We have been very happy with Goddard. The staff and teachers are very friendly and accommodating. The curriculum is also great, our daughter has been learning so much and truly enjoys going to daycare.

Antonia's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Structure, layout, organization. Brightly lit, soft coloring intermingled with exciting splashes. But above all - the quality and caliber of teachers. I especially love receiving reports and photos on a daily basis. It must be so much work to go above and beyond to do this, but it is deeply appreciated.
