Safe, welcoming, supportive-- amazing staff and outstanding curriculum. Thank you for all that you do for our child (and us)!

As a parent, choosing the right preschool for your child is pivotal. I am thrilled to share our positive experience at The Goddard School, which has exceeded our expectations in fostering our child’s growth in numerous key areas. Social and Emotional Development: Since enrolling, I’ve observed significant strides in my child’s social and emotional development. Initially shy, she now eagerly looks forward to school days The teachers use thoughtful activities that promote sharing, empathy, and self-expression, which helped my child develop strong interpersonal skills and emotional resilience. STEAM Curriculum: The Goddard School’s STEAM curricular is another area where our expectations were surpassed. The hands-on, integrated approach to science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics has sparked a love of learning in my child. For instance, a recent project on simple objects not only taught them the basics of physics but also encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Teachers’ Attention and Discipline: The full attention that teachers give to each child is remarkable. They are adept at recognizing each child’s needs and adapting their approach accordingly, ensuring that no child feels overlooked. This individual attention has been crucial in reinforcing healthy, positive habits and discipline. The structured routine at The Goddard School has taught my child the importance of time management and responsibility, invaluable skills that extend beyond the classroom. Friendliness of Staff and Teachers: The warmth and professionalism of the staff and teachers have been consistently impressive. They are not only approachable and responsive but also genuinely invested in each child’s well-being and development. For example, during daily reports and parent-teacher meetings during pickups, they provide detailed insights into my child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement, demonstrating their commitment and care. Conclusion: Choosing The Goddard School for our child’s early education was one of the best decisions we could have made. The school’s emphasis on social-emotional learning, robust STEAM curriculum, and the exceptional staff have played a crucial role in our child’s development. I highly recommend The Goddard School to any parent looking for a comprehensive, caring, and dynamic educational environment for their child.

Excellent staff and ownership. Our little Goddard Grads loved the school

The staff is incredible! Everyone has been very helpful and friendly. They have assisted with my child transitioning from home to a more structured learning environment. My child is happy and learning. I see positive changes in him when he’s home and evidence of what he is learning. Staff is responsive and provides adequate feedback. I am very happy with the Goddard experience!!

Our son started at Goddard a month ago in pre-K 3 and to say he LOVES it there is an understatement! He has never been more excited to go to school! He says it is because of all the activities he gets to do throughout the day! :) Also, he loves his teachers and his friends! We've noticed such a change in him since he started. (Note that he was at another LWR daycare of the last 3 years.) At Goddard, he comes home super excited to share about his day. He talks continuously about all the things he did, what he did in gym class, what activities he did and what he and his friends did during outside time. We've noticed that his speech has further soared through the roof; he is even more articulate and communicative than he was before; and even more willing to do things on his own b/c Goddard focuses on empowering kids to learn their own capabilities. The staff and directors are friendly and very communicative. They are also very fast with responding to in-app messages and emails. We love the daily updates on the app with what he learned each day along with pictures. Overall, we are extremely happy that our son is at Goddard and only regret that we didn't start him here sooner.

Wonderful staff and great structures of the classrooms. My child loves it.

Totally worth the wait! I am so happy we decided to go with Goddard for our two children and we could not be happier with the teachers, Directors and the Owner who are always very responsive and communicate well with parents about everything. We were with another preschool before our spots opened up at Goddard and the difference is like night and day.

Great staff, great curriculum, dedicated teachers, excellent communication between teachers and parents. Individual approach, safety. Amazing graduation event, I was very impressed. Highly recommend!

The best child care in the Lakewood ranch area! Loving and caring staff, great communication, truly feels like family. We left at one point during a time where we had to adjust our budget, but no other center compares. We came back to Goddard and are soooo thrilled we were able to do so. Amazing quality care!!! So grateful we found this place for our son.
