What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Your teachers are excellent! I really appreciate the lesson plans with the younger kids - they seem age appropriate and it gives the toddlers a good path to follow and comprehend.

Kellan's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Our family has had a positive experience with this Goddard school since day 1! ALL of the teachers are amazing and caring, especially in the Pre-K classroom! My son has grown exponentially under their care and will be more than ready for kindergarten in the fall!

Chase's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

From the moment I walked into the Goddard School, I knew it was different than any other place we had looked. And three years later, I still feel that way. The teachers are like family and everyone knows my kids, regardless of whether or not they actually had them in their classroom. My children have thrived in this environment and we believe it was worth every penny.
