I have used this provider for more than 6 months
This Goddard School is more of a second family. We sent both of our boys here from 2021 to 2024, from ages one and three up through four and five. I cannot say enough good things about this place! The level of care for each child exceeded all my expectations. The teachers genuinely cared for my kids and helped them to learn and succeed in a fun and exciting way. I was particularly impressed with how the school handled behavior issues with my younger son, he had a very rough time and they worked with me and my husband as we worked to improve his behavior. I felt so supported and knew my son was seen for his big heart despite his behavior. Through the months of working with both a behavioral therapist and the school, we were able to turn his behavior around completely! The behavioral therapist even mentioned multiple times how she was impressed with the school's responsiveness and that she could talk directly to the teachers to discuss methods of behavior improvement. I recommend this to anyone looking for not just a daycare, but a loving place to raise a smart, intelligent child. The owner is fully invested in how well this place is run and is personally there almost daily. She cares about how the teachers and students are doing, and it really shows in the quality of care. Both of my boys loved going there every day and missed it when they went to their next schools. And both my boys were ahead in their new schools because of the amazing curriculum at Goddard. I miss going there every day to drop off and pick up my kids, being greeted by the front staff, and seeing the excitement as my kids would run to their classrooms. I will forever be thankful our family was blessed with having this place as a second home for our kids as they were growing up. THANK YOU GODDARD!!!
