My son has been here since they opened and it's been the best learning experience ever. The child focused planned activities challenges him according to his needs and development. Their summer program is outstanding as children are learning about a different country every week. My son comes home with facts about countries I don't even know. The security, the curriculum, easy to understand detailed daily reports, along with the planned goals and activities the teachers set, are exemplary. I get pictures and videos of my son doing amazing activities almost everyday. His class even did research activities using a microscope and various science experiments. I just can't say enough great things about this school. The teachers, the management, the communication with parents are excellent. If you are looking for a preschool for your child, then don't look further. Come to The Goddard School and you'll be glad you did.

I have nothing but the best things to say about this school. My daughter started in the toddler room early last year and now is in one of the preschool class. She's had the best teachers in every class, and she still enjoys seeing them in the hallway. The staff is always happy and smiling and looks like they love working in this school. I always see the same teachers, so their staff turnover is none. The best part is that they don't have substitute teachers, so the extra teachers they hire are always there to go into the classrooms, which makes me feel good since there's no stranger coming in if a teacher is out sick. The curriculum and outstanding learning that goes on is astonishing. I love the daily reports, pictures, vidoes detailing all the lessons and project kids worked on. This helps me stay on top of my child's advancement. Best part is the way their management keeps everyone together, and the whole school running so nicely. Mrs. Shalini is the backbone of the whole school, and the way children run to her in the hallway, or stop by her office to say goodbye shows that even they notice her admiration for the children. She always answers my questions (even on weekends). She truly has a heart of gold. Abbey and Fernando are amazing directors. They are always out and about the school making sure teachers get what they need. I applaud everyone at this school, and I am so happy my child will be a Goddard graduate next year. Also I don't know how they keep it so clean, but this is the cleanest school I've seen.

My daughter attended this school for over a year in the pre-school program and was extremely unhappy. She would cry every day that I brought her there and she hated going to school. She would complain about being hit by other students on multiple occasions. I thought she just wanted to be with 'mommy'. One day after seeing her so unhappy, I just had to try something different. I enrolled her into another school and she became a very happy child. She no longer cried at drop-off, she began looking forward to going to school every day. She no longer complained of other students being mean to her. When we began the new school both her life and my life greatly changed. She is now happy and I am happy and assured the we did the right thing by making the change.

We started our daughter at the Goddard school in May of 2014. Since that time she has flourished in the environment the school has provided. She started in the pre-preschool classes and is now in the Preschool class with Ms Cassie. Skills she has acquired in that time: 1. She knows how to say her alphabet 2. She can recognize 80% of the alphabet 3. She knows about 50% of her alphabet phonics sounds 4. She can count to 30 5. She can draw people showing general anatomy (Face, hands, arms, legs, feet, etc.) 6. She can make new friends easily (She was a little awkward about this before she started school) Our daughter loves her school and her teachers, she runs to them for hugs whenever I bring her in the mornings. The staff is always welcoming and willing to share with us at the end of the day anything that happened during the day that she excelled at or maybe needed more work on. We get daily reports every day of the activities they did in her class as well as a report of what she ate/didn't eat of her lunch. The facility is always very helpful and they respond quickly to any request or concern that we may have. Incredible team and school!

My daughter just started this school 2 months ago and I am amazed by the difference my family sees in her development. Her speech has improved significantly. I am the typical overprotective mom and I visited at least 8 other preschools before choosing Goddard. The touring experiences at other schools were filled with pressure to enroll, and I didn't see any curriculum or quality defined. But when I toured The Goddard School, I could clearly understand the focus of their learning, curriculum, and extracurricular activities. There was no pressure to enroll in the whole 45 minutes of my tour, instead they focused on answering all my questions and making me feel confident in my choice. The moment I stepped out, I knew this was the school for my toddler. I went back and enrolled after 2 days. The owner, Ms. Shalini is very warm, caring, and it shows the positiveness she spreads in the whole school. The management team is very attentive and cooperative. They listen and take every concern seriously, no matter how big or small. I love receiving daily reports and pictures. It truly makes my day to receive them while at work. Both of my child's teachers are so loving, caring and they seem to understand every child's needs. I've spoken to most of the parents in the class and they couldn't be happier with their experience. I usually don't boast any services online, but I am overwhelmed with my daughter's progress, that I felt the need to make my opinions known to all other parents out there. This is truly the safe environment parents look for. They don't allow any visitors to walk-in on their own. The doors are always locked, and parents have to be hand-scanned to get in. After reading some of the other reviews here, I am more confident that this school prioritizes in health & safety and the well being of every child. I am glad to see that they have a policy against aggressive biters. Sadly many other school don't do anything about biting, but I am so happy to know this school takes it seriously. I'll reiterate what the other parent mentioned in her review "you can bring your children here with eyes closed - It's that good"!
