The Goddard School

A little over a year ago, my wife and I were searching for a place that could get my high-energy child ready for Kindergarten. After going to a few places, we came upon the Goddard school when we went to the annual home show at UW-Parkside. The owner, Sarah, and one other staff member were there and told me that the school was newly built and getting ready to accept applicants to attend. They told us all about what The Goddard School, and we liked what we saw and heard.

We scheduled an appointment to come in for a tour, and within a week, we had him registered for the Fall of 2015. He was so excited to be in a school, just like his big brother was, and every day that went by thru the summer, he would ask if it was time to start school, and would be sad when we told him it didn't start till September. What really hooked us, though, was during the appointment the...

We send our 3 1/2 year old daughter and 18 month old twin boys to Goddard. We were immediately amazed by the curriculum, and speed at which our children were learning. After the first day of school, my daughter came home singing a song, reciting the months of the year. By the end of the week, my 18 month old twin boys were lining up to wash their hands after dinner. At Goddard, they employ a number of creative methods and different resources, to ensure the children are both learning and having fun. Even during inclement weather, they find creative indoor activities to keep the children active during play time, such as a 'bear hunt'. It's obvious that they put a lot of time in outside the classroom, to develop the program. We pay more than some of the other options we looked at for schooling, but I feel like they put everything back into the school, and that we are getting a...

As a first time mother, and an Italian over protective one at that, I was hesitant to send my child to ANY school. Sending him at the age of 1.5yrs old was rough for everyone around me. The teachers, staff and Sarah the owner made me feel so comfortable and walked me through each day. My child is now 3 and has grown to love school so much and so have we! We couldn't be more thankful to the wonderful people involved in this school and for all they are teaching him. Goddard school is just that, a real school, not just a day care. They learn from the minute they are enrolled no matter what age! I would HIGHLY recommend this school to any parents looking for the very best care for their children! Thank you Sarah and your staff for making this transition a smooth one for all of us! We truly LOVE you all!
