The Goddard School of St Augustine is absolutely amazing! From the minute you walk in and have Ms Tammy, Ms Nicole or Ms Melissa greeting you with joy and smiles you know your kids are in great hands and ready for an amazing day! My daughter has had the best experience learning to speak, walk and crawl in the infant room with Ms Lauren and Ms Oksana and then learning to play with others so well in the one’s room with Ms Natalia and Ms Fayth! My son in the twos/threes has learned to count to 50, his days of the week, months of the year and alphabet all at 2.5 years old with Ms Melissa and Ms Heidi! These teachers hug and love our children like their own! They are so easy to communicate with and will update you on everything! The best part of running down the hall and ending our days with a sticker! We absolutely love the Goddard School of St Augustine and feel so lucky to have our children there and thriving! The Kellers

Wonderful, Caring, and Professional Childcare
I couldn’t be happier with the care my child receives at the Goddard School. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and reassured. They are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s well-being and growth.
The environment is clean, safe, and thoughtfully organized, with plenty of engaging activities that support both learning and play. I appreciate how the teachers take time to share daily updates, milestones, and even little moments that made my child’s day special.
What stands out most is the genuine love and patience the staff show. My child is excited to go each morning and comes home happy, confident, and full of new stories. It’s clear that the Goddard School not only provides excellent care but also fosters a strong sense of community.
I highly recommend the Goddard School to any parent looking for a nurturing, professional, and trustworthy childcare center.

I wish we could say that our experience at Goddard was positive however from the beginning we felt uncomfortable with our daughter attending.
She is 3 years old and we just moved to the area, on her first day the staff seemed irritated, flustered and unorganized. We understand there can be some first day jitters and left for the day. When my husband came to pick her up in the afternoon he was very concerned.
1. Safety- Nobody greets you when you pick up, there is a passkey and a “eye scanner” to get into the building however this being our first week and that not set up yet anyone will just hold the door open. We found this concerning as staff were clearly unfamiliar with who we were. When you go into the classroom the teacher did not know where or who our daughter was, even at the end of the week when she had already been there a few days.
2. Cleanliness- Our daughter is fully potty trained, and asked my husband to bring her to the bathroom before he left. When he went in the bathroom the toilet was filled with feces and clearly hadn’t been flushed in some time. When he brought her to another bathroom there were dirty diapers and food on the floor. Kids were eating from paper towels on the furniture and not being monitored. This is concerning due to food allergies.
3. Lack of concern to fix the issue- Our daughter spent a total of 4 days at Goddard and we decided that we were uncomfortable with her care there and decided we would not be going back. My husband called and advised them that day. We sent a email to the owner who had zero interest in fixing these issues OR the wellbeing of the children there. Since we paid for the month we asked for a refund on the days she did not attend. He first lied to us and stated that it would be up to corporate. We called corporate who explained it is entirely up to the school owner. We again contacted the owner who again did not seem to be concerned about the cleanliness or wellbeing of the kids there and more about the money. He stated he gave us the “courtesy” of not charging us for August, when our daughter was only there for 4 days in the beginning of July. We were just requesting the days that she was not there be refunded due to these circumstances.
We still have not been refunded. I would think twice about sending your child to this school.
