What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
We love the staff and the structured curriculum, even for infants! We immediately felt a peace about sending our child to Goddard Novi and are so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this community.
Excellent communication, friendly staff, friendly teachers. Love the app and the daily photos and updates keep us in the loop on how our child is doing. Love that the owners are always on site daily and visible, extremely welcoming each day. The facilities appear clean and foster a good learning environment. School takes child safety seriously.
We have been extremely impressed with the security, friendliness of staff, and exceptional communication that has occurred during our time at Goddard. We enjoy the app updates that we get with what activities our daughter did for the day and the thoroughness of her diaper changes, feeding, and napping. We feel that the staff truly care for our daughter and are attentive to her needs.
The Teachers and Staff love children and are dedicated to their health, happiness, and growth. The curriculum is expansive and includes all of the important developmental milestones. The building is also bright, inviting, and clean. We cannot say enough good things about The Goddard School Novi!
The Goddard teaching and administrative staff provide and maintain a great environment to facilitate learning and development for the students in their care. Our daughter is very enthusiastic about interacting with her teachers and fellow students.
As a parent, I want my children to feel safe, cared for, loved and have fun when they are not with me. The Goddard team are genuine, thoughtful and have a passion for what they do. The daily reports are very thorough and I appreciate reading what they did/learned that day. My children still talk about the special visits & events, which is an added bonus!
We recommend Goddard Novi every chance we get! They are constantly teaching the kids new things well beyond the learning milestones they will look for when they start kindergarten. Our children have been thriving at Goddard since 2020 and we really appreciate the staff and the teachers. Ownership is second to none and the new addition will be awesome!
Goddard School is a professional learning experience with high-quality teachers and programs. I believe Goddard School is top-tier day-care and learning for Pre-School and Infants in the area.
