- KBKimberly BloughOct 23, 20255.0My daughter has been going to the Goddard School since she was 6 months old and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the school. Her growth and development has been amazing to watch and I know it is due in no small part to the wonderful, caring teachers and staff at Goddard. They are truly invested in every child and every family and the curriculum and activities they have for students, from the smallest babies up to the older kids, are truly impressive. I love to see what my daughter gets up to at school every day! The owner truly cares about the school community and her staff and it really shows in the positive environment the school radiates. I am a very proud Goddard parent and grateful we started my daughter there two years ago! I feel very safe and secure sending her there every day, which is so important. I can’t wait to watch her continue to grow at the school.

- LRLymerka RiveraMay 9, 20175.0The Goddard School in Frederick is the best school in this area! Our experience here is a wonderful one. My child has learned so much since day one. The staff here is just amazing and the new owner is fantastic. The school was recently renovated and it looks great.... the new playground is just perfect for the kids to have lots of fun. I personally love the curriculum and all of the extra classes like yoga, music, and sign language. Best decision ever!!
