- CHChristy H.Sep 8, 20255.0I have a seven month old and 2.5 year old. We started with Goddard about a month ago and everyone has been great, our kids love it there.
- RMROOTVIK MEHTASep 5, 20255.0My son attended Goddard for almost 2 years. This was his first daycare and he was extremely nervous but the teachers made him very comfortable right from the start. To our surprise he adjusted fairly quickly within the first week all due to the amazing teachers at Goddard. We’ve liked Every teacher he’s had during this time there and would highly recommend to any parent considering daycare options for their children. Thank you Goddard of Chalfont.
- CGChrystie GiangiobbeAug 30, 20255.0Both of my children attended Goddard, and I can say it has been one of the best decisions we made when picking a place to help our children grow and learn at a young age. From the beginning, we felt welcomed and confident that our kids were in a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment. The teachers are nothing short of amazing. They’re warm, patient, and genuinely care about each child’s development and well-being. Our kids often came home talking about fun activities, new songs they learned, and the exciting things they did with their friends. The staff also goes the extra mile to communicate with parents regularly, sharing updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. The daycare runs smoothly. From drop-off and pick-up procedures to cleanliness, safety protocols, and special events, everything is handled with care and efficiency. We’re incredibly grateful for the positive foundation Goddard provided for both of our kids. It’s a place filled with love, laughter, learning, and lasting memories. Highly recommended to any family looking for more than just childcare and a place where children thrive.
- GPGauri PatwardhanJul 15, 20255.0My daughter enjoyed and learned a lot in last one year at Goddard school of Chalfont. Teachers and staff are very friendly and dedicated. Also, they provide shuttle to nearby schools which is very helpful!
- EEEmilyJun 2, 20155.0Our daughter has been attending The Goddard School for just under a year now and we could not be happier. We came from a local in-home daycare and having a terrible experience there, Goddard was able to give us peace of mind and has done an amazing job caring for our little girl. I love the tadpoles app they use to keep us up to date throughout each day on what they are doing. I would highly recommend them to anyone! The staff are excellent and our daughter really seems to enjoy herself.
