- IRIzabella RitzOct 19, 20255.0We brought our child to Goddard Lake Nona when he was just one year old, and his development has been incredible ever since. He’s always been ahead of schedule — by the age of two and a half, he could count, recognize letters, and even start identifying words using flashcards. The school also supported us with potty training and has always been responsive to every question or request we’ve had. The teachers are absolutely wonderful — kind, professional, and clearly well-trained. We truly feel that our child is in the best hands, and we plan to stay here as long as possible until kindergarten. Thank you to everyone at Goddard Lake Nona for creating such a nurturing and inspiring environment!

- KOKalee OliverAug 15, 20255.0My daughter just graduated VPK here and spent about 3 years here in total. We are so happy with Goddard school and wouldn't have changed it for anything. We started at a different school so I do have some perspective as far as comparing goes. The kids are all happy and well taken care of and the staff is friendly and nice. Highly recommend!!!
