Testimonials
"When I first walked into The Goddard School®, I saw for the first time what I had been envisioning for my child's education. The teachers and staff are well educated, informed and very friendly. The Goddard School® is a place where I can watch my son learn, grow, and play in a safe, friendly, happy, and clean environment. It makes me excited and happy to know that my child is having awesome experiences and being educated at the same time. That is wonderful and important."

"Welcoming staff, bright and cheerful rooms, and a safe environment are just a start to what we can share about the first few weeks of our grandson's preschool. We enjoy seeing his growth through participation in activities such as songs, story time, yoga poses, sign language and painting - to name just a few impressionable experiences! The caring teachers balance nurturing with age-appropriate structure. There's a great sense of community here as well. Everyone is a part of this growing family."

"We have been so pleased with The Goddard School® located in Clackamas. We were unsure in the beginning as to how our daughter would adjust to a new school setting. It was not an easy transition for her, but the staff at The Goddard School® did an amazing job with helping her adjust to her new surroundings. They all took the time to get to know our daughter and gave her that extra personal attention she needed. Our daughter is now energetic, talkative, and enjoys all the new activities each day brings. We know the credit goes to her teacher and other staff members who provided her with an environment where she feels safe and comfortable. She leaves each day with a smile now. Not only does she love waving good-bye to her teacher and new friends in the classroom, but we also can't forget to wave good-bye to Jennie, the owner and Kathy, the director and give them a big smile too as we walk out the door every day!"

"I just want to tell you how impressed I have been with your new school. Ellie loves coming to The Goddard School®, calling it “my school.” Your staff has been outstanding, taking time to get to know Ellie and engage her. I have been delighted to find your staff actively playing with the children when I come in, whether it’s playing dress-up, coloring, or making pretend birthday cakes. The smaller class sizes have enabled the teachers to really get to know Ellie and play to her strengths while still challenging her to learn and do as much as she can. I have noticed her talking more and doing more than she ever did at her previous daycare. No wonder the director of our previous daycare center (one of your national competitors) highly recommend The Goddard School® over their own facility in the same community.
There is no greater decision I can make than who cares for my daughter when I am not able to be with her. My thanks to you and your staff for making this transition a very positive experience."

"We arrived at The Goddard School® just to look, to see what it was all about. We didn't think we could afford it but still wanted to check it out. We were amazed not only with the staff, the building, the security but with the curriculum! Yes, curriculum for a 16 month old! No where else could measure up to The Goddard School® so we crunched the numbers, re-did the budget and found a way. Now my daughter is being taught not baby sat. She is being challenged but still having fun and learning important lessons. We feel the money spent now on early education will pay off in the long run but we were surprised to see it's also paying off now!"
