Good day everyone, As a parent of two (2) children, I can only speak about the facts. For starters, our son attended The Goddard School (TGS) and is now in the public school sector. He’s excelled in his classroom and at other realms of his development and I with confidence contribute a portion of his development to the excelling service we received from the TGS. Our daughter is now a prodigy of the same, as she presently attends at TGS, she too is excelling in a manner that leaves us speechless…yes, speechless. First, I can state that after reading the reviews (stunned by some), Mr. & Mrs. Wright are at the fore-front of every parent and infant/child’s best interest. I don’t see a money symbol in their persona, however, genuine love and love in what they do and provide. Second, the staff at the front desk is stellar. Mrs. Shannon (Director) has never let me/us down, stellar and amazing servitude spirit. Miss Christine is the Asst. Director and holds as much passion for the children as for the staff she and Miss. Shannon governs. Last but not least, Miss Casey, Miss Andrea and Miss? (Spanish Teacher, I’m sorry) who relieves Miss Casey at the end of her shift…are BEYOND STELLAR AND AMAZING. The fact that we leave are children at a second place of residence, (yes, our children’s second home) as they spend just about 1/3 of their present life at TGS should speak volume. My wife and I are both in the Medical field and we dedicate ourselves to saving lives. The Goddard School dedicates itself to saving the gift your child has and brings it to resurgence, as our eldest lost his at another day care facility. I can only PRAISE their commitment to the parents and more importantly…our legacy, our two precious children. Note: I can’t speak for the teachers. However, as far as turn-around for staff, this is true everywhere, teachers leave to further enhance their education or for other personal reasons, as I had some share with me in two different day care institutions. Once again, thank you Goddard School for your AMAZING SERVICES rendered. Respectfully, Mr. Elbert B.

I currently have two kids enrolled at this location and can’t say enough good things about our experience. The staff is amazing!! Brooke and Travis (owners), Shannon (Director) and Christy (Asst. Director) have been great to work with. They are friendly, approachable and it’s easy to see how much they enjoy the kids. As for the teachers, they are top notch and do an outstanding job. Casey, Emma, Erin, Kendall, Jessica, Adal, Catherine and Melissa are just a few of the awesome teachers my kids have had the opportunity to learn from since they started at Goddard. They are accommodating, proactive and really seem excited to be a part of the kids development. My 2 year old loves going to school and is in no hurry to leave. She talks about her teachers at home and it’s been easy to see from the start how much they are learning from the curriculum. My son is only 8 months, but he’s all smiles when I drop him off and pick him up. We also had the unfortunate experience of learning how the teachers and staff respond in a crisis of sorts. My daughter had a febrile seizure at school just after her second birthday. The teachers did everything right and that’s not just my opinion, but the professional opinion of the paramedics and staff at the children’s hospital my daughter was taken to. They started CPR, called 911 and called us right away. One of the added benefits of this location, is it shares a roundabout with the police and fire station, :) so the paramedics were there in under 2 minutes. In addition to taking great care of my daughter, Shannon did a great job when she called me which couldn’t have been a fun call to make. The love and concern from all the teachers and staff were more than we could ask for. I would recommend this location to anyone!

As a former teacher, I have nothing but praise to give this school! My daughter started attending The Goddard School in August of 2015 in the preschool program (she is now in the Kindergarten Prep program), and her educational and social development has flourished. The curriculum of the school is top notch and diverse, and has allowed her to soar. The teachers consider the different developmental levels the children are at and individualize their instruction to fit the needs of each child. I have complete confidence that my daughter will be educationally and developmentally ready for kindergarten. The staff is also incredible! My children are always greeted with hugs and good mornings, and they leave with hugs and goodbyes. When my daughter is sick, she is completely upset because she misses being at school! Date nights are our favorite because my children get to “party at school” with their favorite staff members! The staff is always available and ready to help with any questions or concerns that we might have, and when an issue comes up it is dealt with promptly and with great care. It is clear that the staff truly enjoys working there and truly cares about our family and the other families that attend the school. Based on our experience, I would recommend this school to any of my friends and family. We look forward to our youngest starting her experience at The Goddard School!

Brooke and Travis, I just wanted to send you an email because I grow more and more impressed with the Goddard School every day. I LOVE the new "Tadpoles" program. I enjoy getting the daily information via email with the added bonus of seeing pictures of the girls enjoying themselves at school. I am excited about all of the learning that is going on in the Elephants classroom. I LOVE that Isabelle gets to utilize the SmartBoard and have access to such neat technology. I never thought I would be in favor of a child in preschool getting homework, but it works! I enjoy practicing what Isabelle is learning and being part of her education. I am awestruck that so much of what you do is "right on track", as it should be, for my girls emotional and educational development, especially since you have been only open five years. Talk about impressive. I cannot say enough glowing things about your school. I am one happy momma! I am so thankful that I stumbled upon your establishment because I have peace of mind that my girls are getting the very best start in their education. I only wish that we could attend Kindergarten there too. A big thank you to your welcoming, friendly staff and teachers. I think you are doing a fantastic job. I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into helping guide our youngest to becoming the very best they can be. Thanks again!

Our son started at the Goddard School (this location) in March 2016. We toured several daycares (first-time parent syndrome) and the feeling we got from this school was unmatched by any other. First thing we noticed was how clean, welcoming and friendly the whole place is. Next, we were so welcomed by the owners, Travis and Brooke, who are always at the facility and genuinely care about the children and their parents. Then we met our teachers who have HEARTS OF GOLD! Ive always heard that daycares experience a ton of turnover with teachers, but the Goddard school has not been that way at all. We have had 3-4 different teachers since we started but they are all still at the Goddard school. Some received well deserved promotions, others have moved rooms and each time a new teacher has rotated in I was nervous because I loved the previous teacher so much - but it didnt matter because I end up loving each new teacher! I am so grateful for all of the things the Goddard school does for my child and I know he is in the best hands when I drop him off. If you are looking for a daycare, do yourself a favor and tour this place, you wont regret it!!
