What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

I recommend this school to others! It's clean and welcoming atmosphere. He's 14 months and he's already doing so many activities and even comes home doing sign language! With the Tadpoles app I can see what he does on a daily basis, which is a huge help for a working mother :)
