My daughter, presently 3 1/2 years old, has been at this Goddard School since she was a baby. Given we were new parents, my husband and I wrestled over what child care setting would be best for her. We couldn't be happier with our choice. The teachers and staff are very professional and are wonderful with the kids. One thing we noticed when we toured the place prior to choosing it was that, in every classroom, kids were being read to, and on every wall, artwork was proudly displayed amid bright signs and decor. It did not have the austere, sterile feeling of some daycares/schools--it was lively and happy. It continues to be lively and happy. There are constant learning activities, projects, art, play... and most importantly my daughter has been happy there. I remember one morning when I was dropping her off, she ran into two of her former teachers as we made our way to her classroom, each of whom brightly said hello to her. She turned to me and said, "I love school." Nothing makes a parent happier than knowing your child is safe, happy, and loved. And we have definitely gotten that here at the Goddard School.

We brought home our son at 18 months from abroad (adoption) and we were incredibly nervous about using daycare after our 3 month FMLA ran out. When we were hunting around we talked about language delays and the fact that he'd have had very little exposure to English before starting school. While most places expressed some reservations about this, Goddard took it completely in stride. He's been there two years now and he's not only caught up, but has surpassed many of his non-Goddard peers! The curriculum they follow and individual attention has been phenomenal. When we pick him up it seems like every teacher knows him (and all the other kids) by name even if he hasn't had them yet. The front desk is always courteous and professional, and the admin staff has their kids there as well. So they're very much in tune with what issues are before they become a problem. My wife and I both regularly comment about how happy we are to have our son at such an incredible place.

My child has been to the school for almost 2 months. Initially, my child had strong "sudden separation" shock because this is his first time to leave mummy and dad for whole day. The school's teachers tried all sorts of means to help my son to feel more comfortable when staying at the school. The teachers tried to squeeze their busy timetable to meet my son's special requirements such as holding him on lap during lunch time. So far, my son had made progress in overcoming the separation shock, and I appreciate very much the efforts of the school's teachers.

My son is having some trouble adjusting to full day pre-k, after being in an in-home daycare setting for 4 years. His teachers, Ms. Sandra and Mr. Hashim have made him feel so special and so welcome. They've been instrumental in making his sad mornings much easier. In terms of academics, he’s excited to share what he is learning and has been practicing his letters and numbers every night. He does his “homework” while his 8 year old sister does hers and he’s so proud of himself!

The quality of education offered and the variety of stuff kids are exposed to is something that we highly appreciate...they are truly experts in instilling the love for learning in kids! The teachers & administrators are simply awesome. Our son loves Goddard and asks me on holidays & weekends "Can I go to school today?"...what else can I say? :-)
