What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Goddard School of Linthicum is very welcoming and all of the employees make an effort to make you feel like family. Entering and exiting you are always greeted with a smiling face and quick small talk.

Elizabeth's Mother

Infant Classroom

Everyone has been friendly, communicated well, & has taken great care of our child. The daily updates are a great way to know our child is being taken care of. She seems to be hitting all of her milestones either early or on time, and I believe Goddard has played a large role in facilitating that with all that they do with her throughout the day. They’ve also provided a lot of structure & routines that have helped her at home when it comes to naps & feeding.
