Frederick 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’ve never experienced such an amazing place for children to thrive! The currículum combined with the amount of emotional intelligence that’s specific to your individual child is phenomenal. I love this school!

    Diligent's Mother

    Pre-K Classroom

  • The teachers and the communication with parents is amazing. The attention and education given to the students is even better. My daughter is able to learn many things in different ways and apply it to day to day activities.

    Zoey & Savan's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • We have been at this school since 2016 between our kids and both have had wonderful experiences. Teacher tenure is quite long for the industry, which is very impressive.

  • Such great hands on teachers and staff! The daily reports and pictures are absolutely amazing! You can tell everyone at The Goddard School goes above and beyond! Amazing experience

    Kai's Father

    Preschool Classroom

  • We love Goddard (Frederick - yellow springs). This school is superior to all other local schools. The teachers are dedicated and caring. The management takes care of their employees so there is less turn-over. Leadership is accessible and transparent to families / parents. The facilities are clean, modernized and safe/secure. The curriculum is top-notch. My 4-year-old is already reading and can write his name. Goddard is the best!

    Brooke & Benjamin's Mother

    Goddard Graduate

  • Exceptional curriculum and learning environment, patience, warm and positive can-do attitude of the staff and teachers, clean and thoughtfully organized classrooms, including a culture of excellence instilled into the children at such an early age. Thanks for all you do!

    Edikan (Eddie)'s Father

    Goddard Graduate

  • Excellent service and care for children. Everyone is patient and understanding, proactive and solution-oriented.

    Lucile & Analisa's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • The school curriculum is engaging that is to say the kids learn and not only play and sleep. My two years old knows all the letters of the alphabet, all his shapes, colors, counts from 1-30. The teachers are friendly and involved with the kids. I also like the staffing ratio.

    Dawson & Chloe & Cody's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • I like all the teachers, the director and the owner. They really care the kids, are easy to communicate and willing to take suggestions from parents. Also, my kid learned a lot from schools and made good friends here.

    Nolan's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • Connie has grown so much, teachers are fantastic and she loves coming in everyday. Also they have made potty training a breeze! Teachers, staff and Director genuinely care for your children, I feel reassured they are well taken care of everyday

    Constance & Penelope's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • We love Goddard! Jennifer and Jessica are excellent leaders. All of the teachers are experienced, organized, and patient. They care for our daughter as if she were their own. We feel so lucky to have Goddard nearby.
