GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

The admin team and the teachers blow me away! We switched our childcare from a nanny to Goddard when our daughter was 19 months. There have been challenges for both daughter and parents but Goddard has been beyond wonderful about communicating with us and we’ve seen improvements in our daughter’s growth and development after only a month.
Morgan & Child #2 & Child #3's Mother

We love the entire staff at Goddard. We are so grateful for the kindness, empathy, patience, and love they show to our children. I trust them implicitly and I’m so grateful to have found them.

Goddard is amazing. The attention to detail in planning out the curriculum and aligning it with the child’s developmental goals is truly outstanding. All the teachers are awesome and are genuinely interested in helping the child. The premises are very clean and are always well maintained.
