Her teachers provide her with constant love and emotional support during the day. Our baby girl thrives on routine and looks forward to coming to school each day, and sometimes doesn’t want to stop playing when I come pick her up! The administration is quick to resolve parent concerns and are friendly and present when parents need a listening ear or helping hand. Goddard is top tier when it comes to preschools in Oviedo! ----- Author: Heather V Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/6/2022, 11:53:03 AM Review: ♥️🖍I can't say enough good things about the Goddard School. From the beginning of our journey to the last walk down the hall my family has had an amazing journey. The school is safe, modern and clean. The communication with teachers and owner has been wonderful... truly like an extension of family! Class and Summer camp transitions are seamless. And there are so many educational activities including Chess, soccer, water day and on site zoo and martial arts field trips. Our teachers were Ms. Kali, Ms. Cathy and Ms. Amanda. 🖍♥️

We love this school. I had tried two different daycares before coming here and was very anxious about the entire experience. They have made my child very comfortable in class. The twos class “roosters” teachers Ms cece and Ms Meagan are absolute angels. They update us about my child’s day and send fun photos! My child is happy and always running to class in the mornings. I feel very comfortable sending my child there and soon my second child will join the school. The teachers and administrators are very friendly and will let you chat with them about all your concerns and answer all questions in a honest matter. Very thankful to have found this school!

I will forever be grateful to Goddard Oviedo for the positive impact they have made on my child. The trajectory of my child’s growth has skyrocketed since our enrollment in this program and I cannot thank their entire team enough. We were previously enrolled at a different local franchise and due to a litany of growing concerns, transferred them to Goddard. My child’s behavior has improved at home, they no longer cry at school drop-offs (a problem that had persisted the entirety of their enrollment at the other school), and when asked about their day, they enthusiastically respond with “good!” They also speak continuously about how kind their teachers are. I am in awe of the social-emotional growth Goddard has fostered in my child, in addition to continual didactic and experiential learning. Of note, the owner (Mr. Scott) is very involved and genuinely cares about the well-being of the children and functionality of his school. The directors and management are responsive and attentive. Their aptitude with hiring is also important to note. While the majority of the teachers here seem to be long-term employees, the few new team members I’ve met are clearly well-vetted and of high caliber. We have had our second child on a year-long wait list to ensure their enrollment at Goddard. I would encourage any other parent researching childcare programs to strongly consider this school.

We switched our child from a franchise daycare in the area that begins with an “L” to here after 2.5 years at the old place. Comparing the two, Goddard is slightly more expensive and doesn’t have in-room camera access for parents all throughout the day, however, after 4 months here we are experiencing amazing benefits we didn’t know we needed. My child sees the exact same teachers the whole day every day and this allows them to get really close. This equips the teachers to make a more powerful positive impact on our child, modeling manners and problem solving, and nurturing them when something is wrong. When I open the door to pick up my child at the end of the day, the room is calm, joyful, and quiet, whereas at the old place kids were crazy screaming, music was blasting, and the teachers (who we often didn’t recognize) were yelling at the kids or up to their eyeballs in work. My child has to be bribed to leave her new daycare Goddard! I was fearful about not having camera access, however, we still get an app push notifications all throughout the day with photos, chat message from teachers, and videos. The funny thing is, that don’t react with such urgency to the notifications as I did at her old place because I trust Goddard more. I was also a bit worried about the fact that they don’t have a kitchen to make lunch for the kids, however it has been better for me to be able to control my child’s diet by packing her lunch, and the snacks that she has given during the day are filling. During the tour of this new place, they gave me a sample snack menu showing foods like “cucumber and hummus” which really gave me pause, however she’s actually been getting more filling snacks than the sample menu. If you’re considering switching, I highly recommend it.

The teachers and staff here are just the best! I just can't thank them enough for all their love and work with my child. My daughter, graduated from Goddard this past May, and she really misses her teachers and the staff here. She talks about them all the time and made so many great memories here. Every morning, I would drop off my daughter, relieved and knowing that she would be in great hands, with people that will care for her.

Our little girl has been going to Goddard for almost 2 years and we love Goddard. We have had a couple of hiccups, but the school has been incredibly responsive with any of our issues. And that is the most important part of Goddard that we appreciate. Overall, she has had a great experience and loves her teachers. We appreciate all the activities that are offered through the school. We would recommend Goddard to anyone looking for a daycare in the Oviedo area.

3yo room is excellent for social and academic development. Strong communication from administration and great leadership and connection with students from the teachers. Very structured environment, calm, and focused on the students.
