Bottom line, we feel that our daughter is safe and cared for, and that the teachers/staff at Goddard are all committed to her happiness and growth. Also important are the start/end time each day, which gives us flexibility around work schedules.

Veeraj's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Best school ever! Teachers are caring, supportive and educated! Friendly atmosphere, and warm environment. Our kids had a select Mutism, and teachers were very corporative with the therapist and us, which made our son flourish, and selective mutism no longer an issue. So delighted we signed up! Yulia

John's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Several top reasons: The hours are family friendly. The staff/teachers are all welcoming and caring. There is a lot of intentionality about helping kids to learn and grow, even at the earliest of ages. The kids and staff are diverse. And the staff/teachers are very open to discussing and supporting specific requests of parents, whenever feasible.

Leo Austin's Father

All the teachers in the Goddard School are very responsible and considerate. My son joined Goddard this January, he quickly adapted to the new environment with their help, and he looks forward to going to school everyday because he likes the circle time and learning new things from the teachers, and he enjoys eating and playing with other kids at school.

Our son just started a month ago, and we love it! Ms Fatima and Ms Eyerusalem are so patient with both the babies as well as the parents. As new parents, we really appreciate the calm, positive atmosphere that both teachers provide. I’ve been impressed by the amount and variety of activities that are done to stimulate the children throughout the day. Thank you!

Isaac's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

We absolutely love Owen's teachers. They care for him just like we would and I feel like they are part of his family. As a first time mom, it is extremely comforting to know that he's in good hands during the day. Other things we love: - Teacher communication. - Artwork that he comes home with! - Flexibility with drop off times (really helpful with his medical challenges.) - Other teachers and staff call him by name. - Incredible communication during covid and clear policies.

My wife and I have had Chase enrolled at Goddard since he was 4 months old. He is now 3, and we have no plans of sending him to another school. As a father, I tend to be anxious not wanting anything bad to happen to Chase. That said, I have a peace of mind knowing he is well taken care of by his teachers.

Chase's Father

Pre-K Classroom

Everyone at Goddard is so kind, nice and supportive. There is effective communication and they take great care of my baby. The developmental program for babies/toddlers is great and we couldn’t be happier that we are sending our baby to this school.

The teachers are the greatest! My son won't stop talking about what he did with Ms. Eunice today :) They always send great pictures that make me feel like I'm not missing out on what's going on during the day.

Bowie's Father

The Staff. The welcoming of my daughter to the new environment. The teachers listening to information about my daughter and her personality and some of our family norms. They offer a lot of variety in activities, stories, languages. I love the diversity my daughter is being exposed to as The Goddard. Also their COVID safety protocols give me, as a parent, a sense of calm.

I love The Director, and all of the front office team. They are all so nice and helpful. I’m sure they have 1000 different things going on, but they always make make time to talk to us and keep us in the loop with what’s going on. I love each of the teacher’s my sons has had growing up. Each one is better than the next. They have had a 16 step hand washing process, since before hand washing was even mandatory! My 4 year old washing his hands better than my 11 year old!!!
