Portland (Bethany) Reviews & Recognition

I like that my preschooler is learning letters, writing, coloring, and chess. He hadn't been very interested in any of these before enrolling with Goddard and now, he's blossoming with new interests! My 15 month old is exposed to so much and although he's not speaking yet, he can clearly follow instructions. I know he will eventually follow suit with his classmates.

Xavior & Chance's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

We love the facility - classrooms, indoor and outdoor play areas that encourage free play and movement. Activities are very age appropriate and the kids seem to love spending time at the school. Teachers and staff have great communication and always at the top of their game. We appreciate everything you do to keep our little ones safe and healthy.

My wife and I have seen real growth in our daughters language, speech, and counting skills. She is already leaning to present in front of people. Great combination of STEM and physical activity.

Oliver's Mother

Preschool Classroom

It's scary to send your kiddo to be with people you don't know, in a place you're not familiar with but my daughter is clearly happy to spend time here. She smiles and waves when we walk through the door, and that positive reaction gives me the utmost confidence that this is a great place.

Pierre's Father

Before/After School Program

Aiden loves it there - the only school he’s been to where he doesn’t want to go home with me at the end of the day! I very much appreciate the mask policy and fully vaccinated staff members, as well as swift communication about any Covid cases. We are also Impressed with the topics taught in class - ASL, Spanish, chess, yoga, typing. They didn’t teach those things at Aiden’s last two daycares.
