We live Goddard School!! All of the staff and teachers are amazing but we have to to spotlight Ms. Jenna, Ms. Monique, and Mr. Jason. My son has built such a wonderful relationship with them and i am so appreciative for all of the hard work and dedication they give to my son. I would definitely use this school for any future kids.

I applied for teacher assistant/ floater position and I was called for an interview and the email read that I would go to about two or three classrooms. Then they was going to observe on how I handled the situation well I only went into one classroom. When I did the class was having snack time and play time and so I never got to really interact with the children. Then I get an email this morning telling me that they decided to go in another direction. So I wouldn't waste my time in applying with this school because this school is a total joke and I will never apply here ever again

Great experience at Goddard. Teachers and staff are very kind and welcoming. Different weekly interactive lessons for the kids. They have an app for picture updates on what they are learning throughout the day. Halloween trunk or treat was a blast. The school does a nice job mixing up the activities and making it fun.

We’ve been going here for three years and we love it. Teachers really care about each student and the owners Miss Pinky is the sweetest.

Our son has been attending Goddard since he was 5 months old. The infant class is remarkable. It was nerve wrecking leaving my baby in the care of others but I was quickly eased by the caring nature of his teachers. They ultimately want what’s best for him and provided him with top notch care. I am comfortable knowing he is going to school with amazing and thoughtful teachers and staff with a curriculum built for him to gain new skills and an environment for him to create a home away from home. Also, all of the staff is so kind and have been patient with my 500 new parent questions. Highly recommend!

My son has been going to Goddard since he turned one. He is now in Pre-K. Every teacher he has had through the years are absolutely amazing! They are knowledgeable, caring, and truly love what they do. I can honestly say that my family will miss this school next year when our son starts Kindergarten. Thank you for EVERYTHING, Goddard!!!

We really love this Goddard! Although our time with them was short (we were waiting for a spot at a school closer to us) we absolutely loved our time with them! There is always a director when you need them, the teachers love in your babies, their facility is clean and welcoming, they are community driven, their reports are detailed and thorough, and you can really tell their staff is connected and invested.We are sad to leave and love them so much!We were in the cubs room!

Great school with an amazing faculty and staff. We have put all three of our children through The Goddard School of Canton and would highly recommend it to anyone looking. The two that have graduated still ask about going back to visit. They love it here.

Where do I start? It’s truly impossible!First, and most importantly, this school has become an extension of our family over the years here. We are privileged to have both of our children enrolled here since they were infants, with 1 almost graduating from pre-k. Everyone is aware a good school starts with amazing administration. This is to say the least here. From the tippy top down, each and every person at this school is noticeably driven by the same goal, to grow and develop children. This school is inclusive, innovative, approaches education on every level, caring, fully involved in every step, safe, loving, always finding ways to improve, supportive, and puts emotional and social development first. Just to list a minimum of what this school has to offer. Our pre-k child is more than ready for kindergarten at this point. This school’s curriculum builds on itself to give every child the foundational skills to be successful through school and life. It’s wild how much they know and can do, but I know this is the result from years of being under the care and direction here. I’m grateful for the tools they have provided them and the loving environment in which they have grown in. I’m looking forward to watching our youngest experience the same and encourage anyone looking for a place to do the same for their children to start here.P. S. Goddard, thank you for all of the incredible people who have brought my children the joy and love in their time here. I am truly in debt for the amazing years we have spent, and the many more we will have. Know that each of you have made the biggest impact on some of the most important years in our lives.

We just recently joined the Goddard family and everyone made us feel very welcome and comfortable with the transition, and most important our little girl loves it! We’re grateful for everything you do!

Our daughter has been in the care of Goddard since she was 9 months old and just recently graduated from their Pre-K program. They have loved and treated her like their own from day one. They have been patient with her during rough morning drop offs when extra hugs were needed. The front office staff (Ms. Kayla, Ms. Kristina and Ms. Julie) have always been receptive to any concern or question I might have as a first-time (& overly anxious) mom. They handled the pandemic seamlessly, ensuring the school was clean and safe. She loves being greeted and hugged by her former teachers in the halls. She has thrived in their Pre-K program this year. Ms. Ruth and Ms. Jackie prepare their students to excel in Kindergarten. Ms. Julie and staff have knocked it out of the park with Summer Camp this year. Our daughter already asks when she came come back to visit! We are so sad to see our 4 years here come to an end.

This school is the best place for our little precious children. The staff and teachers are very loving and are attentive to our kids needs. The safety of this school knowing your child is safe is without a doubt safe. The teachers are very good and we pick up a happy child and leave her there without her not wanting to be left is a relief.

I feel completely safe leaving my child at this daycare. He learns everyday and come homes saying new words. His teachers are amazing! We left another daycare to join this one and couldn’t be happier!

Where do I begin? Let's start from the beginning. For the first 3 years of my son's life, he attended an in home family daycare and thrived within the small, intimate environment. Due to life changes, it closed and we had to relocate to a commercial daycare in Cummings. Unfortunately, within 6 months, we noticed that he was regressing and after a conversation with the owner, we immediately removed him and went into fast gear of seeking help and getting him tested for the spectrum. For the next few days, I talked to several day care centers and my son and I visited a few together, but once we entered the Goddard School, his entire demeanor changed to reflect calmness and curiosity. Ms.Pinki gave me her full attention as I spoke in length about our current situation and concerns. While speaking, she gave him some blocks to play with and he built several fish items. We discussed if Goddard would be a good fit and Ms.Pinki shared resources with me to help me better navigate this new terrain I was treading. Then we went for a tour. We stopped at the Panda classroom while Ms.Kat was reading a book to the class and he immediately walked in and sat within the circle. His actions spoke volumes and I knew we found his second home.Since that day, the Goddard family continues to provide a learning environment that my two sons can thrive within at every level of development. I will take a minute here and praise Ms. Pinki for her leadership and communication skills during the pandemic. In the mist of chaos, she was the voice of reason. I trusted her judgment and respected the hard decisions that she made at Goddard to keep it safe despite the political discourse that divided this nation. She took immediate action. My sons were able to attend Goddard during this time and they remained healthy and safe.All the teachers whom my sons have encountered are amazing and they are so eager to teach, care, love and support my boys. Since the first day we walked into Goddard, my eldest son was given the support and tools at Goddard to help him when he started Kindergarten. I know that the individual attention from his teachers, especially Ms. Ruth, to help him write from using the sensory table to shaving cream gave him alternative methods to improve his gross motor skills. They were very attentive to him and stayed in constant communication with me. Goddard provided him room to grow as an individual even though his social cues are delayed, and his focus and attention need guidance. They helped him every step of the way.They also partner with a local therapy center and at least once a year, there are free screenings. I have been able to take advantage of these services, particularly with my youngest and we had him screened for speech therapy. Prior to the pandemic, they provided space for a vendor to come in and my eldest took advantage of the sports and gymnastic activities to help with his coordination. I am so impressed with how they care so much for my boys and the Goddard community.The daily reports with pictures and activities help me engage with my boys at pick up and we can talk about their day, what they learned and how much fun they had - this is a standard for me now when I pick up my eldest at school, we continue this daily routine to discuss his day and stay engaged with him post Goddard. Even though they have scheduled parent-teacher conferences, the teachers take time out to discuss my boys' successes and concerns with me at any time which keeps me alert and engaged with their learning. There is no question that I will enroll my youngest in their PreK program this year because of the success I see in him now and the amazing journey my eldest son continues to walk.Overall, partnering with Goddard in my boys' education and holistic development has been the best investment for our family.
