What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

WE LOVE THE GODDARD SCHOOL SPRING GARDEN!!! The best care, the kindest teachers, the most attentive staff, the cleanest facility, the best family community.

Izabelle & Gabrielle's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Our family has been with this daycare for 2.5 years, and we couldn’t be happier. The teachers know our son well and treat him with such kindness, patience, and enthusiasm. He’s grown so much socially and academically during his time here, and he genuinely looks forward to each day. We really appreciate the consistent communication, the thoughtful activities, and the safe, caring environment they create. Highly recommend!

I like that the teachers all know my child’s name. It’s clean and there are processes in place to keep it clean. They have a plan for my child’s development and ultimately all the children look happy.

Goddard Spring Garden has been a blessing in my family’s transition with our first little one. The trust we felt starting our 3 month old at Goddard was a relief as I returned to work. From day one he began to learn and thrive with such caring and dedicated teachers and supporters. Now almost two months into daycare, the Goddard community really is like extended family to us.

Our almost 5-year-old has been at Goddard from the beginning, and we are very grateful for the supportive and nurturing environment that they have provided. The spaces and classrooms are bright and spacious, and the teachers are awesome and responsive to our questions and needs. Such a good community of staff, teachers, and families.
