Our son began his journey at The Goddard School when he was just 8 weeks old, and from the very first moment we entrusted him to the teachers in the infant room, we felt an overwhelming sense of confidence and trust. It’s clear that the staff at Goddard not only care for our son, but they truly love him. Knowing that he was in such capable, compassionate hands was crucial for us, especially since we had to enroll him at such a young age. The facility itself is always clean, well-organized, and incredibly safe, but what truly sets The Goddard School apart is the exceptional care provided by the teachers. Mrs. Lauren and Mrs. Nathalia, in particular, are the epitome of patience, kindness, and warmth. You can see it in everything they do—their genuine affection for the infants in their care is palpable, and it has given us complete peace of mind. The staff is also incredible about keeping up with their app, called Tadpoles, which they provide photos throughout the day and updates to his sleep schedule, diaper changes and feedings. Even though I am not there with him physically, I feel like I have a sense of what went on during his day-to-day which I LOVE!! You can also make notes on the app before drop off so the staff knows exactly what time he was fed last, it's the best. Thank you, Goddard School!!!

Amazing school with Amazing Staff and Admin and people I am so happy to be apart of this amazing community and school my son is thriving and learning so much thank you all for what you do! Ms Nicole Is an amazing person she needs a raise and so does Ms Tammy! Amazing People! Love this community!so happy to be here!

My son is very happy here and the personnelI are always sweet. My only concern is the food quality of the snacks provided throughout the day.

My child has attended the Goddard school for about a year and a half now, having started in the 1’s class and is now 2.5yrs. So we have experienced many classrooms and teachers as he moved through the classes and age groups, all have which been incredible and he has learned so much it’s truly impressive. I am so pleased with the Goddard school and look forward to enrolling our next child on the way.

We have been a part of Goddard school for a little over a year, and there hasn't been a dull day. The teachers here are godsend! The amount of love and care they have for our children and the confidence they have instilled in them is commendable. Ms. Tammy and Ms. Nicole are the heart and soul of this school. There isn't a kid in school that Ms. Nicole doesn't know by their name, truly impressive!! Ms. Raegan, Ms. Ashlie, Ms. Bee were such a crucial part of my child's first year at Goddard :) Excited to have Ms. Holly and Ms. Maylen this year and cannot wait to see all the wonderful things this year will bring to us!!

We love Goddard! The staff is amazing - wonderful administrators and staff. People like Nichole, Fayth, Bee, Tammy, Lauren, and Mary make it a great place that the kids love. We couldn’t ask for better care for our children. They come home clean and happy! We love Ms. Nichole! Every day when we get to school, our son goes looking for her to give her the biggest hug! Ms. Nichole greets every child by name when they walk in and shows the kids so much love.

We have absolutely loved sending our daughter to the Goddard school in St. Augustine and would recommend it to any of our friends and family. We’ve been sending our daughter to the school since she was a little under a year old, and now going on 2.5 she has grown and learned so much. The school is clean, the staff is respectful and the teachers are passionate about teaching and enriching the kids lives!

While their teachers are amazing, the owner is lucky they have kept the rockstar teachers he has. It is very prevalent that the school is for profit. Not what our experience has been in other Goddards around the US. You'll never meet or see the owner -- he tends to hide from all the parents. Do your research, loads of schools in the immediate radius include lunches, sports and STEM programs in their tuition. This school nickels and dimes for every single additional item. There is no additional languages taught or offered(unlike every other school in the area), but fear not a clown or animal wrangler is sometimes hired. The teachers deserve a raise for doing what they can with what little they are provided. The owner needs to seriously start reinvesting his profits into his staff and school supplies. If you need reliable team to watch your kids, you got it. However, if you want an education-driven environment where teachers are fully supported and children's needs are prioritized from the top down, this may not be the right choice. They are at full capacity from the flux of new families, not because it's highly sought after. We LOVED Megan, Reagen, Tammy, Lesley, Ashley, Colleen. This review is NOT a reflection of a single teacher in this school, nor other Goddards in the area as they are all privately franchised. I typically would not leave a review -- but as a parent I wish I knew some of these things before we started.

We agree with the poster who shared the class size has increased from when our child first started as well. It’s very concerning to see the hardworking preschool/vpk teachers trying to manage so many kids, at various times only one teacher present including during drop off/pick up. We’ve noticed the noise levels have increased in the classroom and several kids competing for the lone teacher’s attention. The ratio often seems off. It’s a great school, just need more awesome staff. A group of us are monitoring the situation and will have to make tough choices if this is not addressed.
