- BJBrittany Jackson2 days ago5.0The infant class seriously has the best teachers. They are so caring and great people. Ms. Wafaa, Ms. Amber, & Ms. Alexis are all so great! Just really wished lunch was provided
- MTMadina Tarin2 days ago5.0All 3 of my children have been Goddard kids! My eldest used to go to the Goddard located in Midlothian, and after moving to the Glen Allen area it only felt right to bring my other two to Goddard once their time came. My youngest has been going to Goddard ever since he was 10 weeks old! Every teacher and staff at the school is well experienced and very personable and professional. I felt so nervous leaving my newborn after my maternity leave ended, but the infant teacher had so much experience and had worked there for so many years. It really put my mind at ease. I can’t say enough good things about this school, they’re the best!

- CBCaleb BurtonSep 19, 20255.0Our son has been attending Goddard for a little over a month now and I can honestly say all of the staff are nothing but amazing. From the moment you walk through the door you feel welcome and safe.

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them.
