The teachers are significant contributors and the primary reason for my love of the Goddard School. They genuinely care for the children and are clearly skilled teachers. I'm so happy my daughter is learning so much in a caring environment. I'm impressed with the daily communication I received from the school and the feedback from teachers even when unsolicited. I'm thrilled we chose the Goddard School!
