Every single thing from day 1. This school is so professional, so thoughtful and truly is passionate about education and invoking that passion in their students. My son loves it there and had the smoothest transition when he started. This is all due to the Goddard school thinking of every single thing to set him up to succeed. Highly recommend!!!

I love the pedagogy, teachers, owner, and commitment to both social emotional as well as academic learning. I can’t imagine my daughter in a better environment. As a special educator myself, I’m extremely impressed with the high standards held at Goddard across the board.

Friendly and caring teachers, child-centered curriculum and safe. Probably the best indication comes from how happy my daughter is to go each day and how she sometimes doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day!

I like: The flexibility in being able to drop my daughter of at any point in the day. The professionalism and friendly demeanor of the teachers. Knowing that my child is working on important social and academic skills Knowing that the environment is very clean. That the teachers keep me well informed about what she needs while at the Goddard school, from clothing to food. The security of the school with the retina eye scan and keep pad sign in.
