The teachers at The Goddard School really care for my son and his well being. Each day, they are engaging him in a variety of activities to keep him entertained, as well as work on various development skills. While it would be nice to be with my son all the time, I know they are doing so much more with him that I could ever hope to do at home activity wise!
