We had a wonderful experience at The Goddard School in Rock Hill, MO. Our family was part of the school from September 2021 - August 2025.
The teachers and staff provided compassionate, attentive childcare that made us feel confident and comfortable every day. The school prepared our children more than adequately for kindergarten, providing a strong foundation both academically and socially. We also appreciated how they worked with us and our children to support individual needs.
The summer program was a highlight. Each day brought something new and exciting, whether it was a fun craft, a dress-up day, a visit from a special guest, or another engaging activity. It was a change of pace for the summer months, while still maintaining the educational aspect and structure.
Communication was excellent. The school uses an app to share updates and photos, which was a great way to keep parents connected and see what was happening in the classroom. It gave us peace of mind as well as many sweet moments to look back on.
We’re grateful for the warm, nurturing environment and the professionalism of everyone at The Goddard School Rock Hill. We highly recommend it to families looking for a safe, caring, and enriching early childhood education experience.

We had 2 kids attend Goddard from as early as they were able to attend and had an amazing experience. Their teachers are so professional and my kids always raved about their teachers and assistants in every classroom. They helped teach them structure and soo much that we don’t feel they would have gotten elsewhere. They had all sorts of fun events for the kids and parents to attend after hours to meet the teachers and staff as well as meet other parents. One of our favorite things was when Babbaloo would come and perform at the outdoor parties. The kids and us as parents loved him as well. And of course Mr Dave was a fan favorite of our kids as he has been there since the beginning of our attendance helping with the food. We are soo grateful for our time and experience there.

We are so happy with our experience at Goddard. The focus on emotional and social development creates a really nurturing and engaging environment. The teacher’s way of including learning into their daily activities is wonderful. All of the staff are very friendly and we get a perfect amount of communication daily and weekly.
Our teachers really know our son, and I feel so comfortable talking to them about what his needs are. We also love the bonuses of parents night out, and all of the fun evening events that Goddard hosts!
