I am not a trusting individual so trust me when I say this place is amazing. The staff that takes…read morecare of little ones are amazing trust worthy lovely people. They teach a letter, #, shape, seasons have guest visitors like fire fighters, the market house theater and more. They teach kids manners and how to get along with each other a great stepping stone to get them ready for school. The head teacher is a retired teacher whom is great with kids. The other two ladies are wonderful as well with I believe more teaching in their background as well. I always feel safe and confident when I leave my child in their care. Only 2 days a week for a low monthly fee when you see everything that is included. I highly recommend you look at this school.

The Goddard School is in its own class of amazingness. You definitely get above what you pay for…read more(while the prices are higher than your average daycare, it is well worth it). Do not let the price make your final answer. Perks of Goddard: - Every teacher has a college degree - Your child will be in or around six months of his age, like my daughter is in a 3 - 3 1/2 room and she is almost 3 1/2. This is a huge factor to consider, not only will your child be learning everything they should at this milestone, they will be with there peers in the same age group all day long, you don't get this at any other childcare facility much less public school system setting. This is where your child will grow and thrive because they aren't stuck in a group of kids that range from a few months old to 5. - Structure - i can't say enough about how structure makes a huge attitude adjustment and just a good flow for your kiddo. Having a daily schedule and it being the same is a great routine for anyone even if your 30 or 80! - Nutrition - they have a monthly planner you can get and it will let you know exactly what your kid is eating daily. - Activities - there is a weekly themed activity. I remember one in particular such as learning about fire and what not, and they actually had a firetruck come out for a day for the kiddos to see. - Therapies - If your child has any sort of therapies that need addressed, you can have your own therapist come in at anytime and provide therapy for your child, they usually have a space that they can go to to provide care. These are just what I can think of at the moment! This place is beyond amazing...if you even just tour it you will not want to go anywhere else. If its even within or more than $100 of your budgeted amount...you should cut off a luxury item and give your kid some top notch care. Kuddos to Goddard...I hope I can keep my job long enough to keep my toddler in here until she graduates and goes to kindegarten.

This place is so awesome!! I can't believe I don't have a review on here already, they are so good…read morewith our little Aowyn! the first day there she was still on a bottle and at the end of the day, no joke, I was getting rid of all our bottles and using new sippy cups! Aowyn has been going to Goddard on and off now for the last 3 years and she always seems to develope awesome new skills and such while attending there. There are so many good things I have to say about this school, and oh yes I will go on, But if i miss anything I am truley sorry! lets start with the falcutly, they ROCK!, every morning they are always happy to see us and aowyn is just as excited to see them. I swear during interviews, morning person, must be a requirment! Always friendly and always there to help in anyway possible!! The school is very clean and rooms are always in order. somehow even rooms occupied with kids and the kids playing there isn't a mess to be found! I need to figure out how they do it! the playground and area to play outside seems just like the perfect amount of space and equipment! nothing cluttered, and there is ample amount of room to get the kids stretch out there legs. The price is very affordable, It can seem on the high end, but these are people who actually TEACH your child things, not just have them in their home for the day. I can't put a price on how my little girl is becoming so smart and the hours are awesome, and always open! :)
