At The Goddard School located in Marietta (East Cobb), we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
Goddard Marietta teachers, admin, and owners always create a warm and welcoming environment. We have been so pleased with our baby’s infant classroom, especially because of the genuine care that Ms. Bahni and Ms. Bavya provide. They truly go the extra mile to meet our son’s needs and give us reassurance through meaningful updates and photos. Ms. Naomi and Ms. Kenya are also wonderful and love on our baby like their own. The quality of staff, curriculum, and overall engagement speaks volumes of the owners, Vic and Aziza. We are very grateful to have found this loving daycare and can’t wait to see how our son continues to develop.

We absolutely loved our time at Goddard! We adored the teachers and still regularly hang out with the parents. It's a true, supportive community. Above all else, our child is incredibly well prepared for Kindergarten. I would highly recommend Goddard for a loving, safe, and growth-minded school.

Our son had attended Goddard from the age of 1 to the age of 5 where he graduated his Pre-K. He loved attending the class every day. Even after a doctor’s appointment he would ask if he could be dropped back to school. The administrative staff has always been very friendly and very responsive. Would highly recommend this as an institution for starting the first steps in early education.

Both my son and daughter attended this daycare, and we had a really wonderful experience! The staff is supportive, attentive, and truly dedicated to each child's development both emotionally and academically. We were absolutely thrilled to have my son finish his last year there with Ms. Neha as his Pre-K teacher— she made a huge difference. She has a heart of gold and is an incredibly dedicated teacher. I always loved seeing the fun, creative activities they did each day. Whether it was art, science experiments, hands-on projects, or so much more, it was clear the kids were engaged and enjoying themselves. We always felt confident they were in a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. Cannot say enough good things about ALL the staff and teachers. Never had a bad experience in all our years. Highly recommend!

Both of my children go there for a few years now and we just simply love the school! They are both so happy to go there everyday, and it is a piece of mind when you know that your children are taking care by good people. They took and still take COVID very seriously. We are always promptly informed about any changes or updates. We also get pics, videos, and notifications about what our children are doing while at the school (those keep my days going). Facilities are clean and each classroom is like a little world for little people. They take care of our children, but they also teach them academics and basic skills, that’s another reason why we love the school. I recommend them without hesitation!
