- AEAmy Elliott4 days ago5.0This is hands-down the best school! The teachers are so kind and skilled—my oldest graduated pre-K reading and doing multiplication! The curriculum is consistent and engaging, and the leadership genuinely listens to parents. My two boys are thriving, and every afternoon I find their classrooms calm and joyful. No other daycare we’ve tried even comes close!
- ESEverett Rush (SmokeyMountainBanter)Nov 12, 20255.0Goddard Hardin Valley is the best! I love this school.
- AFAmanda FlennikenOct 20, 20255.0I can’t say enough good things about our experience with this Goddard HV. From the very first day, the teachers and staff have been so welcoming, patient, and genuinely caring toward my son. It’s clear they truly love what they do — they treat each child as an individual, with so much kindness and attention. He has blossomed since starting here — he is learning new words, making friends, and gaining so much confidence. What really stands out is how much love and care they put into everything, from the thoughtfully planned activities to the way they comfort the kids when they’re having a tough moment. Each staff member not only knows my son but knows my whole family by name.
- DBDebsindhu BhowmikOct 10, 20255.0Early childhood training center with excellent staffs, caring teachers, good locations. The teachers really care about the children and their well-beings, they keep them busy with many different activities as well interacting with others and among themselves, improving their social interacting and integration skills etc. They also have different math/science skill development programs adopted for early age children including overall mental development. The price is also reasonable given the overall market situation and other options nearby. In summary we're very happy with our experience there.
- ARAmani RoyceSep 14, 20255.0The teachers and staff really care about the children and are prompt at responding to questions or concerns. There are so many activities and things the kids do each day that my child really enjoys. My child has had a hard time adjusting to daycare in the past, but it went really smoothly with this transition to Goddard. It is so nice to see our child excited to go to in the mornings now.
