We absolutely love this school. The administrators are always helpful and truly care for your child and their wellbeing.

Jessica · 5/5 on Google · 3 months agoGreat school great staff!!! I would choose Goddard again and again if I had more kids. I only wish I had enrolled my child sooner instead of putting her two different Montessori schools. We will definitely miss Goddard and the staff when she ages out of the programs.
Sandra Rios · 5/5 on Google · 3 weeks agoWe love Goddard LR! Our daughter’s been going here since she’s 1.5 and has been thriving. The teachers and staff are so caring and welcoming. They do so much for the kids like hosting fun events throughout summer and major holidays, having book fairs, and decorating the reception every week. We also noticed a big improvement in her speech, interpersonal skills, reading and more.
Katlyn Tran · 5/5 on Google · 7 months agoBoth of my kids attend this school, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff does an amazing job of making the children feel comfortable, safe, and supported. They do a wonderful job preparing the kids for preschool, and there’s a strong sense of community that really sets this school apart. I would highly recommend it to any parent who may feel uneasy about placing their children in daycare.
