- AAAlioska AdrianNov 11, 20255.0We’ve been part of The Goddard School family for three years now, and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From day one, the teachers have been absolutely incredible, so loving, patient, and committed to helping our daughter grow in every way. The amount she has learned, not just academically but creatively and socially, has amazed us. They’ve truly helped her blossom! The administrative staff is always so warm and welcoming. They do a fantastic job keeping us informed and making sure families feel connected to everything happening at the school. We’re genuinely sad that this is our daughter’s last year since she’s now in kindergarten, but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The kindergarten program has been phenomenal, Ms. Shannan and Ms. Katrina have gone above and beyond, and we are so grateful for their dedication and care. We are beyond thankful for everything Goddard has done for our family and truly wouldn’t trust anyone else with our kids.
- DKDennis KimNov 10, 20255.0Our daughter loves going to the Goddard School! The teachers and staff create a very warm, fun and safe learning environment for the children. Our daughter has made lots of new friends in her Penguins class, and her daily schedule is full of fun activities. Special thanks to Ms. Dani and all the assistant teachers (Regan, Lara, Emily Grace, and all the other teachers)! :)
- MSMegan SilvesterNov 6, 20255.0From day one at Goddard, the difference was obvious. The classrooms are calm, clean, and structured, with a clear curriculum that’s actually followed. My kids love going to school. They talk about their teachers constantly, and you can genuinely see how invested the teachers are in their growth and development. The children are kind, happy, and engaged, and the leadership team runs the school with intention and professionalism. Goddard is hands down the best daycare and early learning program in the area. If you’re looking for a place where your child will thrive, you won’t find a better school.

From day one, they’ve made us feel like part of the family. The staff are amazing. I can’t say enough great things. We’re so grateful to have found such a loving and supportive environment. Excited to watch our son continue to grow at Goddard School.
- ETElias TrejoOct 24, 20255.0My daughter has been enrolled at The Goddard School in Chantilly for over two years now, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience! Family and friends often comment on how academically advanced she is—and I truly credit her teachers and the incredible learning environment at Goddard for that. Beyond academics, the care and love she receives every day mean the world to us. She absolutely adores her teachers—special shoutout to Ms. Shania and Ms. Myra! There have been mornings when she wasn’t feeling her best at drop-off, but they always worked their magic to make her smile and feel comfortable. Knowing she’s in such nurturing hands gives me so much peace of mind. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to Ms. Amanda, Ms. LeAnna, Ms. Asia, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Moly, Ms. Regan, Ms. Emily, and Ms. Sofia. Each of you—and so many other amazing teachers—have shown such kindness, patience, and dedication in caring for my daughter. Lastly, a big thank-you to the owners, Ms. Risa and Mr. Brad—your warm, cheerful greetings every morning never go unnoticed and truly set the tone for the day! Thank you to everyone at The Goddard School in Chantilly (Westfields) for your outstanding work, genuine care, and commitment to helping children thrive. We are so grateful to be part of this wonderful community!
