- AMAlejandra Medina3 days ago5.0My daughter absolutely loves this school. The teachers are amazing and make learning so much fun!
- FFFeiOct 22, 20255.0Our daughter recently started at The Goddard School, and it’s been such a wonderful experience! This is her first time in a preschool environment, and she absolutely loves it. She adores both of her teachers, Ms. Darcy and Mr. Kelly — they’ve been so kind, patient, and nurturing. We’ve seen her learning and growing so much already, and it truly makes us happy to see how excited she is to go to school each day. I especially appreciate how the teachers share photos and updates — it’s such a joy to see her smiling, learning, and having fun throughout the day. The environment at Goddard is warm, caring, and perfectly suited to help her feel loved and supported. We couldn’t be happier with our experience so far and are so grateful for the amazing team who makes it all possible!

- LBLeighton,Tess BrownOct 15, 20255.0Goddard School of Manassas has surpassed our expectations! Our daughter enjoys it so much she often doesn’t want to leave and wants us to play with her and her classmates at pickup time. Ms. Darcy and Mr. Kelly have made her feel right at home and we can clearly see how much she trusts and looks up to her teachers. We are so glad we chose Goddard!
