    Harper & Thomas's Father

    Infant Classroom

  • We moved here in February of 2024 and I couldn’t be happier with how well my boys adjusted to the school. The school was welcoming and really made us feel welcomed and at home. My mother is in education and is impressed with how much my boys are learning at the Goddard. My oldest is way head of where he needs to be preK. The school is organized and Heather and Jackie are fantastic communicators. This school is a dream. Sad that my kids cant stay forever.

    Violet 's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • Great Environment - we have had a blast and love the faculty. It is a little far from our current hourse which is tough at times. Only other issue is we have 2 young ones (2 and 4 months) which makes it hard for sick days. One of them always has something and there is not a sick room in school to make it easier.

    Serena's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • So far it’s been a wonderful experience. I feel comfortable dropping my daughter off in her classroom knowing she’s in good hands with her teachers that show a genuine interest in her learning and development. There are teachers that aren’t even in her classroom everyday that know her by name! I also love the daily photo updates, it eases my anxiety to see pics of her smiling throughout the day.
