Steve and company have done an outstanding job transforming Goddard Malvern. Our family has been at this school now for over 9 years, 3 children. We are very happy with the programs and experiences introduced over the past year. Frankly, we are disappointed in the way prior ownership ran the school. I’m very optimistic towards the future of this school. I appreciate all of Steve’s hard work to implement change which is why I strongly recommend this school to others.
