James's Mother

Toddler Classroom

We’ve been so impressed with this The Goddard School in Arnold. Our little boy loves school and learning. A big part of this is because of the daily experience he gets at The Goddard School in Arnold. I know he is safe and have no worries when he is dropped off for the day. All the teachers show kindness and communicate effectively. We love this school.

I've sent two children to Goddard: my oldest in doing very well in 3rd grade, while my youngest is in their pre-K classroom.
