- LALexi AddisonNov 13, 20255.0We truly couldn’t be happier with Goddard. The level of attention, structure and care that our toddler receives has been amazing.
- TRTess RancourtOct 15, 20255.0We have had a wonderful experience at Goddard in Chagrin Falls. My son has thrived there and as a mom there is nothing more I can ask for. The wonderful staff and teachers are an added bonus!
- KHKristen HerringshawOct 13, 20255.0We've had such a wonderful experience with The Goddard School of Chagrin Falls. My husband and I feel confident every day that our daughter is safe, well cared for, and supported while we're at work. The program is reliable, well structured, and thoughtfully organized, with a friendly and caring staff who truly know and love the children. Ms Hayley and Ms Madi (Whales classroom) are phenomenal teachers who go the extra mile to provide a fun, interactive, and engaging environment for their students. Communication is always proactive and clear, and it's evident that there's real pride and engagement in the school and its facilities. Most importantly, we've seen great learning and developmental growth for our daughter and couldn't be happier with our experience.
- BBBrian BlaggAug 1, 20255.0We moved to Goddard CF after spending 7.5 yrs (2 children) at Primrose in Solon. While the staff was great at Primrose and we created good friends along the way, you can tell that the environment set by ownership is significantly better for staff and students at Goddard CF. The curriculum and standards are also much higher and it shows with our daughters development. Having to pack lunches was originally a chore, but I almost prefer being able to work with my child on what she would like and what she should be eating. The cost is higher than PM Solon, but is negligible when looking at what our child gets out of it. I am glad to be a part of the Goddard CF family and look forward to watching my daughter grow with them. Thank you team!
- SASharon AndersonJul 10, 20255.0We’re absolutely thrilled with our experience at The Goddard School Chagrin Falls! The teachers in the Hippo Room are nothing short of incredible—caring, patient, and somehow managing to teach life skills and wrangle a room full of energetic kiddos with the grace of kindergarten-prepping superheroes. Our granddaughter is learning so much and having fun doing it, which, let’s be honest, is a miracle in itself. The front office staff is welcoming and pleasant every single day :) We couldn’t be more grateful for this amazing team!

Our busy toddlers flex their independence as they learn to walk, talk and safely explore the world around them. Their curiosity and interests drive the classroom structure.
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. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them. Children learn how to ask and answer questions, work with others, navigate social situations and understand and communicate their own thoughts and feelings.
Our teachers expertly create supportive classrooms for all children to safely learn and test new social, academic and physical skills throughout a typical routine that includes morning and afternoon snack time, lunch, naptime, exploration time, small and large group experiences and outdoor play.
