What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Welcoming and kind. Every teacher wants the best for your kid and they show that in the classroom.

Ellie & Brooks's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

The school is incredible!

Summer & Baby's Father

Twos Classroom

I feel like the school is locked/secure; the teachers are engaged and take their positions seriously (they do not just "babysit" but want my son to learn); the teachers provide daily feedback; the app allows me to see what he's doing, and I love the pictures.

Elijah's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

We are so thankful for Goddard. Our daughter gets genuinely excited to spend the day with her teachers and friends exploring, playing, and learning new things. We have the utmost trust in the staff at Goddard and can’t imagine sending our daughter anywhere else!
