What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

The development we have seen in our daughter has been amazing! From the time she started at 8 months to today has been leaps and bounds. Everyday our daughter is happy to be dropped off at school and smiles from ear to ear at pick up. It is really wonderful to know our daughter is in a safe and nurturing place.

The teachers are wonderful and my child has been learning a lot...from math to sign language to being more creative. We love the activities that are offered like piano and chess which he has been loving. It’s a safe, clean and bright facility. We always feel comfortable when Zachary is there.

Zachary's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The teachers are incredible. They are attentive, creative, and so devoted to their job. My son has been at the school for over a year now and we are so impressed with his development due to what he’s learned there. He’s only 18 months and the focus they put on creative play and learning is unlike any daycare program I’ve heard of.

Your curriculum is fabulous! My son is writing his letters and numbers beautifully. He is able to write his name as well. I love that what the children learn during the day covers a wide variety of skills. He is having fun, his teachers are so loving and he has structure to his day.

James's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

I like the approach to learning, "learning for fun, learning for life" motto. I also like the fact that my son has developed life skills through interactions with his classmates and teachers. I also like the community service outreach that Goddard takes part in. Those are values we want to instill in our son and thank Goddard for their involvement in such activities.
