"My son started Goddard full-time at age three after attending a part-time school the previous year. We both (seriously, both of us!) loved the teachers, the curriculum, the facility, the administration, the children, and the parents at Goddard immediately! But after being in Goddard for a year and a half, I moved to the opposite side of Raleigh and sadly decided to move my son into a closer preschool (also rated 5-star) adjacent to my home and his soon-to-be new Kindergarten. Within a week, I realized how superior Goddard was, and within two months had noticed enough of a change in Collin's desire to learn that I switched him back to Goddard in spite of the lengthy drive. If I could write a page on how completely impressed I am with this school, I still wouldn't be able to list out all the academic, social and behavioral benefits I have clearly witnessed in Collin being enrolled in The Goddard School. The adminstration is wonderful, friendly and always smiling. The teachers are enthusiastic, supportive, dedicated, knowledgable and highly communicative. The curriculum is age appropriate, fun, advanced (without being pressuring) and balanced. The facility is clean, cheerful and open. I could go on and on. Now I am only sorry he has to leave Goddard soon to go to Kindergarten. How can anyone compare?"

"Our experience with The Goddard School has been exceptional!!! The teachers and administrators are great! I believe they know each student personally, and we always feel welcomed warmly when we arrive each day. Each of the teachers with whom I have had the pleasure of interacting is dedicated and experienced, and I genuinely get the sense that they love what they do! I know that my daughter feels cared about and is treated as an individual regardless of how many children are in the class. One of our favorite things about Goddard is that the classroom setting is always child focused...just structured enough for learning to take place, but abstract enough for my child to select activities that she enjoys. The "extra" activities like Music and Spanish that are incorporated into the curriculum provide awesome opportunity for learning as well. I love to read the daily reports that are sent home! They give me a great sense of how my child progresses through her day, and reinforces my realization that her teachers know her as an individual. I always feel that my child's strengths are recognized and needs are met! My daughter is happy at The Goddard School and that is the most important thing to me."

"My 14-month-old daughter has the best experience at The Goddard School located in Raleigh (Briar Creek). She claps and cheers when we pull up to school. I love her teachers and I can see in the classroom interaction how much they care about her. She has learned over 50 words including bellybutton and grandma and has wonderful social skills. She is learning to walk and loves the outside playground. I spent many hours and visited over 14 local daycare centers/schools before we found Goddard (Briar Creek), no one else comes close to the environment and administration/ teachers at Goddard."

"Our daughter loves to go to The Goddard School located in Raleigh (Brier Creek) each day. She looks forward to seeing her friends, both classmates and staff. The staff works with us to assure we are all working towards the same developmental goals. We know she will be actively engaged in learning activities from Art to Music to Spanish to Social Interaction that encourage her development."
