Friendly and understanding staff, awesome and comforting teachers. Our daughter also loves school and they’ve helped the transition so much.

Sophie 's Mother

Toddler Classroom

The Goddard ONW teachers and staff go above and beyond in their care. The school is consistently clean. The staff are professional, friendly, and dedicated to providing an environment for children to learn, build relationships and have fun! The Goddard School has prepared my children for next level learning and success. Thank you!

Ayla & Pierce & Reese's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

I have the opportunity to be in many preschool centers in the area & this one by far exceeds the others. The teachers are great, everyone knows my daughter’s name & the admin is always thinking of new and fun activities for kids. There’s high admin-parent collaboration which I think makes a positive impact on the school as a whole.

Parker's Mother

Toddler Classroom

The staff is nurturing, patient, and truly attentive to each child’s needs. I’ve seen how they create a safe, structured environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. Knowing our child is safe, happy, and learning makes all the difference.

Eleanor's Mother

Hudson & Harper & Sophie's Mother

August's Father

Pre-K Classroom

My child’s success, not just in his education, but also in his emotional development, social skills, and love for learning. It means so much to me to be able to leave my child with them and know that he will be safe and loved.

Jaxson's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Our Goddard School team has been great - they assisted us through a transition from our previous daycare that happened rather suddenly and ensured that move was as easy as possible for us and our child. They work with us through challenges like boundary-testing behaviors, etc. to find a solution that best helps our child succeed and learn. We are so appreciative of Ms. Sarah, Ms. Kim, Mr. Nathan, and Ms. Martina. They've been great help!
