- KFKeegan FordAug 11, 20255.0Excellent school with a faculty that really cares about your kids
- SKSamantha KnightApr 10, 20245.0My girls are 18 months and (almost) 3, and they love their teachers say Goddard! They are loved on and learn so much during their day. I love that I get to hear my preschooler talking in Spanish and get so many pictures during their school day to see exactly what they’re learning. Definitely one of the top schools in Oviedo!
- HMhonesty maJan 17, 20241.0Leaving an anonymous comment since I am too scared to go directly to the school and afraid that anger will be taken out on my child, by the teacher. Starting off by stating that, my child has been attending Goddard Oviedo since my child was just under a year old and we've never had any issues with any of the teachers!!! I won't say how old my child is now since they can narrow down which class my child is in. This school year started in August 2023, my child comes home upset and crying, all self conscious because the teacher comments on my child physical looks along with, verbal practices of bullying. I won't say more because I do not want to be identified and have my child be targeted any further. I know it’s not only my child because other parents and I have similar concerns. The school should allow TRUE anonymous feedback from parents and how the teachers treat the students.

For infants, we follow the care schedule set by your family and utilize personal care moments to connect with and expand your little one’s individual development. Our teachers also incorporate songs, finger play, books and sensory and physical exploration each day.
Our busy toddlers flex their independence as they learn to walk, talk and safely explore the world around them. Their curiosity and interests drive the classroom structure.
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.
Our teachers expertly create supportive classrooms for all children to safely learn and test new social, academic and physical skills throughout a typical routine that includes morning and afternoon snack time, lunch, naptime, exploration time, small and large group experiences and outdoor play.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools. If your child is not vaccinated, please contact the owner of The Goddard School to inquire as to whether exemptions may apply as not all exemptions are recognized in every state. To ensure the health and safety of everyone, if an outbreak occurs and a child has not been vaccinated, they will be asked to stay at home.

Please provide any necessary personal care supplies for your little one, such as diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet.
