Washington DC (The Wharf) Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • Trustworthy. Taylor and his staff have built up a lot of trust and I know that my child will be safe all day long. The communication when I do have issues is typically quick and things are taken care of. I also like that Taylor and Nita are easily accessible.
