- BHBrooke HarrisOct 1, 20251.0Coming from another Goddard School location in Edmond, OK… this Jenks location is not even close to the same caliber. The school is outdated, dark and loud. The 4 year old class teachers came across inexperienced and cold, to myself and other parents spoken to. For 5 days, while dropping off and picking up my child we were never acknowledged by a teacher, my daughter was never welcome nor assisted with the drop off transition. I never received any art or tangible thing that anything was worked on, daily updates were severely lacking or wildly incorrect - seems like a weird thing to dishonest about. The teachers only sat behind their computer every drop off and pick up, never once communicating with parents unless it negative. I suspect several other Goddard standards were not upheld based on other observations made regarding food, drinks, and curriculum. Long story short, 5 days I had enough and enrolled her at another local school. For additional context: My daughter who is almost 5, has been in daycare since she was 2. She has never disliked or cried going to any daycare until I enrolled her at this location.

- ASAbby SmithDec 17, 20245.0My daughter has been going to Goddard for a couple months now and so far we both love it very much! The teachers are great and Tom is wonderful also!
- KMKelly MarlerSep 12, 20245.0I was told great things about Goddard before having my kids attend, and can say it has lived up to expectations. My kids have been attending for almost two months and so far I’ve been very happy with the school. Everyday they are excited to attend and don’t want to leave when it’s time to go. The teachers are all enthusiastic about their work and seem to care about the kiddos. Overall a great daycare to send your kids!
- JDJenny Taylor DespotovicMar 28, 20165.0Owner is always there and addresses my family's every concern. Teachers are caring and consistent. We have sent our 4 year old to several day cares in the Tulsa / Owasso area and the program and staff are the highest quality you can find. Our son enjoys his class, learns a lot and gets a ton of exercise. There are no TV's, they read and write and play. The food is good. I get daily reports of what he eats and learns about. A+ School
