    Pre-K Classroom

  • It's been a great first month! The communication between us and the staff has been really good. Ms. Cecilia is so kind and you can tell she cares about the kids and their wellbeing. We especially love the app communication - pictures, daily report, school communication, etc. Thanks for welcoming us with open arms! It might seem small, but Isabel also looks forward to which fruit she's going to pick each day :). It's a very thoughtful touch.

  • Our son, Cameron, attends the Goddard School and has since 6 months old. We love the staff, teachers, and curriculum, and he smiles and reaches for his teachers the minute we walk in the door. It makes me so happy to see how excited he is to see the Goddard teachers and his friends in the class! Means he's happy there!

  • Everyone at Goddard has been incredibly welcoming and kind to us and our child. They have met him at his level and have worked with him to meet his needs and make the transition into school easier on him. We truly feel the teachers and staff have his best interest at heart. The teachers are incredible and go above and beyond to take care of our son, and to make sure we feel heard and in the loop.

    Preschool Classroom

  • It feels like an extended family to us since our kid does spend a good portion of his day there. We are happy to see that he creates the bonding with teachers, peers, and admin team. More importantly, we are confident that our son gets the best care at Goddard and he's making progress on his development.

    Preschool Classroom

  • Staff does a great job engaging with our daughter and helped us get through the first month of daycare. When our daughter started she seemed so unhappy, but after a month she's excited to go to school. Our teacher is amazing! It seems like she comes home every day with a new word that she knows. The food they give her has a lot of variety and is healthy. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

She is learning and having such a good time her 3 half days a week. We can't believe how fast her vocabulary, motor skills and her ability to play with her classmates are changing every week.
