What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
The teachers are wonderful, caring, communicative, and invested in both of my children. I appreciate the community the staff is building. Everyone is friendly, outgoing, and knows my children by name.
We love this school SO much. Every teacher is wonderful and clearly really loves the kids. I know my daughter is safe, happy, well cared for, and gets a ton of educational enrichment and school readiness prep. They are also open more than any other daycare in the area, which is a huge deal for us. Literally the first people I told I was pregnant with #2 was the Goddard team so I could make sure he has a spot when my maternity leave ends. Couldn’t imagine sending either of my kids anywhere else!
Very high quality staff, administrators, curriculum, activities and creativity. We love it !
We’ve been part of the Goddard family for almost two years, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care and support they’ve given our son, and us as parents. From the very beginning, they have gone above and beyond to create a nurturing, safe, and joyful environment where our son has thrived. It’s been so nice to watch him grow while being surrounded by people we completely trust. We are so grateful to be at Goddard, it’s been such a special part of our family’s journey.
1. The teachers are excellent - We have had several teacher who were do an awesome job with our daughter 2. The Directors are all awesome - Each one of them goes out of there way to know parents and students personally, which is such a bonus 3. We are always aware of what is going on in classes, activities and feel like we are included in our daughter's development at every stage. 4. The school is actively engaged in the community, PNO, Holiday celebrations, inclusivity etc..
Great enthusiastic teachers and staff; organized and clean school; fun activities for the students; walks to the park; good communication!
We love the care and attention teachers and directors at Goddard give our girls! They both have had a wonderful experience and are growing up to be well-adjusted little humans - and part of that is because of the Goddard team! We couldn’t be more grateful :)
