Goddard has been amazing in providing childcare for our daughter. She started at Goddard when she was 14 months old, and since then, she has enjoyed every single moment there. The teacher-to-child ratio is age-appropriate, ensuring that every child receives individual attention. The teachers are warm, caring, and friendly, and they helped us immensely during the initial days when our daughter experienced separation anxiety. Goddard also provides excellent exposure to age-appropriate learning activities that support early development. We’ve seen our daughter grow more independent, confident, and curious each day. The environment encourages children to build strong social skills, interact positively with their peers, and develop empathy and kindness toward others. At just 5 years old, she is already able to read and write basic sentences and is doing exceptionally well in math and phonics. We truly attribute this well-rounded progress to the overall development and strong foundation provided by Goddard. As she is about to step into the big schooling world, we know she will miss Goddard, and as parents, we will miss it too. It has truly been a wonderful place for her early growth and happiness

Goodard School has been nothing but a great experience for all 3 of our kids from our new born up to kindergarten. The staff is very friendly and our kids loved ALL their teachers in each class they have progressed through. The facilities are amazing and I always recommended Goodard to any family that is looking for a daycare for their family. They also support military families which was a huge plus in our books.

Our child has been in this location since he was 24 months old, We have been incredibly pleased with the entire experience at Goddard School. From the moment we enrolled, the management team has been organized, transparent, and highly communicative. They create a welcoming and well-structured environment that clearly supports both the students and the staff. The teaching staff deserves tremendous praise. They are truly passionate, nurturing, and skilled educators who make every day an exciting learning adventure for the children. They strike a perfect balance between structure and play, and we have seen impressive academic and social growth in our child as a result of their dedication. It is clear that Goddard prioritizes hiring and retaining exceptional people. Thank you for your commitment to excellence!

We absolutely love Goddard! From day one, I’ve felt confident that both of my children are in safe, caring hands. The teachers are amazing — patient, kind, and truly dedicated to helping each child grow at their own pace. Special shout-out to Ms. Tina in admin for always going above and beyond — and for being so kind even when we mess up some paperwork 😊. Your warmth and professionalism make such a difference. Thank you to the entire Goddard team for creating a place that truly feels like family! ❤️
