence, and joy she now carries with her each day. That confidence is a direct reflection of the nurturing, thoughtful teaching she receives. This school is more than a place of learning—it is a family. We are endlessly thankful for the teachers, administration, and all of the amazing people who pour their hearts into this school. We feel incredibly lucky to be a part of such a loving, supportive, and exceptional community. We have no doubt she will be ready and excel in the next stages of education.

We have been at Goddard for just over a year and WOW! The building is gorgeous, clean and has a gym inside which is amazing for the cold days. The engagement, love and intention that we’ve seen from everyone at Goddard - owners, directors, teachers - has been inspiring to see. You can tell that each person truly loves what they do, cares about each kid, meets each kid where they are, and makes learning fun. My son loves going everyday and is learning so much. Special shout outs to Mak, Mr. Aaron & Ms. Riki. They are the teachers you hope every kid is lucky enough to have!

We’ve been part of Goddard for four years now, with both of our kids enrolled, and we couldn’t be happier. The teachers and staff are warm, patient, and truly invested in each child’s growth. Our kids have learned so much academically, socially, and emotionally, and they’re excited to come every day. The communication is excellent, the environment is safe and welcoming, and the quality of care is outstanding. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful place. Highly recommend!

Our kiddo has been at this Goddard for about 3 years. All the staff are wonderful and the teachers are great! The school communicates well on staffing and how our kiddo is doing throughout the day. They regularly hold conferences where they provide both subjective and objective measures of how our kiddo is doing. This school has really helped with our kiddo being well prepared and likely above average when she heads to kindergarten in both academics and socioemotional skills. As a mom who was scared to transition from at home care to out of home care, this school really helped my mom guilt lessen.

Can’t say enough great things about the Orchard Goddard! Both my kids love all the teachers and staff! Highly recommend this school and you better believe it - your child will be ready for kindergarten! The kindergarten readiness program really sets them up for success!
