What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

I've been recommending the school to others already. I've seen only positive interactions between teachers and students so far, and the teachers and the students seem happy to be at school. However, it would be nice to receive more information about my child's day such as what book they read, what song they learned, etc. The information I am currently receiving is very generic.

Ezra's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Both of our boys love the school, have made great friends, and we have seen sustained growth in both of them since coming to Goddard. As a result, it’s great to be able to send your kids to a place at these core formative ages and have total comfort and peace of mind doing so. Would strongly recommend it for other parents!
