We have had 2 children in Goddard, from 2018 through today and we are so happy with the care they receive on a daily basis. We love our kids' teachers, the curriculum, real life skills that they're learning, and the high standards. Ms. LaWanda, Ms. Courtney, and Ms. Sara have been stand out teachers for our children, thought all of the teachers are amazing. We are so comforted knowing that our kids have the social and academic foundation to be successful in school and in life!

My son had extreme separation anxiety. I truly thought it would take months to get him to stay at school without crying at each drop off. THREE drop offs and he no longer cried. This is huge for my son! He told us he loves school and can't wait to go back. So impressed! So impressed that my son loves it so much. The culture is wonderful. Highly recommend.

The office staff and owners are very friendly. The owners are involved and invested, they are present and interacting with the kids and parents. The school does not feel like a franchise, they really care. The teacher turn over is pretty low. They care about their teachers and give them opportunities to move around the school and have new experiences and grow their careers. They care about the students and grow the curriculum in new and interesting ways. Offering programs like introductory chess in the classroom, and bring in external actives for purchase like AcroKidz.

The management, staff and teachers are all top notch and you can easily see they care about our kids...and how they develop! I wouldn't hesitate a moment to recommend this school to other parents. I am totally thrilled with this school and would not look anywhere else.

While I know my child is only 2.5 years old...thanks to their daily reports we know what was taught during the day...and we continue that in the evening. So yes...this is homework! Great work Goddard!!
Posted: April 13, 2018
Why?? It doesn't take longer than 1 second to realize that the staff and teachers take an interest in your child. Our girl has grown leaps and bounds thanks to Goddard

The saying goes...stuff rolls downhill. Well if the teacher assistant is excellent...that can only mean the lead teacher is excellent...and they obviously get this way from the leadership at the top.

The Goddard School is amazing! The teachers are caring and devoted and the front office team is always available and my so warm and comforting. The curriculum is right on target for the age groups; my son is learning so much and he loves going to school. Thank you!

Caring faculty and staff, wonderful curriculum! Our daughter is very shy but she's excited to go there and absolutely adores her teachers! She's really blossomed since she started!

The teachers and staff are fantastic. My daughters enjoy their time while at Goddard and look forward to going to school. The academics in the school are top notch and the teachers truly care about the students. We are looking forward to Kindergarten enrichment in the fall.

No homework for preschool or Kindergarten unless the child misses a day. Then they will give you if you ask.

We appreciate the individualized care each child gets. It is good to see Mr. Brad saying hi to the kids and individually calling their names. It makes the kids feel special when others call them by their names - even if not their main teacher.
Our family has two Goddard Kindergarten graduates and our third child is in Pre-K there now. Our oldest child is currently in high school and has always excelled which we believe is due to the early education he received from the Goddard school

We love the staff, both teachers and administrators, and the curriculum. We are so fortunate to have had the opportunity to send our child there.

We are so glad we chose Goddard for our daughter's first "school" experience. They were very understanding of her initial jitters and discomposure and helped make her transition easy on all of us. She now loves going to school and has the most wonderful teachers!

Goddard faculty provides guidance and curriculum which is very constructive , effective and adaptive to each child need.

I am truly impressed by the level of education that my children receive on a daily basis. I have a student in half-day public Kindergarten and the Enrichment program that Goddard provides has broaden her knowledge beyond the regular state curriculum and as helped foster her love of learning. Not only does her teacher go above and beyond but she is also building a strong academic and character education foundation. My younger student comes home with so much to share about what he's learned in school. He is having so much fun with each activity which is so educationally rich but play based while learning the fundamentals that he will need when he begins Kindergarten in the fall. His academic vocabulary is astounding and he loves to apply what he's learning in school with us at home. Everyday our choice to pick Goddard is affirmed. We are so grateful to be a part of the Goddard family.

Goddard school was recommended to us by our son's IEP teacher as a well structured environment. We originally had both our children in a Montessori school. While our youngest thrived in it, our oldest did not. We have been so happy to have found the Goddard School and even more thankful to our son's IEP teacher for recommending it. Since attending Goddard, his behavior has improved tremendously - almost a complete 180 from before. My son has friends he plays with, enjoys talking about what happened in his class that day, and loves all the songs, the books, and the activities. Even better - Goddard offers a wide array of 'after school' activities, such as: FitKids, Piano/Music, Dance (soon to come), LilKarate, and there is interest in others. We also enjoy the Parents Night Out at least once a month. After the initial 1-2 week change in environment, my kids tell me they absolutely love their new school and how their Goddard school teachers are their favorites.

I like the structured educational format that gives each student a diverse and rounded start to education.

Our child has attended this Goddard school for several years and we are pleased with the play-based yet structured program. The management team is very professional and we've had some great teachers. They helped our child to be well prepared to enter Kindergarten .

This facility is very new and the faculties are very friendly and capable. The online Tadpoles daily communication is really first class. I think it is excellent for the teacher, facility, communication and friendliness.

We love that Goddard provides a range of activities scaled to the children's abilities so they can explore and are exposed to different ways of learning, self-expression and socialization. The teachers are wonderful and our son is learning while having a great time.

Our child started at The Goddard School on their first day opened. Within two weeks, his vocabulary increased considerably and he came "out of his shell" a great deal. He's been there ever since (over two years) and I wouldn't consider putting him anywhere else. What we like most about Goddard: * Goddard has an excellent curriculum for each age * conducts testing of students 2-3 times per year and provides the input (comparison from last time) to the parents during parent-teacher conferences * for the most part, children are moved every six months to the next class - new teachers, curriculum built for that age group, etc. * the excitement of the teachers to teach their children, love and support them A great, fun and safe place for your child(ren)...highly recommended!
