Williamsburg Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • The teachers genuinely care for my children. They recognize my kids’ strengths and work with them in in a loving way. My daughter reaches for her teacher at drop off in the morning, and my son doesn’t want to leave at pickup. The happiness and growth of my children is a strong indication we are where we should be.

    Jeremy & Sylvia's Mother

    Infant Classroom

  • My child enjoys the program and has clearly learned a lot in the short time. She counts to twenty with ease and recites songs she learns and has made many friends. I especially like the outside activites Goddard brings in from fun bus to sports to dance. This is wonderful the kids and a benefit to the parents as well. Allowing parents to expose their kids to a variety of activities during school hours vice running around after school.
