- JBJoe BalestrieriOct 15, 20255.0We recently switched to The Goddard School and have absolutely loved it! The staff has been very welcoming and have worked to establish connections with our kids. And our kids have been noticeably enjoying their time at Goddard. We love the fact that the owner is on-site and the professionalism we have witness from the entire staff. We highly recommend Goddard!
- PAPaige AlexanderOct 10, 20255.0We love this school! I’m fortunate to work in several childcare/preschool centers around the area, giving me an insider’s look. When we found out we were expecting our daughter, it was a no brainer that this was the school I wanted her to attend! Over the last few years major things I have noted is that teacher retention is high (big one), Pre-K curriculum is outstanding, high level of communication with parents & teachers, involved administration, behavioral support, & collaboration with parents to continually improve the school as a whole. Since my daughter has started, I’ve found it very easy to build relationships with her teachers and work together to best support her growth & development. The teachers are team players, floating between classrooms when needed. Because of this, everyone knows my daughter’s name & fosters smooth transitions when she moves to the next classroom. She learns so much when she’s at school & she’s not even 2 yet! Couldn’t recommend The Goddard School - Olathe Northwest more!
- LLLauren LarsenOct 9, 20255.0We have had our children at Goddard for 5 years. Always recommend it. The teachers and staff are 10/10. You won't find another daycare with staff and teachers as educated, caring, and passionate about their jobs as Goddard. In the 5 years I have been there I have NEVER had an issue and have only had a positive experience. The ownership is amazing and they find the best staff/teachers. I'll be sad when it is our time to move on.
- MWMikaela WagersOct 9, 20255.0My child has been attending Goddard for a few years now and it has become a safe place for him that he loves to go to. He loves learning and he has received so much support and care from his teachers throughout the years. The school is very prompt with communication and I know I can discuss anything I need to with them and they are ready and willing to help my child succeed. It’s a great school that continues to show they truly care about the children, parents and employees.
- AMAlaina MorrisOct 9, 20255.0We just hit the year mark with our Goddard fam and could be more happy with our choice to trust our kids with their team. Our daughter absolutely loves the staff and her friends and we love (most of the time ;-)) how amazing it is to hear her sing in Spanish at home. We have Goddard to thank for her growing knowledge and love for them. Can’t wait for our son to start next month! Highly recommend!
