- JSJoshua SeltzerNov 3, 20255.0My daughter attended Goddard School of Fairfax in the 3-4 year old preschool program for over 6 months. Let's just say we were really sad to leave since we had such a fantastic experience there! The staff go above and beyond to make sure both the children and parents are pleased. One thing as a parent that we loved the most were the daily updates (including photos and videos) of how our child was doing throughout the day. My daughter is definitely a much better individual thanks to her time at Goddard. We loved it so much that we plan to send our second child here once he's of age.
- PDPaty DaryOct 14, 20255.0My husband and I are extremely happy with our decision of choosing the Goddard school for our 3 year old daughter. The facility is very modern, clean and safe. Teachers are caring and have gotten to know our daughter well, and they have been great at communicating. My daughter in particular loves Nature class, which is once a week, the children get to explore different things in the community garden. And of course she loves her time in the playground in the park every day. The owner, Sanjeev, is very knowledgeable with child development and is committed to make families feel like they belong to a community. The school is very diverse, which was something we were looking for. My daughter talks with so much joy about her school, her new friends and teachers, and is always excited at drop off and runs to hug her teacher every morning!
- AZAyesha ZaryabOct 14, 20225.0Goddard Fairfax is my daughter’s first preschool and first pre-K for the elder one. Undoubtedly, it has been the best experience so far; my kids love the teachers at Goddard love being at the school. Lesson plans are made well suited to every age group and the implementation is equally systematic. I love the concept of learning here which is assured through activities and interaction. Love being a part of Goddard family!
