What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Goddard feels like an extension of our family with the way they love and show up for our son. He loves it and we feel so great that hes on good hands.

Miles Harrison's Mother

Toddler Classroom

The Goddard School continues to be an amazing place for our family. They have taught our toddler more than we could imagine and feel beyond comfortable sending our children there. Great place with amazing staff!

Chase & Matthew's Father

Toddler Classroom

As first time parents, daycare was intimidating. Our daughter has been so happy at The Goddard School which causes us to have such peace of mind. Her teachers are so loving and warm and the rest of the staff is friendly and always greets her by name. She runs right in in the mornings and comes home with a smile. It makes going to work and leaving her so much easier! We can never thank you enough for that!

Eleanor's Mother

Toddler Classroom

We have had a fantastic experience at Goddard. Our son is excited to go to school each day and we are amazed by how much he has learned and grown!

Charles's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Everything! We've only been there a few weeks and have 2 kids. Our older son's (4) transition from a previous daycare was marked. He has a spring in his step, confidence and pride, and joy after starting there. Your philosophy/approach reflects what we were hoping to find. . . a fun atmosphere full of warmth, curiosity, and a little reverence for the magic of childhood.

Miles & Harrison's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

The school has a very organized, caring and forward thinking administration and staff. The teachers treat my children like family. There is constant communication and notification about all that is going on. My kids have learned so much and had so much fun.

Meghan & Aidan's Mother

Toddler Classroom

The teachers are wonderful & truly care. The daily reports. The additional programming like Kickstart and Music that are part of the weekly curriculum. We also really like how they offer events (social, Halloween, prom) where we can get to know other Goddard families.

Emilie's Mother

The staff is awesome, the facility is clean, the communications to parents are good, and I like that there are events scheduled that keep the families involved and offer a chance to meet other families.
