What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

All the teachers and staff are so caring, kind, and take the time to get to know the families and kiddos. We appreciate them loving our kiddo as if they were their own!

Dillon's Mother

Twos Classroom

My son loves going to school everyday, he talks about his friends and is so happy to see his teachers. When I drop him off I know he will be well taken care of and loved!

Henry 's Mother

Twos Classroom

Almost every teacher knows our son and greets him, daily. He absolutely loves going to school! Alex made us feel like our child was her top priority, even with all of the other kids around. Other parents have told us they have been made to feel the same. We know he's taken care of at school, and the app communication is awesome. Emily has done nothing short of ensuring we feel comfortable and supported, especially during a challenging week of change for our boy.
