What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

The best daycare around! Even after we moved, we kept our daughter in this school. The staff is responsible, caring and nurturing. Even staff in other class greets her and us with a smile always. The office addresses our concerns in a timely manner. Our daughter has learned so many different concepts from the curriculum. Couldn't ask for a better place to leave your child.

I like the structure of the school with the lesson plans. The cleanliness of the school. The friendly staff. And most of all the updates and pics we get of our child throughout the day makes me feel connected.

Joe the owner is fantastic and has always helped our family. Both girls had an awesome education but the caring is what sets it apart.

Blake & Caelan's Mother

Kindergarten Classroom

Love the staff. The teachers are amazing. They deserve the world. Without their encouragement, their love and best intentions, we wouldn't be where we are today. I wish my children could be at Goddard forever.

The school pays attention to detail. My daughter was only there for 3 months and her development was noticeable after a few weeks
