Wake Forest Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • This is my child's last year at Goddard before moving onto kindergarten and I know she will be very well prepared for this next chapter in her life. She has learned so much in Goddard! Not just academically but socially as well. Also, the staff is GREAT! I will definitely miss everyone there after she graduates.

  • What I like most about Goddard is the quality of care. I know, without a doubt, that my children are with teachers who genuinely care. They genuinely care if they’re safe, happy, not feeling well, or accomplishing something new. I feel that I have amazing working relationships with the staff at Goddard. There is nowhere else I would rather drop my girls each day!

They always are open about how his day went and I do see the growing changes that they are helping with. Tom also is up every morning saying hi to every parent and child by name. It's a great way to start out the day when everyone knows who you and your son are. This also goes for Ms Dee and Ms Melissa.
