The NASA Goddard Child Development Center is an exceptional preschool program. The teachers are skilled, patient and kind and every aspect of the program, from age-appropriate STEM and arts activities to field trips, is designed to help each child thrive. By the time they finish, the students can often blend letter sounds, read short words and do basic addition and substraction, all learned in a fun setting. We were there for three years and my daughter was well-prepared for kindergarten by the time she finished. I feel so fortunate that we were able to send her to such a solid early education program.
