Arnold 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.

  • I greatly appreciate the information we receive through the Tadpoles app. After switching from another day care, we are very pleased with how well administered the school. It's also clear Goddard provides an enriching environment. After a month, we've noticed a large expansion in our daughter's language development, which had previously been stalled due to hearing issues.

    Blythe's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • Wonderful front office, excellent teachers, and a state of the art facility. Our boys love going there and they receive excellent instruction to prepare them for school in the future.

    Brody Riggins & Ryker's Father

    Pre-K Classroom

  • We like that the children are engaged throughout the day. Many schools just let kids play, but at Goddard they learn. Also, children at Goddard seem to learn respect for each other and have a love for each other. A child we know (not at Goddard) is bad at sharing and shows signs of greed and selfishness. Our child is not that way and we feel that Goddard is the reason for that. We are happy he is giving and caring and sharing.

    Andrew's Father

    Toddler Classroom

  • I have been nothing but happy with our experience at Goddard School in Arnold. My son has flourished both socially and developmentally in just under the year he has been attending. All staff members are friendly and extremely helpful. I toured about 8 other schools in the local area, and none of them compared to the facilities and the staff at Goddard. Now that it has been almost a year, my decision to have our son attend Goddard has been reaffirmed many times over.
