Goddard in Gaithersburg is one of the best. The educational component starts at as early an age as you'd like, and the care is second to none.
Goddard has an excellent program, but Jim and Jill Worley, the owners, are exacting in their standards. Their school has the highest quality ratings in the entire franchise system. They're well ahead of the program. Their hires are equally dedicated to the kids, or they don't last. We've become very connected to the teachers, developing relationships that go beyond her classroom years. They are, simply, amazing.
Not only have we been woven into my daughter's Goddard experience, but she has transformed into a confident, smart, fearless little girl, who at the end of the Goddard pre-kindergarten year tests well into the first grade. Although she's repeating kindergarten in elementary school (missed the cutoff date), we're working with the first-grade summer homework.
I can't say enough about the Worleys and the staff. The kids literally skip and run to get to class in the morning - every morning. Every evening is a struggle to get them to leave. They see Mr. Worley or Ms. Braden (Assistant Director) or Ms. Kramer (Director), and they tear away from you to run and give them a hug. The administators know every child by name and know personal things about them (and you!) - an amazing thing for a school with hundreds of children they don't spend regular time with. It's an amazing place with amazing people.
