"I am overjoyed with the care and dedication to learning at this school! It is truly a treat to have my child attending this school. I wouldn't have her anywhere else. From the moment you walk in the door you feel their attentive care as the Director, Ryan, office assistant Courtney and Executive Director, Hasna, greet each family intimately knowing every student and parent by name. My child was a more mature Toddler and I had interest in her being placed in the preschool over the Todd class to keep her challenged. Upon our tour of Goddard Waldorf these fantastic ladies took time to meet me and my child and took us to every class that fit her age/skills and watched her interact until they found the right class for her. This was HUGE to me. It means they cared about placing my daughter in the right class for her to properly grow and for the other children to flourish as well, making sure she matched their class constructive interaction. You will not find a better dynamic duo in the childcare development industry than these women. Their dedication to learning is paramount! It is no different with the teachers. Goddard holds a high standard for selecting teachers who genuinely love what they do. While I was touring other child care facilities in the area, I walked into a lot of rooms and was immediately turned off because you could tell the instructors were just collecting a paycheck and truly did not have an interest in child development. Upon my tour of the Goddard School Waldorf, I knew my little one who was in good hands. I met all the instructors, and they are all trained, experienced, and dedicated to child development as a career choice- they are doing what they love. In turn, you get happy kids. My daughter wakes up and ASK me to go to school. Ms. Danielle, Ms. Kendra and Ms. Lydia are part of the family now. My child runs to embrace them with hugs and smiles. They also use this cool tool- the Tadpoles app- to send important messages, pictures, and videos of your little one during the day so you can see what they are up to. Our first week of school, I had to fly out for work, and I was able to see snapshots of my child so I didn't miss out on her school experience. If you care about your children being in a great school with phenomenal leaders- you should definitely enroll in Goddard Waldorf!"
