What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

It’s a great school. Location is convenient, the Director and owners are awesome. Turnover is a bit of an issue and communication could be improved a bit but again great school. I rate this as a 9 because it’s very expensive and not everyone can afford the steep tuition.

Olivia's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I like the updates throughout the day. I like the curriculum, along with activities that are done throughout the day. I like that my child has a connection with the teacher, and is getting more and more comfortable being there. I appreciate the end of day reports so that I can work with my child during my own time to reinforce what she is learning at school.
