At The Goddard School located in Rocklin, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
I’m so so so happy that we made the decision to enroll our daughter. From day 1, it’s been nothing but positive and amazing energy and my daughter has made tremendous progress and I know it wouldn’t be possible without the dedication teachers and staff.

I cannot speak highly enough about this school. Our family relocated from the UK temporarily last October and toured a number of settings before enrolling our then two year old son. We've recently returned home and are grateful for the opportunity to have experienced the curriculum, care and dedication to our son's learning for the 9 months he was there. The staff are incredible and the school is full of thriving children. Thanks Goddard!

We made the decision to have our boys attend the Goddard School and it's been one of the best decisions we've ever made! We love how attentive and caring the teachers are, how communicative they are, the way they try to keep kid:teacher ratios down, and how safe we feel knowing our kids are in such great hands. The curriculum is engaging and fun, and our boys truly seem to be learning a ton while building friendships with their classmates.
Special shoutout to all of the many amazing teachers who we get to interact with (and I hope I'm not missing anyone, though I'm sure I am): Sherri, Alondra, Megan, Marissa, Geetha, Kristine, Lina, Julia, Lily, Kiran, Tony, Mayra, Lorena, Min, Francesca, Christine, Christine, and Carly have all been amazing. I also want to share appreciation for Tayler, Angie and Sierra who are also terrific - thanks for always being sure to overcommunicate!
Thanks everyone for making Goddard such a special place!

We needed to transfer our child to a another child care facility secondary to hours of operation and location, but saw after two months that we missed the community social engagement and organized curriculum that this facility has given. We transferred our child back and it is like she never left…the teachers, students, and staff have welcomed us back with open arms!
