Bloomingdale 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.

    Kindergarten Classroom

  • The most important thing to me is my kids seem to love school and their teachers. They are excited to go to school. I feel that the staff genuinely care for my kids, their development, and well-being. It's hard to leave your kids in someone else's hands for 9-10 hours a day, but I do feel my kids are safe there. I'm always so surprised at how much they are learning there too. Our extended family is also impressed. Lots of fun activities and ways for them to explore.
