Amazing staff, facilities, incredible curriculum. My child is thriving and we cannot be happier.
Ada's Mother
Toddler Classroom
We like a lot about the Goddard School, for example, the interactive classes focusing on different learning objectives, the music classes which my daughter LOVES most, the daily outdoor adventures, the open communication channel from the directors to the parents, and the fact Kayleigh has learned so many new words and so many social manners. We are very happy for her to be learning at the Goddard School.
