We couldn't be happier with our experience at The Goddard School on Gilbert Warner. From the moment our son started, it was clear this is more than just a preschool--it's a nurturing, loving community where children are truly seen and supported.
His teachers, Ms. Katie, Ms. Bri, Ms. Nicci, and Ms. Kayla, have been absolutely incredible. Their warmth and kindness shine through in everything they do, from the cheerful drop-offs to the meaningful activities they plan each day. They don't just teach, they connect. Our son lights up when he talks about them and asks for them by name even when he's not at school. He also talks about his friends with such affection, which speaks volumes about the classroom environment and the social-emotional foundation they're building.
One of the things we love most is the consistent, thoughtful communication. The updates and photos we receive through the app reassure us he's engaged, happy, and safe.
The small teacher-to-child ratios have made a huge difference too. Our son gets the attention he needs to thrive, and it shows in his growth and excitement each morning. He truly looks forward to going to school.
It means everything to us that our child is in an environment where he's not just cared for, but genuinely loved. Thank you to Ms. Katie, Ms. Bri, Ms. Kayla, and the entire Goddard Warner team for creating a place where our child is happy, growing, and flourishing.

I feel like I can give a very in-depth review of the Goddard school after getting to see it from both a teacher standpoint for four years and as a parent, whose three children attended since infancy. My children thrived at Goddard and we only recently left due to a move. They were cared for with love and compassion and given room to grow emotionally and academically. My son is naturally curious but all of his teachers helped fuel that curiosity. My twins were given so much love and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for them to get their start. There are far too many amazing teachers to mention but I’ll say a few - Ms. Jess, Ms. Bri, Ms. Des Ms. Adrianna, Ms. Nicci, Ms. Meira, Ms. MJ Ms. Afton, and Ms.Karsyn all played a huge roll in my children’s daily lives. Now from a teacher perspective I can truly say the main focus for us and what was presented to us was ensuring that each one of our students felt safe and important. The directors Kaleigh and Alex helped teach us and guide us in creating classroom environments that felt like home for our students. We were also give support by admin and fellow teachers on implementing curriculum that we could feel good about - meaning I knew when I left work that day my students had learned something that they could now apply in their lives.
As a teacher and parent I am forever grateful for the Goddard school!

My daughter has been going to The Goddard for three years and I am continually impressed with the care and education she receives. Her teacher, Ms. Kayla, is dedicated to making the most out of each day. She takes the time to get to know the kids individually and is invested in helping them reach their goals. All of the other teachers and staff at The Goddard have been wonderful, too. I always know my daughter is in safe hands when I drop her off. I enjoy reading the daily reports we receive which explain all of the things she worked on that day. Plus, I can leave notes for the teacher if there is something important they need to know for the following day. I couldn't be more pleased with The Goddard!
