Wilmington 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.

  • Owner/teachers are very understanding and caring. Great communication with parents. I see the difference in my child’s growth and behavior since she has been attending. My child’s safety was one of my main concerns when deciding which daycare to select. They have exceeded my expectations without a doubt. The Goddard School for sure was the best decision I made to enroll my child in for early development.
