At The Goddard School located in Collierville, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
The teachers and staff at Goddard Collierville are TRULY a part of our parenting village. They truly care about our kiddos’ development and well being. They’ve also been with us through two pregnancy losses; they were so gracious and supportive with not only us but our daughter during that time. I’m so thankful we found the Goddard School of Collierville! I highly recommend their daycare, preschool, and pre-k programs!

We have had an exceptional experience at Goddard till now. Being our child s first school we were quite apprehensive about him being able to adapt to a new environment . But the warm and nurturing classroom atmosphere, and the caring teachers brought him out of his shell quicker than we anticipated. We saw a major boost in his independence, confidence and communication skills. The activities are engaging and well thought off- fun and skill building at the same time. We highly appreciate the open communication with the teachers who regularly share his photos, updates and progress. He looks forward to go to school and meet his friends and teachers everyday. We are grateful to the teachers and staff for providing such a thriving environment for the kids. Cant recommend it enough.

I’m a teacher, and my daughter also attends The Goddard School. She’s been there for a few months now and has adjusted so well. We’re so happy with how she’s doing in all her activities. The teachers are absolutely lovely, and we truly love The Goddard School for the wonderful, caring environment they provide.

We have been attending this school for 8 years between our two kids. In those 8 years we have never had a bad experience. I know the teachers love my kids, they are well taken care of and they learn so much. My older son was very well prepared for kindergarten and I have no doubt my youngest will be as well. Front office staff and owners are all top notch! Love love love Goddard Collierville!

While this review is a little overdue, we can never express the satisfaction and gratitude that we feel towards the Goddard School, and the positive influence they were on our daughter and son's early childhood development, over the years. Both academically an socially, this school and their curriculums was nothing short of incredible and with our children now in elementary school, we can see the benefits of their time at Goddard , first-hand. From the teachers to the administrative staff, our experience over the years is one that will be remembered with great fondness. Gary and Ashleigh have been superb ambassadors for Goddard, and their commitment to both their staff, the children and their families, has been incredible. We thank Goddard for trying so hard to maintain on a daily basis, a consistent, safe and thriving environment for the children under their care, and hope that they will be able to serve in that capacity for a long time to come.
