- NKNathan KnightOct 30, 20255.0From the moment we walked in for our first tour, we knew The Goddard School was something special. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of genuine joy. The staff took their time showing us around, answering every question, and giving us a clear picture of what a day in the classroom looks like. We left the tour feeling confident, informed, and excited. A feeling that has only grown since enrolling. The teachers are truly the heart of this school. You can immediately see how passionate they are about what they do. They greet each child by name, make them feel seen and valued, and create a nurturing environment that feels like a second home. The level of patience, kindness, and positivity they show every day is something we deeply appreciate. The classrooms are bright, clean, and thoughtfully arranged to encourage learning through play, exploration, and creativity. The curriculum is impressive; it’s age-appropriate, engaging, and well-balanced between academics, social skills, and hands-on activities. We love that our child is not only learning letters and numbers, but also confidence, communication, and independence. Communication with parents is excellent. We always feel informed and connected to our child’s day through updates, photos, and open communication. It’s clear that the school values partnership with families and truly cares about each child’s growth. Choosing The Goddard School has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Our child is thriving, excited to go to school, and comes home happy and full of stories. We are incredibly grateful for the amazing staff, teachers, and leadership team who make this such a wonderful place to learn and grow. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and high-quality early education experience! The Knights
- KMKevin MOct 28, 20251.0Incredibly rude experience at Goddard School Nashville recently. While the facility is new and shiny their personnel are lacking in social skills. Also of note, there is zero sunlight anywhere on campus - but an "outdoor playground" bordered by train tracks, concrete walls and shadows may just be a matter of preference. Daycare options in downtown Nashville may be scarce but I'll keep looking.
- HFHeather FrazierOct 27, 20255.0My son is almost two and comes home talking about school everyday. He loves his teachers and friends at school. He especially loves the trains nearby! I love the location and I especially appreciate knowing my son is safe, happy and learning nearby. I’ve had nothing but positive experiences from the staff and I look forward to seeing my son continue to thrive at Goddard.
- AFAmanda FieserOct 19, 20255.0Our daughter loves going there and I never worry about how she’s doing while she’s there because I know her teachers really care about her and when I pick her up she’s always having fun and usually doesn’t want to leave.
- EDEmily DhabaltOct 15, 20255.0Amazing school with knowledgeable teachers/staff. Everybody has been welcoming and eager to help our daughter learn and grow in the classroom and with friends. Very clean, great communication, and overall experience with Goddard Nashville Yards.
