We have had a wonderful experience at the school. Every morning we are greeted with a friendly hello, and when his teachers see my son, they are genuinely excited to see him. It’s clear they not only care about the children, but also enjoy being there themselves. That speaks volumes about how well the school is run and the positive work environment created for the staff. The teachers’ energy carries over to the children — my son is truly happy here, and I have never seen him thrive this much at another daycare. We are very grateful for the care and attention he receives each day.
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! We have only been attending about 3 months now and my son is thriving here! I can’t say enough good things about this school. Their hands on approach keeps the children engaged. My son comes home eager to share what he has learned and experienced. I also really appreciate how well the school communicates with parents. They keep us informed on everything from daily activities and picture updates to any sickness that may be going around. It gives such peace of mind knowing that we’re always in the loop and that they truly care about both the kids and their families. The environment is very welcoming! They have greeted my husband and I by name everyday since we enrolled. All of the teachers are just so sweet. I truly love it here and am thankful we found them.
So grateful to have this childcare experience. Historically we had an issue with our previous childcare with not just our son but also our daughter. We thought we were failing as parents and didn't even think to question the care we were receiving till the end. Our good friends told me about Goddard, I was really nervous but between their reassurance and meeting with everyone there its been nothing short of great. They are kind, caring, and firm where necessary. I personally am thankful we had the chance to join the Goddard family and wish we had the sense to make the shift long before we did. Truly gives warm cozy clean family vibes.
Our son has been at Goddard for over a year and loves it - he looks forward to going every day. It’s like night & day from his previous daycare. Goddard provides an enriching & supportive environment where my son is thriving. Highly recommend.
Very friendly and welcoming staff. Katie is very friendly and helpful. They are a MCCYN provider for military and Katie is very knowledgeable with it and helped guide me through the process. My kiddo is very happy here. The facility is always clean, and the teachers are very attentive and communicate everything with you as the parent.
