Our kids love going to daycare. Always excited to head out the door every morning. Goddard does a great job with keep us informed of activities, schedules, and feedback via app and email alerts. They have a great program that keeps the kids entertained while learning. I always feel they are safe there as well. I went there as a kids myself. Enjoyed my time there and now my kids go there. Would certainly recommend to anyone.

We like everything… the administration has been kind, welcoming, and diligent. The teachers are lovely, energetic, and sweet. It’s clear how much our toddler’s vocabulary has increased tenfold since she’s been there. She’s so happy to go to school. It’s tough as a parent to feel “good” about someone else watching your child but we truly feel that way at Goddard.

My son knows more than a normal 3 year old and I know that’s because of the work the classes do with them. It’s so worth it!!
