- JAJosh AminianNov 17, 20255.0Beautiful, clean school with incredible teachers and an engaged leadership team. Goddard Rocky River is awesome!
- DPDan PalmerOct 23, 20255.0The Goddard School of Rocky River is amazing! The teachers are caring, the classrooms are clean and engaging, and communication with parents is excellent. Our child has grown so much — highly recommend!
- AAAliciaAug 1, 20251.0I agree with the previous comment and that this school has its issues. I heard from other parents about their child getting dis enrolled due to lack of support and saying their kids were not well behaved. I had a tour of the school and seen its lack of cleanliness and updating. I’m surprised they pass inspections. I would never enroll my child in such a program that is run so poorly.
- CCCharlesJul 31, 20251.0One star is too much. The staff here has continuous incidents of leaving children unattended. The school has many dilapidated rooms and in need of updating. The overall cleanliness is also very poor. I would never recommend this school for any family to enroll their children into. Parents beware.
- JBJennifer BroadbentJun 10, 20255.0We loved everything about Goddard in Rocky River! During our son's time there, almost 2 years, he grew so much socially, emotionally and learned the tools for future development. The staff is incredible, the facilities are so nice and clean. If you are looking for a place that is nurturing, reliable and extremely responsive this is the place to send your child. We will miss Goddard and all of our friends!

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.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools.

To ensure the health and safety of everyone, if an outbreak occurs and a child has not been vaccinated, they will be asked to stay at home.
