We have been at the Goddard at Walton park for over 6 years with 2 kiddos and cannot say enough wonderful things about the care they have received there. The team is organized, prioritizes safety, but somehow manages to also cultivate the most loving and inclusive environment. I have full confidence that my kids are not only safe and learning, but they are being nurtured and loved. I consider myself so lucky to be part of the Goddard family!
Since we have switched from a previous daycare we have seen an excitement in our son to go to school. He loves the engagement and activities to keep his busy mind, well, busy! The staff has been great with keeping us informed and overall more involved with our son’s day to day schooling and I feel as a parent more confident that he’s at the right place.
Over the past four years and two children enrolled at The Goddard School, I’ve watched each of my girls grow and thrive at school. From the infant room to Pre-K the teachers are caring, attentive, and strive to give the kids in their care the best experience and education possible.
I would recommend Goddard Walton Park to all of my friends and family. There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is the people. The teachers and staff are spectacular. They have created such a supportive and kind culture. In addition, they demonstrate care and compassion to children and parents alike.
Clean, safe, friendly, and welcoming environment. Amazing and accommodating staff. Set up well for enrichment and self-discovery across different age ranges and stages of development.
We've had our children at Goddard since they were 8 weeks old (and they are now in elementary school). I have never had any hesitation leaving my children with the staff because they treat my kids like they are their own. From the teachers to the administrative staff, they are all supportive and loving of both my kids and of us.
Our son’s teachers have been fantastic since he started roughly a year ago. Each classroom has helped foster his development and social skills. Each individual from the administration down has been warm and welcoming, very easy to work with when scheduling any out of school needs for appointments, etc and they have shown a great deal of care for our son on at an individual level.
Our school feels like home. The teachers are loving, caring, and perfectly suited to be educators. The administration truly feels like family and we couldn’t be happier to have our kids attend this school.
