We have had our son David at the Goddard school since February and this is his first school experience. Throughout our son adjusting to being in a school setting, new friends, new teachers, and a new routine we couldn't have asked for a better school to do it at. The owner Mr. Bill and his wife are the most amazing people & are so kind thoughtful and loving to everyone that come in. The teachers are fantastic too beyond our expectations. In particular we've had the pleasure of working with Ms. Kimmie, Portia, Clarissa, Kalesha, Mali among others and they are the best of the best. So kind and patient with David while he learns boundaries and how to socialize with others. So very communicative with the parents to ensure we are all on the same page. We have the option of sending our son David to a public school for kindergarten but have every intention of keeping him at Goddard until grade school....this place is just THAT good. You really truly don't get any better than Goddard in Middletown. They're more like family.

I'm so grateful I chose the Goddard school for my daughter's pre-k and kindergarten. My daughter learnt so much, and she is still learning!
Her social skills are great now. She is very helpful, and she loves to play in groups. Also she is able to read and write and she is only 4. The teachers are always interacting with the children, I never walked in the classroom and found my child sitting down doing nothing!
The owner and director are always available, I get my child daily activities through tadpoles which includes pictures of her daily achievements with a detailed message of what they studied and special messages if anything happened. Also each month I get the monthly schedule which includes all the events and snacks! I love that all the snacks are healthy and balanced, I never worry about her eating junk at the school. Overall I strongly recommend the Goddard school, and I'm definitely enrolling my second child!

My daughter has attended The Goddard School in Middletown since it opened in October of 2007. The last three years have been wonderful having my daughter enrolled there. She has thoroughly enjoyed all the activities, crafts and curriculum. The teachers in all the different classes have been fun and great to work with."

Our children have greatly benefited from the awesome care and teaching that your staff has given them throughout the years. Your School is definitely the Best.

Best experience I have ever had! I am what you call ,one of the "pickier" mothers. Just to give you an idea, I had switched 7 different schools within a year! Both of my kids have excellent teachers, actual ex- kindergarten teachers. Yes, they are REAL teachers not babysitters! They have worked with them in their weak areas, and I feel that they have really excelled. My just turned 4 year old is already reading and writing basic sentences! I have the option having free childcare at the base, but Goddard is worth every penny

My child is at Goddard and we love it. His teachers are wonderful. Very caring. My son learns a lot. I love seeing his latest sign language word or yoga poise. His favorite is the Spanish teacher.

The owner, assistant directors, and teachers are BEYOND fantastic. The school atmosphere is welcoming, caring and passion for kids is pervasive from room to room and adult to adult.As a parent, I appreciate the policies because they are in place to keep my child healthy and safe. I appreciate the kindness and consideration of the whole staff, including the owner who always have a positive thing to say about my son. I appreciate the diversity of programs offered from yoga to sign language to Spanish to my son who is not quite 2 years old. This school and the teachers AND the owner are nothing short of amazing when it comes to putting the kids first (which as parents - shouldn't our kids well being come first?). They truly are passionate and that is priceless. Any parent considering sending their kids to the Goddard School in Middletown , DE (trust me - not all have this same type of passion) are truly parents who care about their kids care and exposure to education.

This is such a cute little school you walk in and there's a little jungle theme each classrooom is an animal. The little girl I used to nanny for attended there and they took such good care of her. They always had great communication with the nannies and the parents. She learned soo much they even teach the children different languages at 21/2. They make it really fun for the kids. They do little activities like for halloween they had a little pumpkin patch at the playground and had a halloween party. I Highly recommended this school for Quality educationa for your childrens.

Great School!: The owners and staff take great care of the children and listen to the concerns of the parents. All of the children from infant to Pre-K are engaged in learning. If you are not a stay at home parent this is the best place for your child. If you are a stay at home you should think about part time care for the education and stimulation.

I would like to thank the staff and special the owner and director for their love, attention and care they are giving to my son who is 3 year old in a Pre-K class. We moved our son from other school in Middletown and find out that its the best place for our son which meet our need and exceed our expectations.
