GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

Read More
We are a new family to Goddard (started Sept. 2023). The previous daycare we were using was one which we had used intermittently over the past decade. Goddard is a preparatory school for kindergarten versus a facility that staffs babysitters. Our child has grown so much academically, socially, emotionally, and physically in the past 6 months. Our only regret is that we didn’t start her here when she was an infant.
Mary's Father

We love Goddard and have been there since it opened in 2020.
Cameran & Talbot's Mother
Preschool Classroom
The teachers and staff are wonderful and committed to making sure our son is learning and continuing to hit important milestones. His teachers especially always make sure we know exactly how he is doing and we are appreciative of that level of communication.
Nolan & Briggs's Mother
Toddler Classroom
The teachers and staff are incredible. The curriculum is amazing, thorough, and challenging. The directors are intentional and outstanding.
