At The Goddard School located in Cincinnati, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
Our child loves going to “school” at Goddard. She constantly talks about her teachers and friends. We love the curriculum and how it engages in experiences our child would not otherwise get. The staff is always communicating throughout the day, and weekly to update us on classroom activities and themes. We are quite happy with our decision to enroll our child in the Goddard school.

We cannot say enough great things about Goddard. The staff is the top notch and go above and beyond. Our first born just "graduated" from Goddard in August 2020. During her conferences, we asked the teachers how prepared she was for Kindergarten. Without hesitation, they said she was extremely prepared and was performing above average. I know she wouldn't be at the level she is at today without Goddard. Also, it is evident how much she loved her experience when she asks to go back on her days off. We love Goddard and are forever grateful for everything they have and continue to do for our family!

We have sent our son here from 18 months (2013) to 5 years old (2017). Very positive experience throughout. I have found almost everyone very respectful. Based on the lessons and content he shares with us after school, I've been impressed with everything he has learned. Disclaimer: this is our first child so my review is limited to my experience without necessarily knowing the quality of immediate alternatives. But overall happy customer! Based on a 6+ month waiting list that is primarily filled by siblings of existing "students" I would suspect others feel the same way. This review was completely unsolicited. I was looking up the address on google maps and wanted to share my opinion when I saw how few reviews they have received. Thanks, Goddard!

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.
