We love the Goddard School. The teachers take such great care of our infant and our four year old son loves his teachers and class. The Goddard School is professional, extremely organized and has just created such a fantastic environment for our kids.
Tanner & Layla's Mother
Infant Classroom
Your teachers are friendly, personable, and focused on the children’s health, well-being and education. Your COVID mitigation processes made us comfortable in bringing our child back to Goddard. The facilities are fantastic. Well lit, organized, roomy, engaging for the kids. The curriculum is great and has prepared our previous Goddard kid well for school.
