GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

Our kids have been exposed to so many topics and love learning! The curriculum is always making things fun with themes the kids can get excited about. Staff & teacher turnover is really low compared with other preschools in the area. And most of all teachers really get to know each child and truly cares about them.

What Teachers Mean to Me

Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!
