- DMDanielle MontenegroOct 10, 20255.0Our daughter has been at The Goddard School in Riverview since she was 3 months old and is now 6 months, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s in the Hedgehog classroom, and Miss Grace, her lead teacher, is absolutely wonderful. Phoebe is always so well cared for and comes home clean, happy, and thriving. She’s been hitting her milestones beautifully, and it’s clear she’s in a loving, nurturing environment. We’ve recently started receiving photos of their daily activities, which has been such a sweet way to stay connected throughout the day. The staff is always communicative and keeps us informed about how she’s doing. As first-time parents, it brings us so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such good hands. We truly appreciate everything Miss Grace and the Goddard team do for our little one!
- EMEduardo MontenegroOct 10, 20255.0Ms. Grace is absolutely wonderful! She leads the babies’ (1 and under) class and does such an amazing job. My little one always comes home happy, clean, and in a great mood, which makes me feel so reassured. It’s clear she really cares about the kids and gives them great attention and care. The school itself is clean, nice, and well taken care of, but Ms. Grace is definitely a standout. I completely trust her and really appreciate the love and effort she puts into her work.
- SMSeema McPeakOct 8, 20255.0The Goddard School has been such a wonderful part of our family’s journey. Every teacher has shown genuine love, care, and attention, creating a safe, happy, and inspiring place to learn. The school is always clean, organized, and full of creativity. Special thanks to Miss Dawn, Miss Tatiana, and Miss Amy — our forever favorites — and to Leslie, Tasha, and Patty for their incredible support. We’re truly grateful knowing our child is in the best hands every day.
- TMTim McPeakOct 8, 20255.0Suppose it’s about time I left a review since our daughter has been attending the Goddard School in Triple Creek since, well, forever! From the first visit, which was very convenient since we live in the neighborhood, every person we interacted with was so nice and engaging. As a dual working household, and a wife that stayed home with our girl for the first two years, we were like silent food critics looking for any abnormality that would turn us off. Not to be found. 2 + years later we know now this was the best decision. There is a recognition that the teachers and staff here are molding our daughter in accordance with our principles as parents. They are communicative, loving, and treat our girl as if she was a part of their family. As an example, as a military guy, I was deployed for 3 months and naturally one day our daughter got sick. The office manager, Leslie, called my wife to tell her, and my wife was freaking out because she couldn’t leave her job. Leslie reassured her that they would care for our daughter away from the other kids until whatever time she could make it. That passion and lovingness has been a trademark of the staff every day we drop her off. To the education… our daughter is thriving. Every day there is a new idea learned, an awesome painting, a different language, a more robust vocabulary… the list goes on. Lastly, we have leveraged their awesome teachers to watch our girl when we want to do a date night. She loves all of them so much, so it’s a seamless transition and our daughter feels so comfortable. Can’t say enough about the staff and ownership, we love them and they show the love back.
- LCLeslie CharroufSep 25, 20255.0First of all, the building is very clean. Toys are cleaned and sanitized regularly. Office staff is very nice, helpful and professional when you come in. The teachers and assistants are very engaged with the kids! Classroom management is top notch! All students are focused on learning. I highly recommend this school/daycare for any of your children!
