- MNMaria Nepa5 days ago5.0My son loves the school. Ms. Leah and Ms. Jackie have been wonderful and made his transition from his old school so smooth. I can’t recommend enough!
- LLLauren LeaheyNov 8, 20255.0We have had the absolute best experience so far at The Goddard School of USC! Mr. Taran and Ms. Meredith are incredible teachers in the First Steps classroom. They have so much love for my child and are so creative with crafts and engagement. I love the communication I receive throughout the day with pictures, and the daily/weekly communication outlining the curriculum and activities they engage in. I have seen developmental leaps in my child from the time she’s started - including walking, talking more, engaging socially, and her overall schedule. Tyler and all of the Directors are amazing!
- AFA FOct 15, 20255.0We have seen a significant improvement in our child’s development and social skills over the last few months. Teachers are amazing as well as the office staff.
- AAaltsysetSep 24, 20255.0I highly recommend Gaddard. The dedication of the staff, along with their consistent communication and support, creates an environment where children can truly flourish. The teachers conduct themselves with a high degree of professionalism and care, which has earned the trust and affection of my children. All in all I love the friendly atmosphere
- EAEzeldeen AbuelkasemSep 20, 20255.0This is a wonderful school for young children, from as early as 1 day old through Pre-K. The staff is incredibly supportive and creates a warm, family-like atmosphere. Their curriculum and activities are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and foster a love of learning in young minds. The tuition is very reasonable and accessible for most families. Their hours: Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 6 PM, are ideal for working parents, allowing for a healthy balance between work and family life. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained. The teachers are top-notch professionals who follow strict adherence to both state and federal standards. I’m incredibly happy that my son has been attending since he was just 5 months old. Now, he’s almost 5 years old, and the growth we’ve seen has been amazing!
