- DGDaniela Geneva-MidoriAug 5, 20255.0We couldn’t be happier with the experience our family had at this preschool. Both of our sons attended, and it’s been a truly wonderful journey from start to finish. The environment is warm, supportive, and full of energy — a place where children are encouraged to grow, explore, and build confidence every single day. The teachers are absolutely amazing. They bring so much heart, patience, and dedication to their work. Each of our boys was treated as an individual, with care and attention tailored to their unique personalities and learning styles. It was clear that the staff were not only passionate about early childhood education, but also deeply committed to creating a positive, enriching space for all the kids. We’ve seen so much growth in both of our sons — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The preschool has a truly striving environment that sets a strong foundation for lifelong learning. We’re so grateful for the experience and highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a caring, high-quality early education setting.
- JWJames WalshJul 25, 20255.0We could not have been more pleased with The Goddard School of Scottsdale. All the teachers are very kind and caring to our son. Scott and Bettina provided our family with a short-term care for our son in a time of need until he could start at a preschool near our home. If it wasn't for the long commute, we would still be with Goddard today. I highly recommend this facility and staff!
- SKStephanie KeoganJul 15, 20255.0We’ve had a great experience at The Goddard School. All the staff are so warm and welcoming, and we want to give special recognition to Ms. Stephanie. She always goes above and beyond with the kids whether that’s making fun art projects each week or sending sweet photo updates throughout the day, she ensures the classroom is a warm, and loving space. Her genuine care and connection with the kids is truly special. My son absolutely beams when he sees her and drop off is a breeze. Ms. Stephanie is a gift to the school. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she and the Goddard family have given our son.

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. Children learn how to ask and answer questions, work with others, navigate social situations and understand and communicate their own thoughts and feelings.
