We wouldn’t dream of sending our children any other place! The Goddard school has been amazing for our six year old. The staff feels like family, operations is significantly better with the ownership change, and I am confident that the children are getting set up for success as they transfer to public schools!

The Goddard School keeps "the whole child" as the forefront of their decision making. They have a true passion and commitment to developing a child's social and behavioral needs as long as having a rigorous academic program. The Goddard School is a comprehensive program that meets the needs of each child as an individual. We wouldn't take our girls anywhere else!
