What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
Everything :) The teachers are so hands on, friendly, and caring when interacting with the children. Chase learns so much and has formed great attachments with both friends and teachers at the school. We love the art projects in particular, and learning some yoga poses so she can do them with us at home!
We like most everything about The Goddard School. The building and classrooms are very inviting and always appear to be clean and kept. The administration team and teaching staff are always so friendly and helpful. Most importantly, our son is happy there and that is our top priority.
The educations services at Goddard are very positive and fun for the children and extremely effective. My daughter graduated from the Goddard School this past summer and her MAP scores are well above her peers her school district and in the state!
Tailored approach to each child and caring, welcoming teachers and administrators.
