Herndon (Dulles) 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.

  • We absolutely love The Goddard School. The front office staff and teachers are all amazing. Everyone feels like an extension of our family. I wouldn't trust leaving my children with anyone else. The family events (spring fling, fall fest, etc.) and Parents Night Out are an added bonus that bring joy to our family. Both of our children are so happy here and we see the memories and growth they are making every day. Thank you!
