What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
I've been with Goddard Monroe for almost 9 years and I cannot say enough great things about it. The staff is amazing and so caring. In almost a decade I have had zero issues.
I have nothing but great things to say about Goddard of Monroe. Staff always goes above and beyond! Everyone is always so welcoming, and I never need to worry about my child being taken care of. Highly recommend The Goddard School of Monroe!
The constant communication from the teachers throughout the day with the pictures are really great and helpful. Hayley is also learning a lot and it shows when she is home with us. All the teachers seem so wonderful and extremely helpful
10/10 would recommend Goddard of Monroe to friend or family. The staff has made us feel so as ease with sending our daughter to day care, the teachers go above and beyond. Our daughter has so much fun and feels so safe in their care
The entire staff is "grade A", not just in friendly attitude but also in their proactive interactions with the children. I have great faith (justified by experience thus far) that they will approach my child in ways that are specific to and effective for her - and that if there is anything notable or even concerning to spot, they will spot it and share it. Combined with the particulars of the general Goddard program, this is all any parent could hope (not just ask) for!
Goddard school of Monroe was on our minds for a couple years, we finally switched our youngest in October 2023, and it’s been the absolutely best decision for not only our daughter but family. The facility is beautifully designed and clean. The faculty and staff all around has been to welcoming and friendly and my daughter has learned SOOOO much in the time she has been there and I’m forever grateful that she we were able to make this transition for her and she is just as happy as we are.
We love Goddard! The teachers are so wonderful and we really feel our daughter has well thought out days and tons of interaction
I know my son is supported mentally, emotionally, and physically at this school. There is excellent communication with the parents about development. Most of all my son loves it here.
