What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
My children are safe, happy, and they learn a lot at Goddard! We are promptly informed when things occur which makes us feel safe as parents. I also like that they have a parent/teacher centric curriculum where the learning is holistic for teachers, parents, and students. It is a constant loop that is ever growing!
We have been so pleased with our Goddard Glen Allen experience. Our son has attended since he was five months old (currently 3.5) and is thriving. He absolutely loves it and is learning so much. We are grateful to the teachers and staff for their care and support.
It is amazing school! The management, staff and teachers are all friendly and welcoming. Our child has learned so much attending Goddard. We have such a peace of mind knowing that our child is safe and well taken care of.
