My daughter is very shy and had a hard time at other daycares. She has blossomed, and her confidence has improved significantly since starting at Goddard. Ms. Jennifer, the owner, and her lead teacher Ms. Brittany have welcomed us like family. I can’t say enough good things about this school!

I felt the need to share our story as another 1 star review had a very unfortunate and familiar feel to our experience with this Goddard. It’s been a couple of years since my son attended. He was 3 for context. We were called into a meeting for “behavioral concerns” where the director sat in silence most of the meeting making it to be a very uncomfortable and awkward meeting where my husband and I felt the need to say how we’d address these “behaviors” at home. The meeting was unstructured and we were sat in chairs in the office and stared at by the director and another teacher where there was silence because no one was saying anything which left us justifying to say how we’d “fix” things at home. Looking back I regret not remaining silent too and adding to the uncomfortable-ness because it wasn’t my place to basically “run” the entire meeting. To add, the meeting was actually insane my son was THREE. Please tell me what 3 year old behaves like a saint everyday. Yes, preschool is new and it can be an adjustment. Toddlers can be hyper and have a very, very short attention span. They’re brains are not developed yet to understand rights and wrongs as an older child would. I understand that certain behaviors are not okay and are not acceptable. We were doing all we could at home to try to talk to our three year old about behaving appropriately..but again, he is 3 not a 5 year old entering school grade. We are talking a literal toddler. After this meeting something happened the next two days we were called on the phone and asked to pick our son up immediately and said that’s he’s had too many incident reports and it wasn’t working out. This was calculated and the meeting was likely called between my husband and I to show they tried “reconcile” if we pushed back on the decision to withdraw him. Please, by any means if you’re spending a fortune on a school like Goddard and your child is “hyper” do not come to this one. Read the other 1 star review it’s strikingly similar to ours. I held back on making a review when this happened because I was trying to take the high road but after seeing another parents review that reminded me so much of our experience I felt the need to share.

Our journey for childcare was tough. We started with a nanny and it just didn’t work. We looked and looked and then heard about Goddard School. We immediately searched them on our neighborhood Facebook to see what actual word of mouth was. The comments and posts were amazing. Typically you see at least a complaint here or there but there was nothing. We decided to try it out and have been nothing short of amazed. The owner, the managers, the teams… they are so loving and fantastic. Leaving my baby girl behind was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but a month in she is THRIVING in her development, which is what was most important to us. We cannot say enough about Goddard. Thank you!

We are so glad we found this school when we were looking for a pre-K program for our oldest. She was part of their first graduating class and is THRIVING in first grade now! Our middle child is currently enrolled in their pre-K program and always brings home the best stories and learning experiences from her day. As a homeschooling family, it was important for us to find a place where our kids could get a very personalized learning experience and also to be able to learn through play. The Goddard School has gone above and beyond in catering to different learning styles of our children and meeting their emotional needs as well. We love the family feel of the staff, and the friendliest good mornings from the admin staff! Highly recommend this school!

My daughter has been enrolled since she was 6 weeks and I have never felt more peace of mind as a parent than her being here. The directors up front are always so nice and professional. The school itself gets a 10/10 on cleanliness alone! They’re super transparent about everything and always host fun events for the kids/families. Would recommend this school to anyone!

We love love love the Goddard school. From day one, my daughter was welcomed with open arms. As a LGBTQIA+ parent, I felt 100% supported and welcomed here. I would highly recommend The Goddard School to anyone.Safety and health are #1 concerns for this school and I’ve appreciated all efforts to ensure my daughter was safe.

Writing to share an incredibly unfortunate experience that involves my children. When we moved to this area I was looking for a high quality preschool experience for my children. I was told to visit Goddard, and set up a preview day for my two children. For context, my son was has a speech delay at age 2 just turned 3. In good faith, we took both kids to a preview day, and after 1 hour of him in Goddard I was left a voicemail by the owner stating “We have a problem, it’s not going to work for him here”. As a parent my heart dropped and I was immediately worried for my little one. I called back immediately asking to pick him up, and my good sense kicked in to ask why there was a problem. I was told that my son was opening the doors (something he cannot do), unhinging the playground lock (also something he cannot do) and was running around.For a child who has entered a new preschool, running around or feeling afraid seemed completely reasonable to me. The excuses they made were that he poised a safety threat at the age of 3, which was complete hogwash.What I realized is that this location doesn’t care about children unless they can enroll them and get them to conform at a mass capacity. Goddard is a business not an education facility that cares about children and they discriminated against my son.

The team at the Goddard school has always been very responsive. The school is clean. The lunches are catered, not cooked on site. The prices are comparable to Primrose. We love that they have an indoor play area for extremely hot or cold days. Jennifer, the owner/admin has always been very accommodating and quick to communicate. My girls really enjoy their summer camp teacher Ms Diana. She was kind and patient in the classroom and on field trips. Both my kids attended summer camp 2022 and 2023 enjoyed it so much that they wanted to do after school care with Goddard too. We have no complaints so far.

As a first-time parent, it was hard finding anywhere my wife and I were comfortable with leaving our baby girl. We chose Goddard because we just felt like it checked off everything on our list. Now we’re 6 months in and I wouldn’t want to take my daughter anywhere else, they treat her like FAMILY, they care about her and it shows, my daughter loves her teachers and the staff and she has learned so much from them. So grateful this place exists especially with so many options out there. You won’t regret enrolling here if you can.

We absolutely love this daycare! Our daughter has learned so much and flourished throughout her time here. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel welcomed and front desk staff is always available to answer any question or address any concern. We always feel so confident that we’re leaving our child in great hands.

It was hard to transition from having my daughter at home and needing to find care for her. I am so happy I found Goddard. Our daughter looks forward to going and seeing her friends and teachers. She has learned so much. We love it here!
