We have been a part of the Goddard family since my son was about 3 1/2 months old. They have exceeded our expectations over the past 5 years. The teachers have ALL been very comitted and dedicated to the children and are a great representation of The Goddard School. The cirriculum is great and exceeds what they should be learning at his age. He always surprises us with something new that he learned. There is also time for one on one learning if your child is struggling with something in particular. The classroom sizes are perfect so that the children can learn without feeling left out. Everyone is included in classroom activities. The teachers genuinely love the children and want to see them succeed as much as the parents. We truly appreciate that! Everyone is very accomadating with personal requests as far as food/skin allergies or specific snacks, lunches etc that we send for our child to eat. Although I always send my child with own lunch, the lunch menu is healthy and even includes vegetarian selections. They promote healthy foods and even send newsletters home to help the parents pick out healthy foods and snacks. They also have alot of extra cirricular activities, such as playball, movies on the lawn, parents night out, etc. Robin, the owner, is very approachable and accomadating with unique situations. She is very much involved with the care and education of the children. She is always accessible and is always on top of everything. Everyone on staff in the office(managers, directors, etc) are always pleasant and very approachable also. I would recommend this school to any parent. My son will be ready for public school next year and we are thankful we had the opportunity to give him a great head start in life! You cannot put a price on a piece of mind. Thank you Goddard!

We have been a member of the Goddard family since 2008. From the first day we dropped our 5 month old daughter off until she graduated Pre K this year and as our son began, Goddard has exceeded our expectations. The staff truly cares for our children and loves them. Each morning as we dropped off our children they were greeted with a hug from caring teachers. And some days our children didnt want to leave in the afternoons which to us was another indicator of how much they enjoyed being at school. Knowing that we was leaving our little ones with highly qualified teachers was crucial when we began looking for daycare options for our children. However, just as important to us was finding an environment that our children would be safe and feel loved everyday. The security put in place to ensure the safety of our children was superior. The facilities at Goddard are kept clean and up to date. The fact that they have a gym was an added bonus especially for those rainy days. We also appreciated the fact that Goddards curriculum allowed our children to experience science, art, music, and Spanish in addition to the regular classroom curriculum. Through the guidance of the wonderful teachers my two little ones have learned more than just their abcs, colors, and shapes. They have learned to be loving friends and helpful classmates. These lessons mean so much to us as a parents. Learning through play has allowed my children to develop a love of learning which I hope stays with them as they enter elementary school. We have enjoyed being a member of the Goddard family and would recommend them to others looking for a high quality education with a loving environment for their infants and beyond.

My wife, my daughter, and I LOVE the Goddard School. My wife and I both work, and we needed a daycare that would do more than "babysit". Goddard has been a splendid solution. Goddard is explicit in explaining their educational philosophy of learning through play. There are other philosophies out there, to be sure, but this philosophy happens to echo our attitudes as parents, as it develops problem-solving as a generic tool for self-education throughout life and for functioning well in society. Goddard has curricula for several levels of intellectual, physical, and social development (not necessarily age groups or school years) that are structured around the learning-through-play concept. My daughter is 3 years old, has been here 2 years, and is thriving; she loves having this school as part of her life (a major source of comfort in a 2-career household). While weve not compared with other locations, this particular Goddard has impressed us with their attention to quality. ALL of the teachers here are career educators and consummate professionals who are well-educated in child care and early-age teaching; no part-time babysitters here. Minimal turnover among these teachers... most have been there for many years. Every room is kept clean, and students are involved in maintaining that cleanliness as an educational staple. If you consider this Goddard location, ask about the GASSO program for awarding scholarships for children in pre-K and above.

Our (now) 6 year-old son began attending The Goddard School on Old Atlanta Road when he was 12 weeks old, and remained there through private Kindergarten. Our 3 year-old daughter is currently attending and also began when she was 12 weeks old. The entire staff at Goddard is wonderful and have watched our kids grow. When our son visits the school to pick up his sister or to attend Parents Night Out, the staff knows him and are genuinely interested when they ask how he is doing. The school curriculum is of the highest standards and has definitely helped our children excel in learning. The school is up to date on technology. For example, every teacher has an iPad to check in each child at drop-off and check out at pick-up. Each parent gets a daily email with a custom picture of their child and a detailed report of what they did that day. When our son was young he was a picky eater, so it was helpful to know if he ate all, some, or none of his lunch that day and how long he napped (if at all). There is also a good selection of extra-curricular, onsite activities to enroll in... gymnastics, play ball, ballet, soccer, etc., and our kids have loved them all. We have loved entrusting Goddard to care for our children and highly recommend them.

I currently have two children enrolled at the Goddard school and truly believe that this school is the very best in the area. We have been through other schools in the area and while they were good, I did not realize just how much more my children’s experience could be enhanced until enrollment in Goddard. From the owner, to the directors, to the teachers, every person is committed to the safety of our children as well as providing them with the early educational experience that is instilling a lifetime love of learning. They build this foundation with age appropriate curriculum and a variety of teaching methods and tools that are not only fun but also well balanced and focused. The staff at Goddard is loving, kind, and compassionate and they give the very, very best to my children every day. The decision to enroll your children in an early education school is a very big deal and if you are looking for the very best, you have to take a tour of Goddard and see for yourself!

Our oldest has been at Goddard for a little over 2 years and is now in the private Kindergarten class there. Our youngest has been there since he was 4 months old. We have had such great experiences in all of the classrooms our boys have been in and would recommend them to anyone! Our oldest son has grown up and learned so much in the pre-K and Kindergarten classes! We are amazed every day by all of the things he is learning. The small class size is something we would never be able to get in the public setting. I just wish Goddard had more private grade levels so he could continue there! Our youngest has received wonderful care and attention since his first day there. We are sad every time he has to move up because he is leaving behind such amazing teachers, but the next rooms teachers are just as wonderful! The front office staff is also incredible, always making sure that our questions are answered and that we are happy with the care our children receive.
