Love this place!! As much as I would love to stay at home with my little girl, I still feel confident leaving her with this team of kind-hearted experts during this season.
My 5-month-old little girl has been going for the last month and LOVES her teachers.

I have had 2 children go through the program from start to finish at this school. I can’t say one bad thing about the programs, lesson plans, or the people that have had an influence on my children’s lives through this amazing school!

Both kids spent years at Goddard and had great experiences. When issues arose, communication and expectations were clear, and solutions were provided. Highly recommend.

My family has sent all of our children to Goddard in Farragut for years. When I became a parent myself, choosing Goddard was an easy choice. Both of my children have thrived here, and my wife and I can’t say enough about how supportive the leadership team and teachers have been. The hardest part is convincing my children to leave at the end of the day because they love it so much!
