Everything is so structured at Goddard. We get reports every day that detail what my child is learning. It's not done haphazardly.
That my child loves being at school there! Teachers are nice but have high expectations for behavior and academic rigor. Great care & education.
Quality care and positive personalities. When I needed flexibility with the enrollment date, the team worked with me resulting in a successful start in my child's education.
The open communication, clean environment, well rounded curriculum
The hands on learning opportunities that give children a chance to experience multiple means of learning.
There are so many fantastic things about your school: The teachers are amazing, kind, fun, motivating and motivated, and skilled at differentiating education based on achievement levels;the children feel that they are part of a big family, your programs develop both academic skills and, most importantly in today's world, creativity and self-confidence; your directors listen to parental concerns - and actually act on them. Finally, the school has an open door policy: We get to talk to our son's teacher every single day, and the school makes us aware of any concerns or little victories immediately, which is so reassuring for a parent. We had my son in Montessori for two weeks; he hated it. We enrolled it in Goddard; he couldn't wait to go back even after the first day. In the seven months he has been there, he has bloomed into a happy little risk-taker who thinks out of the box.
A very well rounded hands-on approach to learning. Definitely feel our son is learning and progressing more quickly than he would have had we kept him home. The teaching staff are all amazing, dedicated, and compassionate as well, which further fosters a good learning environment.
I appreciate how the school encourages children to learn in an environment which is structured but enjoyable. This allows children to learn at their own pace as well as allows them to discover and utilize problem solving skills to become independent individuals.
