- CScarla SurmanSep 1, 20235.0We have been with The Goddard School of Skippack since our daughter was 18 months old, and she is now 4 and starting Pre-k. Words can't begin to describe how grateful we are for The Goddard School of Skippack. The staff/teachers are amazing, they have so much heart and a caring mindset. It was wonderful seeing our daughter get excited about going to daycare/preschool. The teachers really make an effort to engage the kids and develop them. The management is really committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to The Goddard School of Skippack for providing our daughter with such a nurturing environment during her time there.
- AGAmy GabrieleSep 6, 20185.0The Goddard school located in Skippack is the best daycare facility in the area! When we made the decision to enroll our 5 month year old we were very hesitate and spent months touring all different schools. Skippack location is clean, SAFE, and the teachers are the best. I never feel like I am dropping my son off to a babysitter but I genuinely feel like he goes to school each day. He’s almost 7 months now. Learning to crawl, loves other babies, smiles when I drop him off. The transition to enroll him in daycare was harder on myself then for my son. The faculty worked with me to make sure I was comfortable and I was able to drop off and pick up any time. The owner Brendan is actively engaged in the kids lives. We’ve toured some really awful schools and some really so-so schools but Goddard is the best. If they have an opening for your child. Take advantage of it. You won’t regret it. The tuition is even cheaper than some of the other schools I’ve toured. In fact just take a tour yourself and you’ll see the difference. Cannot say enough how awesome this school is!
