- MLMelissa Leonard5 days ago5.0The facility is beautiful. The faculty are kind, understanding and truly care about each child. They greet every child by name and with warm smiles and cheerful "Good Mornings". Lunch options through Publix are available although. Extra curricular activities are offered. Your child participates during school for an additional fee. I am very happy with Goddard school and my son really enjoys it.
- GGGill GjiniNov 12, 20255.0My daughter absolutely loves going to school here. She enjoys all of her school activities and her teachers are amazing. She gets so excited to go to school in the morning to see them. She has learned so much and she brings home all of her newly learned words, songs and books and talks about them everyday. Her teachers and the rest of the staff are very friendly, very personable and very welcoming. We put her in school when she turned 2 and we were nervous about it at first but she has had an amazing transition thanks to her teachers. The staff all know exactly who we are and they know my daughters name every time we leave or come in, someone says hi/bye to her and she says hi/bye back. It really is an incredible experience to see how invested they are from administrators all the way to the teachers, they all have the same level of care and communication which is rare. I would highly recommend this to anyone if you are looking to enroll your child or make a switch, the Goddard School of Nocatee is the best.
- CDChelsea DavidsonOct 19, 20255.0The Goddard School has been amazing for both of my children. During our time there, they both learned so much and were deeply cared for. We only left due to my husbands job relocating us out of state, but had that not of happened we would still be there! The teachers and management team are amazing, warm and welcoming!
