- THTaylor HesseNov 6, 20255.0We couldn’t be happier with The Goddard School! From the very first day, the admin team and teachers have been so warm, kind, and genuinely caring. They make you feel like your child has a second family here, and that kind of peace of mind is priceless. Every morning drop-off feels comforting because I know our two littles are surrounded by people who truly love what they do. We originally chose Goddard because a few other parents we knew raved about it and now I completely understand why. It’s honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our children and family!
- SBSarah BradleyOct 29, 20255.0We have had a great experience since our daughter started at Goddard at 3.5 months! Her teachers Ms. Natalie and Ms. Colleen are so wonderful, and our daughter lights up when she sees them each day. We appreciate the daily logs sent about her eating/nap schedule, but also get great feedback from her teachers at drop off and pick up regarding her development, interaction with kids, etc. Ms. Jill, Ms. Krista, and Ms. Nichole are always so friendly during drop off and pick up. We can tell how helpful and supportive they are to the classrooms and ensuring safety in the building. We also love that Juneau from Duo Dogs makes visits on Tuesday mornings!

- JRJackie ReinagelOct 11, 20255.0The Goddard School Chesterfield has been such a special start to my children’s early education. It’s where my son’s interest in learning has really grown since starting here — he’s grown so much in confidence and curiosity. For my infant daughter, it’s been a safe, nurturing, and compassionate environment that encourages her to grow, learn, and meet new milestones every day. I’ve also experienced positive changes and tremendous support from the admin team, which really shows their dedication to continuous improvement and care.

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills.
