Came here after being VERY disappointed by a school that claims to be a Zone of Learning and was supposed to be teaching STEAM curriculum. My daughter adjusted so quickly and it is very clear the teachers took to her and understood her from Day 1. She can go from climbing a rock wall to talking about the theme of a book to interacting with a robot in the same day!
Heather EvansFeb 11, 2026The Goodard School is truly a great place for learning. Everyone is welcome and feels welcomed. My child has grown and developed so much, and we have only been here for a short period of time. Wish I had found them sooner. ~Jen Allen
J JJan 7, 2026We love the Goddard School! Every teacher is simply the best. Our daughter learns so much every day and LOVES going to school! Highly recommend.
Nora ZwartNov 18, 2025The school is lovely and always very clean. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. I’ve had the chance to observe them in each classroom and I really love how they engage with the children. They are patient, attentive, and truly seem to care. I’m so happy I chose Goddard.
Cierria AllsOct 3, 2025My son Navy has been at The Goddard School since he was 9 months old, and it’s truly been like a second home for us. Over the years, I’ve watched him grow into a confident, curious, and kind child, all thanks to the nurturing teachers, engaging curriculum, and strong focus on both academic and emotional development. From infant care to preparing for kindergarten, Goddard has supported every stage of his journey with love, structure, and a sense of community we deeply value.
Candace PolkSep 14, 2025As a parent who was initially very apprehensive about daycare—especially after a disappointing experience at a previous center—I can’t say enough good things about The Goddard School. From day one, it’s been a completely different experience. The level of professionalism, cleanliness, and communication is outstanding. The teachers are incredibly sweet, caring, and attentive. They treat our daughter like one of their own, and it shows—she has absolutely thrived here. We love receiving the daily reports and photos without fail, and it gives us such peace of mind to see how engaged and happy she is throughout the day. The directors and owner are always accessible and responsive, which makes a huge difference as a parent. The special programming and activities offered go above and beyond—there’s always something fun, educational, or developmentally enriching going on. If you’re a parent feeling anxious about daycare, I wholeheartedly recommend Goddard. You won’t be disappointed. We’re so grateful to have found this place!
