- TSTeresa SilvaOct 19, 20255.0The best teachers they all love the kiddos so much and truly enjoy working with children. Genuine caring and loving teachers are so hard to find and the Goddard school cave creek has them ❤️ !! So lucky to be apart of the Goddard family !!
- HCHolli CharlesSep 19, 20255.0Our son has been enrolled here since he was 15 months old. The teachers, and staff are like family to us, and we have enjoyed all of the years we’ve spent here. The communication has always been great, and we have always had open dialogue as our son has grown into his emotions. This team truly cares to keep our kiddos on the right path, and helps Coach them when they need support with handling how they feel about challenges they face (like focusing on learning when you just want to play :), and learning to use our inside voice). We LOVE the teachers!!!
- BSBrittane SveumJun 20, 20255.0Both of our girls started at Goddard when they were 6 months- we’ve been there now for almost 3 years. Really appreciate the consistency of Bri in the Infant room. We trust her so much with our girls and I was so happy to still have her there for our second daughter. It made starting her in school that much easier! Everyone has been so friendly and my older daughter has loved every class she has gone through and the teachers ! The environment is comforting and she has learned so much already - we can’t wait for her to head to the preschool class and look forward to her completing Pre-K at Goddard as well.
- CKCaley KennyJun 16, 20255.0Everyone at Goddard really cares about making it a warm, welcoming environment for the children and families. It is relaxed, yet very organized, and overall we are very pleased with our experience taking our daughter here. Thank you, Goddard, for making it feel like a family and a warm, safe place for our little girl! <3
- JCJennifer CavalcantJun 16, 20255.0We love The Goddard School of Cave Creek! The entire staff is caring, kind and knowledgeable and the curriculum is both challenging and interactive. We couldn't be happier being a part of the Goddard Family.

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them.
