Celina Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • I have taken my son to The Goddard School since he was 3 months old, and we have had an amazing experience. Every class he has moved to has had wonderful teachers who care about him. We have also been told several times that he is so advanced, and we give a lot of that credit to what they are teaching him everyday!

  • Great staff with amazing leadership. Our kids have excelled / improved at every level since the transition to Goddard. I only wish we had brought our oldest here first.

    Pre-K Classroom

  • Goddard has been amazing since day 1. The directors and teachers are all great at communicating what is going on, and keeping us up to date on our child’s development. They respond quickly if there are any worries or issues, and take careful consideration when moving kids to the next class. We 100% attribute our son’s educational strides to Goddard, and know that he is set up for success due to what he has learned so far!

They communicate information well, and they make sure their teachers do too. The teachers have a love for teaching and a spirit for loving young kids. We feel fortunate that our daughter has had such a positive experience in her first school setting.

  • I love that the owners and front office staff know us and treat our kiddos so well. Our kids have learned so much, they talk about what they learn as soon as they get home which they’ve never done! They have tons of fun activities for the kids and they never get bored. They send so many photos and videos so my husband and I can see all that they do during the day. I would recommend Celina Goddard (and have) to anyone!!
