- DDDanielleAug 18, 20255.0As a mom, I could not be more grateful for our time at The Goddard School. From the very first day, I knew my son was in the best hands. The teachers and staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth and happiness. My son thrived here—he learned so much through play, discovery, and creativity that every day felt like a new adventure for him. The school is spotless, cleaned to standards that go above and beyond—even better than Covid protocols. I always felt complete peace of mind knowing my child was safe, cared for, and in a healthy environment. What stands out most is how much my son LOVED going to school. He had the best time every day, making friends, learning, and coming home excited to tell me about all he had discovered. The balance of fun and education prepared him more than amply for Kindergarten—not just academically, but socially and emotionally, too. The Goddard School didn’t just prepare my son for Kindergarten, it prepared our whole family for this next big step. We will forever be grateful to the amazing staff and teachers who poured so much love, care, and knowledge into our child’s early years.
- MDMax DuarteMar 2, 20215.0When we moved to Zionsville 5 years ago, we interviewed all private schools in Zionsville and Carmel for our little kids. What sold is to enroll then at Goddard Zionsville was the owner Miss. Dea. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the business and genuine care for the kids was obvious from the start. Our kids are now out of Goddard and in grade school. To this date both kids say that they miss Goddard and their teachers. Goddard Zionsville has been the best education decision that we have made for our kids.
