Clarksburg Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • I enjoy the individualized and unique instruction each child receives at the Goddard School. The teachers really take the time to get to know your child and encourage them to be the best they can be. The Goddard School has been a pillar of excellence in early education for my daughter!

  • Everything. I have never been so confident in a childcare facility. Our kids are thrilled to go to school, absolutely love their teachers and are challenged by a strong curriculum. The peace of mind that comes with both loving and trusting those caring for our kids is worth everything!

  • I love everything about Goddard. From the teachers, communication, curriculum, and overall feeling of the school. It was a difficult decision to send our son back to daycare during a pandemic, but it has been so well handled during Covid times. The school takes every single precaution, and the communication is outstanding. I am beyond grateful to Goddard and the amazing people who work there. Thank you.

  • Great School! We can't say enough about The Goddard School in Clarksburg! From the owners to the administrative staff to each teacher and assistant; we've found the school to be incredibly well run and a loving and enriching environment for our 3 1/2 year old Son. The school takes child development seriously and does it through a fun, play based curriculum that kept our child excited and engaged each day. Soon my daughter 20 months will be joining with her brother!
