- JIJenifer IslasNov 13, 20255.0My son has been attending The Goddard School of Plymouth Meeting for 11 months, and our experience has been amazing. He adjusted quickly thanks to the caring teachers who made him feel comfortable right away. We’ve seen so much growth since he started at one year old, especially through the sign language and early learning activities they provide.
- SNSteph NorthingtonOct 15, 20255.0We couldn’t be happier with The Goddard School of Plymouth Meeting! The teachers are incredible and go above and beyond. Even those who aren’t directly in our children’s classes make them feel welcomed, valued, and loved every single day. We have a 21-month-old son and a 4-year-old daughter, and both genuinely love going to school. Our son struggles with morning drop-offs, but his teachers have been incredibly patient and supportive, helping the transition go much more smoothly. The directors and assistant director do an incredible job running the school. They are always professional, caring, and approachable. Their communication between home and school is excellent. They keep parents informed and truly partner with families to support each child’s needs. The owners, Kayte and Scott, are wonderful as well. They are actively involved, take great pride in their school, and treat their teachers with such kindness and respect. We made the switch to Goddard when our daughter was 2.5, and it has been the best decision for our family. Our previous school was less expensive, but Goddard is worth every penny. You absolutely receive the value in a caring, well-run, and enriching environment. We are so grateful for everyone at The Goddard School of Plymouth Meeting!
- SKSuz KitchenOct 14, 20255.0The leadership team and teachers at Plymouth Meeting are exceptional. They are so invested in the experience they provide, and genuinely care for my child as if they were their own. They are friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, and caring. They run a well oiled machine, and my child loves going to school. I can't imagine sending her anywhere else.
- ASAllyson StewartOct 14, 20255.0Goddard Plymouth Meeting changed our lives. We had our kids at a different childcare center that wasn't working for us. When we switched to Goddard in 2023, it was the best decision. Consistency, trust, safety, cleanliness, warm and welcoming staff and teachers, and a wonderful community of families makes this place really special. Thank you!
- KTKim To-LuiOct 13, 20255.0I would highly recommend Goddard to all families of the area. Their facility is very well maintained and there’s tons of fun, educational, structured activities for each age group. The owners, administrators, and teachers are all warm and nurturing.
