What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

My child started attending Goddard this summer. It was his first time attending a program as he had previously been cared for by our nanny. He understandable initially had difficulty with the transition; however, his classroom team, including Ms. Camryn, have been phenomenal. They have visibly met him where he’s at and it had significantly contributed to the increasing ease and excitement with which he now walks into class in the mornings. So grateful for their support.

Diogo & Camila Clementine's Mother

Toddler Classroom

My little baby has adjusted so well to daycare. She was at home for so long and was extremely attached to me. But since she’s been going to Goddard she has started to open up more and is becoming more social like her big sister.

Sophie's Mother

Infant Classroom

The staff is highly professional, kind, and attentive to every students' needs. My son loves this school, and has nothing but good things to say about his experience here.

Maxwell & Jackson's Father

Junior-K Classroom

We feel confident that our baby is well cared for and in an environment that will help him to continue to grow and thrive. We love the communication and clean and updated facilities. Ms. Makayla and Ms. Jaela are awesome- it was super important to us that Aidan felt loved and safe with his caregivers while we are away from him, and they have definitely made us feel comfortable with having him in daycare.

The Goddard School of New Market has exceptional friendly staff all around from administration, teachers, helpers & janitors! They all listen & give supportive feedback.

Clayton's Mother

Preschool Classroom

We couldn’t be happier with everything at the Goddard School of New Market. The care our son receives is first class. He loves his teachers and the friends he’s made there. We are consistently amazed with how much he learns. I truly believe his time at the Goddard school will have our son ahead of his non-Goddard peers when he enters kindergarten in a few years.

Carter 's Father
