What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

All three of my kids have gone to The Goddard School of Carmel (West), and we’ve had a consistently wonderful experience. The teachers are caring, the environment is nurturing, and my kids truly thrived there. I recommend it to everyone!

Chase & Charlotte & Carson's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

We've been very happy with the quality of care and level of communication from the teachers. Our son is always in a great mood when we pick him up and clearly has fun all day. When he has a rough day, we're notified and it's clear the teachers do a great job trying to make the best of it. Seeing the teachers interact with all of the kids, not just our son, is extremely reassuring - they all do a great job responding to the kids needs.
