I remember the first day I met Cathi, (the Owner), it was that hectic time right before Christmas, not the kind of time you have to be interviewing nannies and in home daycare providers. That was three years ago, when Ava was four months old, and although we had placed her with a family friend who had her own in home facility, Ava wasn?t thriving. Many days I would pick up and drop off, only to find her in the same exersaucer. She was being cared for but not to the level that she deserved. \r
\r
Cathi assisted me immediately, she made changes within her organization to make it work. After, the first week of attending the Noblesville Goddard School, my husband said that the children will never go anywhere else. Peace of mind was a biggie for us. Ava was engaged in activities instead of placed in front of a television. \r
\r
My husband and I have always agreed that the benefits of the Goddard School outweigh out of pocket costs. The projects and experiences Ava has been involved in at Noblesville Goddard cannot be replicated in my home, via mommy or nanny. I know, I?ve tried.\r
\r
Noblesville Goddard, is not just a pre-school, it?s a community. My husband and I are transplants to the area. Cathi was on call throughout my pregnancy with Ava?s twin sisters. Cathi and her staff have served as valuable resources when handling with childhood behavioral issues as well. \r

How many toys are laying around your house not being played with? What return do you get on those kind of investments? I knew I made the right decision when my grandfather said, ?That must be some daycare Ava goes too!? The man doesn?t pass out compliments. My stepmother said, ?You are spoiling her wisely.? I have a wonderful family that unfortunately all live far away but my Goddard family is a close second.\r
