    Joseph's Mother

    Infant Classroom

  • - detailed list of what my kid is doing at school everyday. I compared our check out paper to the day cares my friends' kids go to. Goddard school has far more details! - photos of my kid everyday participating different activities make me feel I'm very close to her life even I'm not with her. - after only a week at the school, we noticed improvements on her hand coordination (wasn't able to put Duplo blocks together before). Very impressed! - most important reason: I can see she likes all the teachers there! In her previous day care she was always in hurry to leave and she never waved at any teachers there. In her current class, she waves to everyone there :-)

    Julia's Mother

  • I think they are the best available in town. However in my opinion the curriculum could be upgraded a little - such as number counting till 100, reading calendar and clocks, paper art, etc.
