Midlothian (Woodlake) 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.

  • Everyone is amazing! They do an amazing job of supporting their teachers and it shows through their ability to be so dedicated to the kids. We have been to a few other preschools in the area and Goddard of Midlothian far exceeds them all! The curriculum has prepared my 5 year old for kindergarten both academically and emotionally. I can’t say thank you enough!

    Pre-K Classroom

  • The staff at the Goddard School Woodlake was extremely flexible with me starting back to work after maternity leave and even last minute took my daughter a few days early full time. Every time we pop in our child is being so well cared for and always seems to have a good time. Most afternoons I even walk in on the staff playing with my child and she had a smile ear to ear.

    Infant Classroom

  • The staff at Goddard Woodlake has treated us like family and loved my child as one of their own from the moment we walked in for a tour. My child LOVES school, loves her teachers and her classmates, and she is learning SO MUCH. The communication between the staff and parents has also been great. We could not have asked for a better preschool experience for our family.
