I can't say enough good things about this school and the staff here!!! Our daughter started back in March and my only regret is that I didn't enroll her so much sooner! It has been such an amazing experience watching my daughter learn and have so much fun there. Every single staff member we encounter is so pleasant and caring. Everyone knows my daughter by name and she feels so special! I can tell that her teachers genuinely care about her. We also have more needs than most because our daughter was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I was so concerned that we wouldn't be able to keep her in school because I didn't know if they would want to or were able to help us manage her condition while she was at school. When I informed them about her new diagnosis, it was an immediate relief to hear that not only were they willing to take care of her new needs, but they are also completely trained and skilled at helping us. They have several staff members who are trained in T1D management and they give my daughter her shots at school with no hesitation. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that she is in great hands when she isn't with us. They are so responsive with any changes or needs that come up. I completely trust them with her care, and even more than that she LOVES going here! She has made great friends and loves everyone she interacts with. She comes home telling me new things she has learned all the time. They do such amazing and educational activities with the kids. I could go on and on about how great this school is. I am so grateful that our daughter has gotten the Goddard experience. I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone, especially other nervous T1D parents!!! Thanks for being so amazing, Goddard! We love y'all! ❤️

I couldn't be happier with our experience at Goddard! The environment is so loving and positive, and the staff is absolutely wonderful. When our son went through a tough transition, the teachers were incredibly supportive and worked closely with us to ensure he was in a place where he could truly thrive. It's so special to see teachers greeting our daughter by name, even those who aren't in her class. They truly make an effort to know every child, and we couldn't love them more.

Just fantastic. For some perspective I tend to be rather opinionated, some might say "judgy". After a year and a half of part-time preschool my child has, for lack of a better word, blossomed there. He loves his teachers, they are beyond understanding and compassionate, they're like an extension of an ideal family. The facility is clean, engaging, safe, and accessible. The office staff is warm and friendly, the owner is accommodating and involved. The only negatives is the volume of students they can accommodate - for how great of a school it is it should definitely be larger. Which leads to my last bit of the review. It is a very popular school, for good reason, so get on the waiting list early.

Amazing facility and caring teachers. We have had such a great experience with our daughter attending pre-k here. They follow a well planned curriculum that has prepared her for kindergarten; with lots of fun along the way. She and her older sister love the summer camp too!
