What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
We have had a great experience at Goddard. Within a week of switching to the school, we saw a huge improvement in my son’s vocabulary. Now that both kids are going, we continue to be impressed. From the kindness of the teachers and admin staff to making a learning fun, our kids wake up excited to go to school each day. It’s been a 10 out of 10 experience.
The staff are great and everyone at Goddard is very accommodating to our needs. What's especially helpful is the reliability of Goddard if our oldest, who spends half a day there, has a snow day or off day at his other school.
Teachers, staff, management & ownership shows that they care about the students/children consistently, not just when someone is watching.
The girls love school and we appreciate how happy it makes them.
Excellent teachers/staff. My children are learning so much and are safe here. Great environment and facility
