What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
- Friendly and personable Director(s) and admin team; great communication. - Kind, patient, loving teachers; great communication in person and via app. - Clean environment - Safe - Great options and designated areas for extra curricular activities.
This daycare has been an excellent environment for my son. The teachers are highly attentive, communicative, and truly care about the children’s growth. We love our bumblebees teachers! We’ve seen so much improvement in his social and language skills. Highly recommend!
Bryn is having an amazing experience at Goddard. The entire staff is wonderful, and the curriculum is very engaging. We feel like she will be in great shape for Kindergarten next year. Most importantly, she loves it!
The Goddard School has been incredible at helping my shy daughter break out of her shell. The pre k program is incredible and clearly very effective as my daughter can already read and write all letters after just a few weeks.
Jim and Lynn show every day through their actions how much they love and care of every person in their facility. They know every name of parents, children, staff, you name it. The staff clearly is cared for and in return our child is the happiest, smartest kid on the planet.
They have wonderful communication with the families, many events to involve families in the child’s education and experiences, their teachers are well trained!
We have moved around a lot, and have been in our fair share of daycares, and Goddard Columbia is where we’ve been the happiest. The teachers are so kind, and Jim and Lyn really are the best - patient, positive, they know the kids and families well, they always take time to say hello and chat (even when they are clearly done for the day and on their way out). The staff seems very happy, with low turnover. My child just started K and he is extremely well prepped thru their PreK program.
-Clean, modern facility with natural light, fully enclosed classrooms, and extra multi-purpose and outdoor spaces -Professional staff and hands-on owners -High-quality, accredited curriculum -Convenient location -Frequent, clear communication -Special programs included (music, basketball, etc.) + options for additional paid programs
