- SMSeth MilmanNov 4, 20255.0Our kids started at The Goddard School in the infant room and have had a great experience from day one. The staff and teachers are wonderful - welcoming, caring, and dedicated. Our kids love going to school, love their teachers, and enjoy all the activities they do. We’re so grateful to The Goddard School for everything they’ve done for our children. It’s been such a warm, safe, and positive environment for them.
- TKTracey KrumOct 23, 20255.0My son has been at Goddard School of Royersford for almost 2 and half years now. He has grown both socially and academically at such a fast pace. Miss Sam, Miss Kait, Miss Kelsey, and the teachers onsite are wonderful to work with and truly want to help families succeed in any way possible. Everyone at the school is always so welcoming and it truly is a family environment.
- MRMegan RoynanOct 23, 20255.0As a first time mom, I was nervous about sending my baby to daycare. I knew Goddard was going to be a great fit after my tour (and from being a Goddard graduate myself)! From day one, Goddard has made my daughter’s experience and transition to daycare so smooth.All the teachers in the infant classroom are so loving and treat every child like their own. My daughter has a huge smile on her face every morning when I drop her off and when I pick her up. She genuinely enjoys being at school! I have also noticed that she is learning so many new things and reaching milestones quickly and I attribute a lot of that to her time at school. Every picture I get throughout the day, she is always happy and doing a fun activity! I would recommend Goddard to any parent looking for high quality and loving care for their child!
- LJLisa-Diahn JacksonOct 19, 20255.0I’m new to the Goddard school and I knew this was the place for my child from the moment I met Mrs. Sam, the owner, and took a tour of the school. The school is clean, the staff is friendly and I truly feel like everyone cares about my child’s wellbeing. He was recently sick and multiple people reached out to check on him and that means a lot to a parent. I really like the curriculum and appreciate that my child is learning and not just playing all day. The app is updated throughout the day with numerous pictures and the school is great with communicating reminders to family’s. I’m so happy I found this daycare and would recommend them to anyone that asked!
- DTDavid TorresSep 20, 20255.0We have been sending our children to Goddard for years, and I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a place to send their children into a nurturing and caring environment. The teachers truly care about the wellbeing and development of their kids. The faculty and staff are so friendly and I’ve never had any qualms about dropping my kids off there for the day.
