Happy Mother!

Our daughter has attended the Goddard Millersville school since it opened. Before choosing Goddard, we researched a number of area schools including Celebree and Kindercare. We were very impressed with the brand new facility, the owner, and her staff. Our daughter has attended the school now for almost half a year, and she has learned so much. Her fine motor skills, her vocabulary, her manners, and her creativity has all increased. We are very grateful to Goddard for the great work they do. As two working parents, we know we are leaving her in great hands every day.
