Nice clean school- bright and sunny. Classroom sizes are a bit big and do tend to overwhelm the teachers at times. The teachers are younger and less experienced which shows in much of the feedback given. Daily feedback seems to focus on behavior. Boys tend to be aggressive in the class and there seems to be a lack of handle on how to curb this. Not thrilled.... Overall focus is on behavior vs. good behaviour and learning

I've had children in the Goddard school for a couple of years, and overall, we have been happy. They are learning a lot, making friends and staying active and busy. It seems like a normal, healthy environment that I am very comfortable with. The owners and staff are caring and supportive and always willing to talk or listen. My only complaint, and it's very minor, is that the classroom sizes can be on the large side and it seems to overwhelm the teachers at times. It's never been a problem that has impacted my children at all, just an observation. I would definitely recommend the school.
