My husband and I are absolutely amazed at how our son has blossomed in his Pre K class. With the help from his wonderful teacher and great administrative class, he has become more social and involved than he ever had before. The school is clean, the envornment is spetacular and the school is very well organized. We appreciate each and every one of the staff members and are so happy we made the choice to have our little man be a part of The Goddard School.
The staff and teachers are so caring and kind. They truly care about your child's health and wellness, you feel safe when you walk in the doors to leave your child at school. They communicate with you on everything, you never feel as if you don't have an answer as to what your child is doing or how your child is acting while at school. The staff is great at responding to any questions you may have, email or phone. I love Goddard and so happy I chose them for my child.
