We’ve had an amazing experience at The Goddard School, and the incredible team is what truly makes it special. Every teacher and staff member has been warm, attentive, supportive, and genuinely invested in our child’s growth and happiness. They create such a caring, welcoming environment not just for the kids, but for parents too. The team consistently goes above and beyond to make families feel supported and connected. Our child has thrived socially, emotionally, and academically, and we are so grateful to be part of such a wonderful community.
Laura RobbinsMay 24, 2026At The Goddard School, exceptional teachers create a warm, nurturing environment where our children feel safe, loved, and inspired to learn every day. Their dedicated staff goes above and beyond, giving us complete peace of mind that our kids are receiving the absolute best care and education
deepanshu chopraMay 16, 2026I was so excited to register my child for Goddard School with all the great reviews and recommendations. With the recommendations, I was advised to sign up early bc spaces were limited and waiting list could be long, so we went on the tour and registered while I was still pregnant. We were told that we just missed an open spot for jan/feb of 2026 when we tour in June of 2025 and march of 2026 would be the earliest for an opening. They put us on a waiting list and said if anything were to open up earlier than March, they would reached out. The first week of March came and we still had no communication with Goddard so we reached back out. We started getting the run around. Refusal to provide any straight answers, took days, multiple calls and emails for them to give us the same run around. We finally pushed for our deposit back and scrambled to search for another daycare when we had already delayed returning to work by two months, thinking we had a spot at daycare. Now we have to delay back to work another few months in hope of finding a spot at another daycare. This was a terrible experience and one we were trying to avoid knowing spots were limited. I mean, we went in while I was still pregnant!!!
Yimberly NApr 21, 2026Goddard has been our choice of daycare for 9 years now! Their teachers are certified, willing to help and very kind! Their teachers front office folks are always friendly too! They’ve always been willing to hear our concerns and work with us whenever needed.
Amina SaifiMar 11, 2026We love Goddard! The teachers are amazing and our son is already excelling in areas he was behind due to their curriculum. I’m impressed with the number of activities and all of the facilities available to the kiddos - there is so much value for the price.
Alexis BartonAug 14, 2024Enrolling our toddler in Goddard Schools has been a really great decision. The amazing teachers, the classrooms, the detailed curriculum, the different approaches they take to teach different topics are really impressive. My son loves going to school. We are beyond grateful for this institution.
