The teachers truly have a passion for what they do and it shows. I receive photos of my children, notes and a recap of the day from their teachers on a daily basis. The curriculum is engaging and inspiring for the children - mine are so excited to share the day’s activities when I pick them up! Communication from the teachers and administrative team is excellent and they go above and beyond to make every day a fun and exciting experience from the moment you walk in the door. ----- Author: Lacy Baluta Rating: 5/5 Date: 12/14/2024, 1:12:52 AM Review: We happily switched to Goddard School in Viera as soon as it opened in 2024. I have three children currently enrolled (6, 4 & 1), and we really couldn’t be happier with the school, administrators, teachers and curriculum. First of all, the school is sparkling clean, and I have personally felt a reduction in sicknesses running through our house since we made the switch. I cannot say enough good things about the owner, Kelly, and her choices for staffing. The administration team are all friendly, hard-working and great communicators. Events are well-planned and polished, nothing is thrown together last minute. They are organized and all very helpful. Although I don’t have personal experiences with all the educators, my children’s teachers, and associated helpers have been wonderful. You can tell they are committed to their profession and have adopted the curriculum. I don’t get the impression this is a temporary or short-term commitment for them. My favorite thing about the staff is that I can tell they love my kids, and what more can you really ask for? We are all very happy and look forward to at least another 5 years of partnership with Goddard Viera. ----- Author: Keke Miles Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/16/2024, 2:03:53 AM Review: I know there is always concerns when a new school opens up about “allowing things to smooth out first” before making the move. I myself did a lot of research on the Goddard School brand and the owners of the Viera Goddard school. Through my research I found out that the Viera owners were very familiar with putting together a highly successful school and curriculum being that this would be the second school they opened up. I can honestly say I have been highly impressed with how quickly this school and staff have put together their curriculum, community engagements, and culture of the school. My son’s teachers have been engaged, communication has been consistent and my boys are happy. It seems that everyday there is something new being taught to tie into the overall lesson plans for the week. The school is clean, they offer extra curriculum activities like playball sports (over 10 different sports taught), little ninjas and I believe dance as well. There has been a breast cancer walk and a food can drive to allow the school community to come together for each of these causes. Additionally, the administration has been proactive and approachable, always open to feedback and dedicated to ensuring the success of every child. The daily updates through the app are a wonderful touch, keeping parents informed about what their children are learning and experiencing throughout the day. What stands out the most to me is the sense of community they’ve built in such a short time. From special events to parent engagement opportunities, it feels like more than just a school – it feels like an extended family. The safety measures in place also give me peace of mind, knowing my children are in a secure and nurturing environment. Overall, I feel confident that enrolling my kids here was the best decision, and I look forward to seeing how they continue to grow and thrive in this amazing environment.

The teachers are incredibly caring and attentive, fostering a warm and nurturing environment. We have only been there since they opened in August, but my child has thrived both socially and academically already! The engaging curriculum keeps them excited about learning. The indoor and outdoor play areas are fantastic, providing plenty of space for kids to explore and be active. The school’s cleanliness is impeccable helping my child stay healthier this school year. Communication with parents is excellent, making us feel involved in our child’s progress. They have done so much as a school for community involvement and truly care about partnering with parents. My child looks forward to going to school every day to see her teachers and new friends. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for little ones to grow and learn!

Absolute best daycare in the area! We transferred from the Amazing Explorers Academy and haven’t looked back since. Highlights: - excellent education for our littles - they don’t use TV shows to pacify children - they have structure to their learning and activities are always age appropriate - the teachers are hands on and interact with the children - they have temperature scanners when you walk in, and whether you’re a parent or kid you can’t come in if you’re over 101 - they have an indoor gym with a rock climbing wall! - they have great outdoor areas that have a little kids running track, mini soccer field, playgrounds, mini basketball court, and an outdoor classroom. - they host events for the entire family to enjoy - they have sports programs (currently using Lil Ninjas and Playball) and dance classes onsite. Note, each are offered for an extra fee that goes to the sports company and not the school. - the owner, Kelly, works onsite and has vested interest in how well the school is doing. On top of that she is wonderful! She’s very responsive and supportive. And most importantly, my kids love it. If they could read and write they would agree their school is 5 stars!

I couldn’t be happier with my son’s daycare! He’s 1 year old and in the Toddler A classroom, and it’s been such a positive experience for him. The teachers are so kind and patient, always engaging the little ones with fun and age-appropriate activities. The facility is spotless, and the outdoor play area is fantastic, with separate sections designed for each age group to ensure safety and fun for toddlers. The daycare also has high-tech rooms where the kids enjoy interactive and educational activities, which is such a great addition to their day. They go above and beyond with themed parties and spirit weeks that make things even more exciting for the toddlers. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and truly care about the kids. My son looks forward to going every day, and it’s so reassuring to know he’s in a clean, nurturing, and stimulating environment. If we ever have another child, we’d send them here without hesitation. Highly recommend!

MaKenna and Lynexis have created such a loving and safe space for our daughter. We are so grateful to have found your school and them! They both truly care and adore the kids in the classroom and we can tell. It is so hard to leave her, but having people we trust makes it easier. I love that they send us pics and videos and we can see that she is thriving. Thank you, and I thank them, for creating this environment. We are so happy here and are so grateful to be able to attend.

My child transferred over from another day care and it was the best move we could have made for him. He is happier and healthier as a result of this move. I've seen his vocabulary and social skills leap astronomically in the last 4.5 months since his transfer. Most importantly, he seems a lot happier. Keep up the good work Goddard!
