- ABAnn Bensen4 days ago5.0We’ve had such a lovely experience with the teachers and faculty at Goddard Pasadena. My littlest has the same teachers that my oldest son had when he was a baby. Teachers are so wonderful and provide great consistent and open communication. Our kiddos look forward to each day.
- CDCady DeBenedictis4 days ago5.0We couldn't be happier with the Goddard School! Leaving your child with someone else can be tough, but the moment we drop our daughter off, we know she's in the best hands. The staff is consistently warm, patient, and truly engaging. We love hearing about all the fun and creative activities they do each day, and the communication from the teachers is excellent. My daughter is always excited to greet her teachers and comes home happy, often showing off a new song or skill she learned. The environment is safe, clean, and truly fosters a love of learning and exploration. The Goddard School feels like an extension of our family, and we are so grateful for the care and dedication everyone shows. Highly, highly recommend!
- MCMarika ClarkApr 30, 20145.0We have had a child attending the Pasadena Goddard School since last August and we are thrilled with the results. Our child comes home happy, fulfilled, and is learning SO MUCH! The administration, teachers and facilities are wonderful! Everyone works with us to ensure that our child has the best possible education, lots of fun, and is prepared for elementary school. They also offer many programs such as soccer, summer programs for all enrolled and and school-aged kids, and we just attended a spectacular bbq to celebrate the beginning of spring! I recommend the Goddard School 100%!
