The teachers and administrative staff are so friendly and attentive. They all go above and beyond to make sure as parents we are comfortable and taken care of, however, most of all they are all excellent with the kids. They great every child with a smile, and provide safe, friendly, confidence inspiring learning experiences

Every teacher and admin knows my child by name. There are always positive vibes when arriving to the school. The teachers are so professional, always composed and child-focused even when the kids are having hard days. I appreciate the extra activities and celebrations to mark holidays, seasons, etc. The security and structure provide so much peace of mind. All around excellent. Thank you!

Preschool Classroom

We have loved the Goddard School of North Bethesda for our 2 daughters over the last 2 years, and have seen them grow and learn more than we thought was possible over that time. I know that they're loved and well taken care of, learning in a fun environment, and that the teachers and administrators put a lot of care and thought into developing all of the systems, spaces, programming and curriculum for them and all of the kids who attend.
