After many classes, he called my 8 year old a f*^*ing baby. Not someone I want teaching my child or even around my child. Oh, and may I suggest doing a background check on him. It's an eye opener.

Not impressed at all. My son had his first session tonight 4/1 and we were not impressed by the…read moreowner. She was not welcoming at all- no introduction just hands my son his uniform with not even a smile. The instructors were helpful during the session- however being that it was his first time we came unprepared without any water. I went to buy a bottle of water for my son only for the owner to place it on the mat and assume that my son is a mind reader (he's in the middle of his session and is unaware). They get a break and the owner does not even tell him I brought in his water- I had to go and tell her and she still did not tell him he had water to drink. DO NOT bring your kids here- they can care less about your child if they can't even do something as simple as pointing to a bottle of water. This session was only $20 but I wouldn't even pay $0.20 to come again. No thanks I'd rather give my business to someone who would actually care about my kid.

We were not communicated that the child had to be dropped there and parents can't even see them perform at practice. This is such an important piece of information that should have been communicated.

But we were super disappointed and our child was crying end of the day as he was not mentally prepared to be left all alone there. Common white tiger takewondo u can do better

Even with 30+ students in a class, there is still plenty of room to roll 2. Coaches The coaches have all trained under members of the Gracie family. Scott earned his black belt from a Gracie. There are always plenty of coaches and upper-belts on hand. Classes are never cancelled due to a coach being sick, on vacation, at a tournament, etc. 3. Tuition Everyone pays the same. No secret deals, no "because you're you" rates, no bait-and-switch offers. 4. Honest coaches. 5. Have kids? Our head coach is a youth pastor. He's GREAT with kids of all ages. 6. There are 12 adult classes a week to choose from. Muay Thai is available with the unlimited package, not an extra membership.

I was so anxious about putting my child in a daycare/school. The management is superb! The teachers are absolutely incredible! (Ms. Emily and Ms. Kelsey) Even though, there was some transition with teachers throughout the year, they handled it gracefully and let us know every step of the way. And, every time I go in they are welcoming and everyone says hi to my son and knows him by name. It's like a family!

Also the sweetest teacher in his class kindly suggested to us he might need speach therapy and she was right. I'm so glad she helped us get the ball rolling reguarding his speech.

All of her teachers have also been incredibly patient and supportive with potty training, even on the tough days, and that partnership has meant so much to us. We also really value that Goddard keeps their student‑teacher ratios low. You can feel the difference. Our daughter gets real attention, the classrooms stay calm, and she's treated like an individual, not just one more kid in a crowd. The owners and director are hands‑on and truly invested in the kids and the school. Our daughter has absolutely thrived here. She comes home happy, confident, and excited, and there are days she doesn't even want to leave at pickup. The multiple daily photos and videos show just how many fun, engaging activities they do and how much she's learning. We also really appreciate the daily reports which lets us read through the details of the activities and the curriculum which details out what they are doing daily. Most importantly, we trust everyone we have worked and interacted with here at Goddard. We know she's safe, cared for, and growing every day. Finding a place that feels this supportive is rare, and we're genuinely grateful. We can't wait for our second daughter to start once my maternity leave ends.
