I DO NOT RECOMMEND EVEN CONSIDERING THIS FACILITY (Goddard School of Wall). After appropriately scheduling a tour and setting aside time out of my work schedule to visit the school, I was halted at the door, rudely denied a handshake and spoken to in such a condescending manner by the owner Scott. He said we know who you are, you are with Lightbridge Academy and we don’t want you coming into our school. He went on to say that he knew what my intentions were, I was apparently at his facility last year and he doesn’t want any part of me even stepping foot inside. After being completely taken back by this mistaken identity, I went on to defend who i really was (a local mom, with 2 kids, interested in his school), but it didn’t matter and he wouldn’t even let me get a word in otherwise. He told me he came to his conclusions from the research he did on Facebook and made it known to me that he was convinced I was this person. I’ve never been more confused by this type of treatment in my life. My intentions were to simply tour the school. After leaving I called the center to get more of an explanation on this encounter and Scott continued to claim that I was this supposed person he’d done his elaborate Facebook research on and hung up the phone on me. I’ve never been so rudely mistaken in all my life. It’s horrifying that he’s in charge of running a school of impressionable children. He clearly got the wrong impression of me and my family. PS. In order to Post the review on google i had to activate a star. If i had an option there would have been no stars highlighted.

I cant compare Goddard to any other daycare, because I have never needed to look elsewhere. Still, I am confident that they provide exceptional service to the others. I absolutely love this place and so does my son. Its amazing how well they combine learning, fun, and love. I am continuously impressed with the lessons he brings home each day he attends. They even provide a daily summary and photos each day of attendance so you can feel involved in what they are accomplishing while they are there. I also like to ask him about specific things he did that day, like dancing with a regular visitor, their friend Mr. Scott the music man...or how much he enjoyed having a class visit from a real pirate. :) They are encouraged to be caring, creative, intelligent, and polite, while following a structured, carefully planned program each day. He has been going for the last 2 + years and each teacher along the way has been incredible. Miss Samantha, the director, is truly talented in personally welcoming and accommodating such a large pool of students and parents, and ensuring safety and fun for all, down to dietary needs and allergies for each child and maintaining secure buildings. I will truly be sad when the time comes to move on and will never forget the experience my family has had here!! xoxo Jessica & Jameson

Goddard is the ONLY school that offered me exactly what I wanted and needed for my daughter. I felt safe knowing that the teachers are also parents themselves. They work with your schedule and offer extended hours that are very convenient. My daughter is graduating kindergarten from Goddard this June, and I will miss having the school be a part of our daily routine!

My son started here in 2012 at 1 and my daughter started in 2015 at 6 months old. This place is fantastic. Ive loved every classroom and teacher Ive encountered thus far and the director Samantha is amazing. I recommend this place to anyone who will listen!!!
