- JBJulie Anderson BrayMay 15, 20255.0I would absolutely recommend The Goddard School of South Reno to friends and family. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly invested in the development and well-being of each child. The curriculum strikes a perfect balance between structure and play, with thoughtful attention to early literacy, STEM, and social-emotional growth. The school is clean, organized, and welcoming, and communication with parents is consistent and transparent. I’ve seen noticeable growth in both confidence and curiosity in my child since starting here, and that peace of mind as a parent is priceless.

- CGChelsey GrayDec 22, 20205.0A great daycare! This school is very communicative and friendly. The school is always clean and organized and you can tell the teachers just love the students. We have lived in a few different states, which means my oldest has been in a few different daycares and this is our favorite. I am very impressed with how much my kids have learned and they are always bringing home TONS of artwork.
