What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Goddard has been a great place for our little boy to attend. His teachers are kind and welcoming, and we can tell that he is comfortable there. This brings peace of mind! The communication with staff has been excellent, with all of our questions being answered promptly and thoroughly. Additionally, the app is extremely helpful during the day, both to see pictures of our child and to gain information about his naps, feeds, and diapers afterwards. It helps us plan for the evening at home!

Charlie & Hudson's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The current teachers and staff have really started to communicate so well with the parents. I enjoy hearing how my child was behaving, and the teachers do a great job of this. Turn over has seemed to plateau which tells me the teachers and staff are happy which I think is very important for a work environment. Love all the activities they’ve brought in as well
