What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

From the moment you walk in the door and are greeted by the friendly staff (who somehow know every person who walks through the door), to meeting the competent, caring, intelligent teachers, you are assured that your child and your child's development is in excellent hands. Our experience here has been well worth our time and money. We are beyond thrilled with this school, and will be recommending it to other parents.

Hunter 's Mother

Preschool Classroom

One hundred percent, it is because of the staff. I don't think my son's progress would be the same if it were not for such a caring staff. They are absolutely the reason for the success of all the students.

Caleb's Father

Pre-K Classroom

Fantastic teachers and great hours that really help families accomplish the best possible early education environment for all those who attend.

Waverly's Father

Pre-K Classroom

My children have been to a few different daycares due to relocation but Miss Wendy - from day 1 has made me feel welcome & assisted as a parent. My children have learned so much which is the goal before kindergarten. My 2 year old can sign for 10 different commands & speak greetings/colors/numbers in English & Spanish. I’m satisfied with the care & have trust in the leadership.

Angelo & Roman's Mother

Toddler Classroom

We absolutely love the teachers at Goddard and our daughter learns so much. She loves it and we are so happy with our choice to send her here. Her teachers and classmates are an important part of her community.

Shoshanna's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Though there were some transitions with my child’s classroom teacher (losing Ms. Sue) gaining Mrs. Cathrine. Has been a blessing. Ms. Kaiah is wonderful. All the staff work their butts off and it’s obvious you all really Care. Also, tadpole was a lifesaver for a nervous new momma letting go for the first time. Thank you. I have and will continue to recommend Goddard to the moms in my moms club.
