- NJNeha Jain2 days ago5.0My child has been attending preschool for the past six months, and it truly feels like the best decision I’ve ever made. The teachers and staff are incredibly supportive and friendly, creating a welcoming environment where my daughter feels happy and engaged. She enjoys her time there while learning new skills, and I’m grateful to see her growing both academically and socially.
- NKNikki KrauseOct 27, 20255.0I can’t say enough about the staff. Walking in, the directors say hi, not only to my son who attends Goddard, but my daughter who does not. They know her name and she knows theirs! This morning, my son’s preschool teacher said “I should just make her a cubby” she was referring to my daughter. My son’s classmates all know her name and play with her every morning at drop off. My daughter feels special and that means the world to me. Miss Amy lives across the street from my son’s baseball field and even attended a game! You know your kid loves school when he’s super excited to see his teacher outside of school! Not only my son but two other kids have previously been in her classroom and were ecstatic to see her. We love our teachers and directors💙🩷
- SRSamantha RamboOct 14, 20255.0My youngest son goes here & let me tell you: best decision I have ever made! He is so excited to go to school & he has a connection with both his teachers. He has to wear an eye patch to strengthen his weak eye. He was very nervous to wear it in front of his friends but both Ms. Kylie & Ms. Jennifer hyped it up! He comes home every day telling me what exciting things he did that day. Goddard of Schwenksville is my #1 recommendation to any family looking for childcare!
- KGKunal GAug 18, 20255.0We have been sending our daughter here since the last few months and we have seen a positive change in her, the teachers were very sweet and caring towards our daughter and gave her time to adjust. Everyone in the staff have been great, especially Miss Becky and Miss Sam have been amazing with our daughter. We look forward to sending our daughter here for the foreseeable future.
- DDDanielle DoyleJul 29, 20255.0We cannot say enough good things about this daycare. It has made a huge difference in our daughter’s life. She is on the spectrum, and finding a place that not only accepts her but understands and supports her has been life changing for our family. From day one, the staff took the time to read her IEP and actually used it, something that is sadly not as common as it should be. Within just the first couple of weeks, we saw real progress in her communication and social skills. She was thriving in ways we had not seen before. This is now our second summer attending their camp program, and every single teacher continues to be incredibly kind, patient, and attentive. The communication with parents is excellent and we are always kept in the loop on her care and development. Most importantly, our daughter loves going every day. She comes home happy, engaged, and excited to tell us about her day. The Goddard School of Schwenksville is a special place, and we are so grateful to have found it!
