What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

The management staff is amazing! And all of the teachers seem to be quality teachers, with low turnover rates. The building is clean. There's a great curriculum in place. They value outside play time.

Josette & Sebastian's Mother

Preschool Classroom

We have been so grateful and appreciative of our time at Goddard so far. The Cuddly Cub room has put us at ease with having our infant in daycare and she seems to love her time there. In regard to her milestone progression, she seems to be moving quickly now that she’s there, while not have any disruption to her normal routines/sleep.

Maxine (Max) & Baby's Mother
