Lake Orion Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

Class ratio sizes, daily learning plans, excellent communication in regards to my child, and caring teachers.

I love the friendliness of staff and how they help to make my son feel comfortable each day. My daughter, now in kindergarten, loves when she gets to help pick her brother up so she can say hi to her old teachers that she loves.
