We continue to feel extremely satisfied with our daughter attending Goddard in Beachwood! Their commitment to creating a nurturing environment that supports each child's unique needs is evident, and it's particularly apparent to us since our daughter has special needs that requires constant attention. Her teachers in every classroom she's been a part of plus every staff member have embraced this challenge with grace and unconditional support. The way they foster a sense of belonging and kindness in all of their students and staff is remarkable, and we could not be happier with this location and with Goddard as a whole.

The Goddard School has been an incredible choice for my daughter! The safe, friendly environment supports her learning and growth every day. Her pre-K teachers, Ms. Sarah and Mr. Nick, foster a fun and engaging atmosphere while teaching valuable skills in reading, math, science, and even robotic literacies. It’s wonderful to see her so excited to learn and share what she’s done at school. The staff is warm, and the building is always clean and well-maintained, which shows their attention to every detail. I couldn’t ask for a better place for her to thrive. Highly recommend!
