We’ve been at Goddard for our 2 and 4 year old for 8 months. Due to jobs we have done A LOT of travel, and thus multiple states and multiple childcare facilities (4 not including Goddard).

Ms. Anu and Ms. Seik in Monkey’s are an amazing team their communication to each other and to our children is so respectful! You can tell they adore the children. Their communication with parents is so refreshing! Goddard is exceptional at pickup for communication, from the teachers to the administrators ( Jess and Jenna). And you can tell they are intentional and work on improving ( including administration)!

As we moved up to the next age group, Ms.Quinn in Bears has a heart for children! She loves what she does and her room is calm and so respectful to each individual child. ( I’ve learned many a parenting tricks/ guidance from her) My FAVORITE part about Ms.Quinn is how observant she is, we receive positive notes about our child regularly. I feel like she sees our child’s full and beautiful personality!

Four year classroom – (Giraffe room)we had a rough start due to Goddard trying to find the right fit. Props to them, they identified the hurdles and actively worked on them and communicated those changes frequently, with successful outcomes. (Obviously I communicate, and that’s a two way street) now we have aged up to Kangaroos with Ms. Chelsi/Ms. Michaela and they are PHENOMENAL! Amazing co- teaching! Again, OUTSTANDING COMMUNICATION, in addition to the constant feedback we get from their internal app! You can tell they care and pay attention to each of their students!

Thank you for such a positive experience!

I will say you will see subs occasionally, and that’s just the nature of childcare, and we have seen less turnover here than previous centers!

Our daughter has attended The Goddard School for the last two years, and we couldn’t be happier with the education she has been provided. Even as young as she was when she started, there has always been clear intent in regards to her development at each stage. I am still amazed at some of the topics she is able to discuss coherently, being the age that she is.

Having came from another local daycare where it was obvious that there was little focus on education (think babysitter vs. teacher), we knew what we were looking for in a school. Prior to enrollment, Dr. Shakeel (one of the owners) took the time to discuss his philosophy on childhood development with us, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking skills.

We felt very confident walking away from that conversation, and haven’t regretted the decision to enroll our daughter since.

While not everything can be perfect in a business such as this, everyone there (owners, teachers, administrative staff) demonstrate genuine care for what they do. The peace of mind we have from this while our daughter is away from us, is invaluable.

If you are considering having your child attend The Goddard School, I highly encourage having an in-depth conversation with the staff there prior to making a decision. Not only is it the responsible thing to do for your child or children, but meeting the owners/staff will be much more insightful for you than reading opinions of internet strangers (myself included), whose values might not align with your family’s.

A huge thank you to everyone at The Goddard School for having such a positive impact on our daughter’s life, and indirectly ours. We hope the community continues to allow you to prosper, as you have helped our daughter to do the same.

Since we have been at Goddard we have had the most positive experience. Ms. Tracy and Ms.Sam in the infant room showed our little one so much love, patience, and kindness. Although, our baby has moved up we will forever give all the praise to these ladies for just being positive, patient, and uplifting in the infant room . We know our little ones are in the best hands every day at drop off. Ms.Sydney in the 2 year old welcomed our son with open arms after him being in a daycare that didn’t give him much attention. Since then both boys have moved up into their next age group of classrooms and we couldn’t ask for better teachers. Ms.Nikki, Ms.Danielle, Ms. Raine, Ms. Aaniyah, Ms.Ruthann and I’m sure so many others play a part of teaching and loving my kids every single day and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m so thankful every day that we chose to come to Goddard!
