- MMMelissa McGeehanOct 15, 20255.0We love Goddard School Exton! We have been a part of the Goddard Exton family for seven years now across our three daughters and it has been such a wonderful experience. The Directors and Teachers all provide excellent care and consideration for the kids. The education and activity programs they provide have proven really successful for our girls to learn and grow socially and emotionally. The level of care from all the Teachers is so attentive and nurturing. The communications from all Directors and everyone is constant and transparent, and they've all been open to listening about what happens in the home environment and how to support that in the classroom. Once our two oldest graduated from daycare/preschool at Goddard Exton to Kindergarten, they were so well prepared for the academics and the social emotional transition. We highly recommend Goddard Exton forever!!
- RKRachel KieselOct 10, 20255.0Our girls have attended The Goddard School Exton since 2022, and we couldn’t ask for a more nurturing and engaging environment. Not only do they learn and grow exponentially each day, but they feel safe, loved, and comfortable there—which is even more important to us! The teachers and directors have become like family, and it has been such a joy to revisit classrooms and experiences with our younger daughter that we loved the first time around with her sister. All parents know that having kids is a wild ride and that you have to expect the unexpected, but having a true partner and village in their school has been invaluable to our family. While we know our oldest will be ready to fly and head off to Kindergarten next year, we will miss her Goddard community dearly!
- TIThad Toole IVOct 9, 20255.0The Goddard School of Exton IS the place you want to send your kids. Thanks to Melissa and Co. my son got the extra support he needed and is now thriving in first grade. As I understand it, their level of involvement and dedication is very rare. I have genuine piece of mind when I drop my daughter off in the morning and could not have dreamt up a better scenario when looking at schools. That process is overwhelming. Goddard of Exton ends the search. They know my kid's routines better than I do. Love them.
- ENElizabeth NapierOct 9, 20255.0We LOVE Goddard Exton! They do special things for the kids all the time, it’s a positive and happy environment. My child is very happy and learning so much. We are so glad we transferred to this daycare once they had an opening!
- JCJoelleen CunninghamOct 9, 20254.0The Goddard school of Exton is exceptional in every way. The teachers are compassionate, caring and professional! The facility is always clean, organized, and welcoming. We feel very lucky to have found them!
