GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

LITERALLY THE BEST SCHOOL. I am so impressed with Danielle, the owner and all of her stuff. It takes a lot for me to let anybody else watch my child or teach my child but every day when I drop him off I know he is 100% safe and I can focus on my workday while I am away so many extra fun activities. I’ve already enrolled my other child to start in a year and a half once he has three.

The directors and the teachers are FANTASTIC and my kids love going every day. We feel that they are safe and loved when they’re in the care of TGS.

Toddler Classroom
We love the care and education our children receive at the Goddard. It is truly top notch. Things that we love most are the school’s diversity, curriculum, daily reports and pictures via the tadpole app, the activities provided for the kids, and management of running a safe center in the midst of this horrible pandemic. The Goddard Mechanicsville is provides exceptional care. We are very satisfied with Goddard and recommend it’s service to all parents looking for childcare.
