What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

My son's level of intelligence, managing emotions, and motor skills have absolutely flourished since moving over to Goddard.

Jackson's Father

Preschool Classroom

We have been sending our kids to Goddard since 2016, and couldn’t be happier. Frankly, Denise and her staff have become a second family to us. The teachers, regardless of what class our kids have been in, have been wonderful. They all seem to care and make them feel loved and special while they are there.

Riley & Wes's Father

Preschool Classroom

We love the atmosphere and how friendly the staff is! Any concerns or issues, they address promptly. We’ve had amazing teachers in each class my son has transitioned to. He is always excited to go to school, he has learned so much since he started and continues to grow in his education and personality. I have Goddard to thank for that! (especially the potty training).

Grayson's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Our son has learned so much from your school! As first time parents, there were many things we were struggling to teach our child early on. However, your program (and incredible teachers!) supplemented our efforts and helped him learn some of those things at school. This sounds kind of weird, but thank you for being our coparents when he's at your school! Thank you all for what you do!

Isaac's Father

Pre-K Classroom

Goddard has been stellar from day one, and our daughter has thrived there. It's obvious that she is well-cared for, and the communication and follow-up from the teachers and directors has been exemplary. Goddard has truly done everything possible to welcome and support our daughter and family.

Deacon & Story's Father

Toddler Classroom

Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The activities/curriculum are so well thought out and age appropriate. I look forward to spending many more years with Goddard Saint Charles!

Ryan Olivia 's Mother

Infant Classroom

We have loved every teacher my kids have had at Goddard. This is now our 3rd child to go through Goddard Saint Charles. When my older boys come in with me to pick up our daughter, teachers still know their names and greet them. They truly care. Communication has always been top notch with the school as well.

Patrick & Joseph & Kinley's Mother

Toddler Classroom

We love the this Goddard school. It’s clean, we love that our daughter has a consistent schedule every day with naps and the teachers are amazing. She learns so much here.
