-"As a parent, we want only the best for our kids so when my son, Aaron was preparing to go to kindergarten, I wanted to send him to the best place for him. My oldest child went to a public all day kindergarten and I was very disappointed in the education she received. I wanted to make sure I didn’t make the same mistake. I then received a postcard in the mail from The Goddard School inviting me to an open house. I went and was extremely impressed with the staff, learning atmosphere, and curriculum. I was so excited; I enrolled him that very same day. My son had not been to preschool and I hadn’t worked with him on writing his letters or with alphabet recognition, so, he truly was a beginner when he started kindergarten. I couldn’t believe how much my son learned in such a small amount of time, and, he was so very excited to go to school. On the weekends he’d ask, “When do I get to go back to school?” As the school year has progressed, my son’s excitement over school has not wavered. The Goddard School has definitely instilled my faith in education. I only wished they were around when my oldest child was starting school. I would recommend this school to anyone!"
-"We wanted to take a minute to thank you for the warm welcome that you have given our family since we enrolled our daughter, Paige, at your school. Being new residents of Arizona, we didn't know what to expect when it came to enrolling Paige in a center. She had been at an in-home facility prior to us moving here. After touring The Goddard School® we felt that we had found a good fit...and we were right! Every morning when we tell Paige that it is time to go to school, she gets so excited and runs for the door. All of the teachers have been so wonderful in keeping us in the loop with what goes on in the classroom and what she is learning. Paige started doing sign language the first week she was enrolled, and she was only 14 months old. It is such a happy, clean, and safe environment that we feel we have found the perfect place for our daughter to learn and make friends. We look forward to watching Paige grow and learn throughout the years at The Goddard School. Thank you for all that you do and all of your hard work." - Paige's parents.
-"I have searched far and wide and all different types of day childcare/schools for my two year old. I can say that there is no other school that comes close to the individual, loving, and thoughtful environment I have found at my favorite school, The Goddard School®. It's nice to know that the owner and Director are both women who have families and kids too. This matters to me."

-"We chose The Goddard School® for their high standard of excellence in education in a nurturing environment. We were tired of the other overcrowded "daycare/schools" which were really over glorified daycares. Since switching our daughter into the toddler classroom she has already learned so much! She comes home speaking French, showing us sign language and the other day when we pointed to a picture of the moon and stars she said "galaxy"! She isn't even 3 yet and she knows so much now. The staff are awesome- it is great to have a school that actually has an educational program director, and to have real teachers with college degrees in education. Other schools do not require the teachers to have a degree in education (or even a degree at all), you will see this makes a huge difference. At other daycares/schools you will get a caregiver with lots of child experience, but that is it. If you want your child to have something more than this then you should try Goddard because you will not be disappointed! We love this school, especially my daughter!"

"Just a note of thanks for all you and all the teachers are doing for my daughter, she really has been flourishing ever since the first week! Her vocabulary has grown, her sharing skills have improved and she loves all the activities! It is great to see her days full of learning activities that have meaning while teaching her the art of learning and play, I couldn't ask for more while I'm at work! Every day I'm reminded how much she likes it there because when we drive to The Goddard School®, she is shouting "My school, my school" and can't wait to get there!. Thanks!"

"Like most parents I was less than thrilled about having to put my child in daycare so that I could return to work full time. My husband and I had visited numerous daycare facilities and couldn't seem to find one that we felt comfortable with until we toured Goddard. Right away I could tell that they had every angle covered from curriculum to cleanliness. Their regulations and guidelines for school operations were above and beyond any other daycare we had experienced.
Since our son has been enrolled at The Goddard School we have seen nothing but excellence in his early childhood development. Everyday he learns something new and it has been incredible to see him thrive so tremendously! It is very apparent that not only the teachers but all staff members at The Goddard School genuinely care about each and every child. They have given me nothing but piece of mind and I would recommend The Goddard School to anyone who is seeking the best care for their most precious gift!"

-"I just wanted to say Thank You to you and your staff, Ms. Crane and Ms. Bass and any others for making Jaden's transition to the school smooth and successful! Jamey and I are very pleased with the curriculum and how you run the school. Jaden's growth, development, and education is important to us and we see that it is important to you as well. Jaden looks forward to going to school everyday! Again, Thank you!"
-"I just wanted to take a minute to thank you and your staff for providing such a great learning environment for Jayni. Ms. Crane and Ms. Bass are amazing teachers, and Jayni loves going to school everyday. It gives me such peace of mind to hear Jayni talk about how much fun she has at school with her friends, and then to tell me everything she learned about when I pick her up. The environment is significantly superior than any other setting I have looked into for my daughter! Thank you so much for all that you do!"
-"We want to thank all of you for such a special evening our entire family enjoyed. You make everyone feel special and you truly have a gift for making the children feel safe, secure, and loved ! Annalee and Joseph want to wear their summer camp t-shirts every day. They tell everyone they go to Goddard!!"
- Annalee and Joseph's mom.
-"The Goddard School® is not just a "day care" where they watch your children play all day. The Goddard School builds a strong educational foundation at the earliest age, they teach sign language and French! My son Jacob spent three months at another well known daycare and did not learn anything. He was actually withdrawing from group activities. Our second day at the Goddard School I picked up Jacob and he waved bye bye to Ms. Penny which brought both of us to tears since it was the first time he ever waved! Jacob is now participating in activities and making new friends an coming home with great art projects. Thank you Ms. Penny and Ms. Laurie for running a loving and caring environment and hiring amazing teachers like Mrs. Hartley and Mrs. Applegarth."
