    We switched our kids from another childcare facilty to Goddard about 3 years ago and it was absolutely the right call. We've had zero regrets. Our oldest is in first grade now, but we still have our little guy there and honestly love the place. For us, the biggest win is the staff. The owner, directors, and teachers are top-notch. They genuinely care, and there’s not a ton of turnover, which has been huge for stability. There's a big emphasis on education and the curriculum has a ton of structure which has worked really well for our kids. Plus, the facility is always super clean and safe. Can't ask for much more. We highly recommend Goddard to any family.

    The teachers really do make the school! Though we had some struggles with consistency in the previous classroom, the Otters classroom has been incredible for our son. Within the first two weeks of Pre-K, he had already learned how to write his name. This classroom functions very smoothly and the teachers have easily established instructional control in their classroom. For parents who are looking for a strong, educational experience that mimics a true classroom environment, I cannot more highly recommend Ms. Jillian and Ms. Regan in the Otters room. We are so glad we continued with Goddard into Pre-K; it is amazing to watch our son thrive, educationally and socially. 10 stars for the Otters!

    We have been with Goddard in Meridian for over 5 years now. We started with our first born at 3 month old back in 2020 during COVID and was thankful at the schools commitment to kiddos health and cleaning the facility. Our first kiddo graduated this last sunmer and was well setup for kindergarten. Our second started early last year at Goddard and we plan to keep her there until kindergarten as well. The faculty is friendly and professional and have treated our children well. We like that they have lesson plans, activities, and do virtually no screen time during the day. We highly recommend Goddard for their standard of care and education.

    We've had our boys at Goddard for the past three years. Although our oldest is now in first grade, we still have our youngest there and absolutely love it! The facility is always clean and safe, which is a huge priority for us. What really stands out is their strong emphasis on education. Our boys learned so much while attending. For example, our youngest is currently in the Otters classroom and has made great progress with both his writing and counting skills. They also make learning fun by offering a lot of great activities at the center, such as visits from the Lego Truck, Kona Ice, Soccer Shots, and the Reptile Zoo. The children also do tons of thoughtful crafts and activities in class that have meaningful skill building attached to them. We have zero regrets about choosing Goddard for our kids and highly recommend it to other families.

    My son, now in the pre-K class, has been going to The Goddard School Meridian since he was only a few months old. In the many years that we have spent with Goddard, our experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. The teachers approach their classrooms with creativity and infuse a love of learning. We have always been particularly pleased with the way they take deep dives into subjects, helping kids master skills and concepts no matter the age. The office staff is also exemplary. They are professional, friendly, and anticipate your needs. Goddard is an extension of our family and we are so pleased with the impact it has had on our son‘s early learning. I would recommend (and have recommended!) The Goddard School Meridian to any family looking for a place to properly prepare their child for the world ahead. It is an investment well spent.
