Goddard is well-organized and I appreciate the steady leadership of Kavita and Jane. It is a supportive and caring environment for our child.

Luna's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

We have been so thrilled with our experience at the Goddard School! The teachers/administration team are wonderful and welcoming, it is such a happy environment with wonderful infrastructure, and I am impressed by the curriculum. It is great how often the children get to play outside as well. My son comes home talking about so many different things that I would not have thought to teach him at home.

Preschool Classroom

Our family has been with Kavita and her team for many years now and 3 of our 4 children... we've always had a wonderful experience, felt our children were very cared for and always felt like communication and access to both the teachers and Kavita/administration was available to us if we had questions. We highly recommend this team to anyone looking for high quality child care in the area!
