There are always educational activities, events , etc. when my son is at school, I know for sure he’s well taken care of, safe and happy.

- MBMary BeattieOct 19, 20215.0Goddard Family, A sincere thank you for the last three years Cole was with Goddard! He had such a great experience at Goddard from his interactions with his teachers and the front office staff.
- KCKatie CarlinSep 9, 20215.0Our children attended the Goddard School Millersville for 6 years and I can not say enough great things. The teachers, from infant to pre-k are phenomenal and truly dedicated to keeping the children safe, well cared for and engaged in learning. The administrators are always on site and ensure the facility is well run with a priority on communication. It has stellar operations and was able to navigate COVID and provide in-person kindergarten which we will always be grateful for! This is the place to be if you need a reliable, professional, and nurturing day care with exceptional teachers.
- HRHeidi RandallJul 6, 20185.0We sent our daughter here by choice not necessity for the past three years and honestly I wish we could send her there for the next 12. The staff there is wonderful, & they’ve been extremely accommodating. The curriculum there is bar none. In my opinion this is one of the best preschools in the area.
