We’ve had such a positive experience with The Goddard School! The teachers are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about the kids. The curriculum is engaging, and we've noticed real growth in both learning and confidence. We rated it a 9 only because there’s always room for little improvements, but overall we’re extremely happy and grateful for the care and education our child is receiving.
The teachers are amazing and curriculum is engaging. The indoor gym is a huge bonus especially for active kids.
The biggest factor for us is the responsive of the entire team, from the front office to the teachers. Whenever we have a recommendation or request, they take it as their own to either take it on board or provide excellent reasoning for why a different approach is needed. The rooms and facility are clean and my wife and I really feel the love the teachers for our children.
We have loved having our son at Goddard School. All of his teachers care about and are invested in his wellness and growth. We see a positive difference between him and kids at other school his age.
