- BHBrittany HarrJun 25, 20255.0Since our first day at The Goddard School of Lewis Center in April of 2023, we have had nothing but wonderful things to say about them. From the curriculum to the people and the care they provide, I could not be more appreciative. Our oldest son has so much fun while learning everyday. My husband and I are in constant amazement of the many activities and experiences he is having at such a young age because of this school- Spanish and Yoga classes, Ohio Wildlife Center visit, Bring the Farm to You visit, just to name a few. Our youngest child has special/medical needs, and Goddard has not only been accommodating but has provided me with a sense comfort, that as you can imagine, is not an easy thing to do. We are so grateful we found The Goddard School of Lewis Center!
- DHDina HuntJun 25, 20255.0We've had a wonderful experience at this Goddard School. Every teacher we've encountered has been exceptional - kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the children. Over the years we've been impressed by how thoughtfully the curriculum is structured; it's age-appropriate yet advanced, striking a great balance between learning and play. Highly recommend!
- AGArwa GinwalaJun 25, 20255.0It has been great to have my son at Goddard School of Lewis Center. He really likes his teachers and particularly enjoys showing off his toys and clothes to them every morning. Teachers try to bond by matching with him on certain days. He enjoys his water days in summer and has been making couple of close friends. I wish they provided lunches like some of their counterparts in Columbus but overall I recommend Goddard for preschool. They keep the kids busy while they learn throughout the day, by doing experiments, free play, speaking Spanish, playing soccer or enjoy visits from guests like farm animals.
- CCChas CullenJun 25, 20255.0We’ve had experience with several day cares over the years, and we have been extremely impressed with the care we’ve received at The Goddard School of Lewis Center. The teachers are phenomenal and there has been minimal turnover. The leadership team is organized, communicative, and open to feedback. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience and highly recommend The Goddard School of Lewis Center for any family looking for care.
- CLCassie LamprinakosJun 25, 20255.0We absolutely love The Goddard School of Lewis Center! From day one, the staff has shown genuine care, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to the well-being and development of the children. Every time I drop off my daughter, she greets the teachers with a huge smile, and that moment alone gives me so much peace of mind. It's clear that the teachers truly know and care about each child. The communication is great, the environment is clean and nurturing, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a daycare where their child will be safe, happy, and truly cared for.
