We know our son is safe and being cared for so well by his teachers and staff. We are so happy to be a part of Goddard and highly recommend Goddard to any parents looking for a day care that will provide total peace of mind to parents and a great place to grow and learn for their children. ----- Author: Nikki Aguilar Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/21/2024, 1:54:38 AM Review: We could not be more pleased with our children's’ progress at the Goddard School of Ponte Vedra. The staff is exceptional. From the front office to the teachers, each takes great pride, thought and care in making this a safe, loving environment where the students thrive. ----- Author: Ginny Sanborn Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/12/2024, 2:54:22 PM Review: While we’ve only been at Goddard for a little while, it already feels like home. Our almost two-year old is thriving there. The teachers are all so warm and loving, the facility is clean and safe, and there’s a true sense of structure and organization that gives us peace of mind. We love Goddard! ----- Author: Catherine McCafferty Rating: 5/5 Date: 4/21/2024, 2:10:45 PM Review: We have been with Goddard PVB since 2019 and have had the absolute best experience! When touring the facility, the administrative staff went above and beyond, answering any questions we had. As a busy mom to four children, enrollment was easy and communication throughout the years with classroom transitions or upcoming events has been and continues to be top notch. The front office goes out of their way to send me reminders, take the time to make sure I don’t miss something important, and happily assist me if I’ve forgotten a lunch or need to make last minute changes with my child’s pickup. The resource and classroom teachers mirror the same high-level care and commitment to my family as the front office. My children have loved each of their teachers and seeing the level of education and care these teachers have put forth has been impressive. Communication with each of the teachers has always been easy; if I have any questions, they offer helpful solutions or work alongside me to make sure what we are working on at home is reinforced while my children are at Goddard. The facility and classrooms always have a safe and nurturing environment; my children walk in happy and leave happy! The families we have met throughout the years here at Goddard have been so friendly and kind; it’s also where my kids have made their now closest friends! Having my three older children now at PVPV/Rawlings after going to Goddard, it has been incredible to see how well-prepared they were entering elementary school, both academically and socially! ----- Author: Danielle Dawkins Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/7/2024, 3:35:37 PM Review: As parents of two little ones who attend this Goddard location we could not be more pleased. From the owner down through all levels of staff there is genuine care for the children. The center is clean and organized. Communication is great. We feel our children are safe here and in the best learning environment around. Several teachers (Ms. Andrea, Ms. Emma, Ms. Erin, Ms. Krista, and Ms. Shelly) are all wonderful and have developed nurturing relationships with our children. Additionally, Ms. Marisa is a great director. This is our village and we couldn’t recommend this school more! ----- Author: Kara Terwilliger Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/4/2024, 11:10:04 PM Review: As a parent, ensuring that your child is in a safe and nurturing environment is paramount. That's why I couldn't be happier with my experience at Goddard's VPK program. Both of my children have attended, and the teachers have been nothing but kind, caring, and attentive to detail. The reports and photos we receive after each school day give me peace of mind, knowing my children are learning important life skills and are being taken care of. If you're looking for a pre-school environment that prioritizes your child's needs, I highly recommend Goddard's VPK program. ----- Author: Christopher Dovel Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/4/2024, 8:57:45 PM Review: I can confidently say that the preschool I have chosen for my children, has some of the best teachers and staff I have ever encountered. From the moment we walked in for a tour with our first son in 2020, we were greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. This positive first impression has only continued to grow as we have been a part of this preschool community. The teachers at this preschool are truly dedicated and passionate about their work. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience in early childhood education, and it shows in the way they interact with the children. They create a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages learning and growth. My two boys come home every day excited to share all the new things they have learned from their teachers. What sets this preschool apart from others is the genuine care and love the teachers and staff have for the children. They take the time to get to know each child and their individual needs, which is evident in the way they tailor their teaching methods. I have seen my children flourish under their guidance and I am forever grateful for their dedication. Not only are the teachers exceptional, but the rest of the staff is equally amazing. The administrative staff is always friendly and helpful, making the enrollment and communication process seamless. The facility is always clean and well-maintained. I also appreciate the sense of community that this preschool fosters. The teachers and staff make an effort to involve parents in their child's education through regular communication, parent-teacher conferences, and fun events such as family movie nights and holiday celebrations. It truly feels like a partnership between the school and parents. Overall, I cannot speak highly enough of the teachers and staff at this preschool. They have created a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for my child to learn and grow. I would highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a high-quality education for their child, along with a friendly and supportive community. ----- Author: Milbrey Rowe Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/15/2024, 8:51:00 PM Review: We love Goddard! I’m so thankful we found such an amazing school for our son. He has been thriving since day 1 and has learned more than we could have imagined during his time there. The staff is amazing, the facility is super clean, and I always feel really safe with my little man there. ----- Author: Mel Dovel Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/13/2022, 10:39:47 PM Review: Making a decision on where to send our toddler to school was a hard decision and there is no place we would rather send our son than the Goddard School Ponte Vedra Beach. This school has blown us away in the best way possible. The directors and teachers go above and beyond every single day to make sure the best care and attention is given to every single child. They are proactive and attentive while being caring and compassionate, an imperative combination when it comes to outstanding child care. Every staff member and teacher at the school has treated our son as their own by keeping him safe, cared for, and loved. Most importantly my son simply loves to go to school which shows me that they have created an environment kids are comfortable and can thrive in. We highly recommend the Goddard School Ponte Vedra Beach for the highest quality child care. Sent from my iPhone

We LOVE the Goddard school. One of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. Goddard feels like a home away from home for our children. Our girls have been there since 2022 and in each classroom the teachers have shown a clear love and care for each child and their development. Every time we travel, people are shocked at our 4 year old’s intelligence, communication, respect for others, her understanding of kindness and importance of hygiene, the list goes on. Id love to believe our child is just super special, but I know much of where she is today is due to the nurturing and educating she’s received at Goddard and what we double down on based on what we know she’s learning each week. Additionally, even the faculty outside of the classrooms are very familiar with each child. On a couple (very very few) occasions i forgot something for one of my kids and when I came back and brought it to the front desk, I didn’t even have to tell them what class they were in. I could just say “I forgot abc nap sack” and they would say “I got it”. It shows an attention to detail down to each individual child that gives us the security every parent wants in knowing their children are in the best possible hands while I’m were knee-deep in work. We’re so grateful!
Great facility and wonderful staff members. It’s abundantly clear that the staff members truly care about my daughter. 10/10 recommend.
We've only been with Goddard for a short time, but we absolutely love it so far. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. The teachers are just fantastic. Our child felt comfortable going to the school from day one.
Great people, great experience. If you're fortunate enough to get the opportunity, don't look back.
The facility is top notch. Everyone we have encountered is welcoming and nice. The classroom teachers are knowledgeable and stay in touch via the app for daily communication. Everyday, I am impressed by the consistent cleanliness of the facility from the halls to the classrooms and outside playgrounds.
