What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
The new ownership and staff that have brought such a positive environment to the school and the longer staff members who have always ensured our children receive the best.
Very happy with the new ownership.
We have been with Goddard over the past 3 years. The teachers have been amazing with our 2 boys. The new owners have really brought a new feeling of warmth and excitement to the school.
Appears to have the best organizational structure as compared to other local daycare facilities.
The Goddard School has exceeded our expectations. My son has been here for two years and its incredible how much he has learned and he has had a lot of fun at the same time. I feel the teachers are what has made our experience so amazing here. It seems like they have all taken a special interest in my son and they have gone above and beyond. You can tell they love what they do. Their hard work and dedication is remarkable. My husband and I couldn't be happier with The Goddard.
The teachers engage the children, so they are excited to learn. They are patient and listen to the kids. It really makes a difference for their future development.
I am consistently impressed with the level of knowledge my children obtain from Goddard. There are numerous times when my children would say things or do things way above their age level that neither my husband nor myself even knew that they knew. I attribute that completely to the excellent educational services offered at Goddard. Their staff and curriculum is top notch.
So happy with my son’s classroom. Mrs. Jen is wonderful and plans so many great activities for the kids. Mrs. Debra and Ms. Jessika have been a dream to work with in the administrative with, esp these crazy times. Thank you very much Goddard!
