- ESEmily SmithJul 22, 20255.0We can’t say enough great things about The Goddard School in Worthington. The staff truly makes an effort to get to know each child—their personalities, routines, and what makes them feel comfortable and supported. It’s clear they genuinely care. Their communication with families is excellent, and we always feel informed and involved. We also witnessed firsthand how well the team handles a crisis. During a recent unexpected medical situation, they remained calm, professional, and compassionate—not only in the moment, but with continued follow-ups afterward to check in and make sure everything was okay. It wasn’t something caused by the school, but how they handled it really stood out. We struggled with the idea of daycare at first, but The Goddard School has become a true home away from home for our kids. The environment they’ve created is nurturing, safe, and filled with care. We’re so thankful to be part of this community.
- SASarah AminJun 20, 20255.0The Goddard School of Worthington Hills has been a second home for our 3 children for the past 10 years. I toured countless preschools before falling in love with this one. Shoutout to Mrs. Sam and Shelly for welcoming us with open arms! Our children have learned so much from the highly qualified and skilled teachers. We are grateful for the education, care and compassion that the entire staff provided our family with this past decade. I highly recommend this Goddard School to anyone looking for a trustworthy, well-rounded preschool!
- AZAlyssa ZoellnerJun 9, 20255.0All 3 of my kids have attended Goddard. My oldest was well prepared for kindergarten. She was at a 2nd grade reading level upon entering. I know this is because of the amazing curriculum and patient teachers she had for preschool and pre-K. I also have preschool aged twins and we had explored a few different schools due to costs. At the end of the day we felt Goddard would be the best choice for them. We love the teachers so much! My twins are in Miss Sarah and Miss Ally’s class and they are thriving! Sarah and Ally give them so much love and patience during the day all while helping them learn. Goddard and the teachers have also done an amazing job taking care of my son who has a complicated medical condition. I was so nervous to have him start preschool, but they make sure all staff understand his condition and needs. We always recommend Goddard to friends and family and will continue to do so.
- LPLori PingleFeb 15, 20245.0I really can't say enough great things about The Goddard School of Worthington Hills. The staff all care so much about our kids. My kids go on and on about what happened that day and they love their teachers. It really is a community and I can't imagine a better place to send my kids.

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.
