- IPIshara PremadasaNov 11, 20255.0We absolutely love Goddard School of Kirkland! The staff is wonderful - so patient and caring, especially during my toddler’s adapting period. They do lots of fun and educational activities, and I can already see how much my 2 yr old is learning and developing. The facility is clean, new, and very safe, which gives me great peace of mind. My little one loves going there every day to play with friends and teachers. They also have an optional lunch program with healthy food choices — as a working mom, that’s a huge plus! Highly recommend this place to any parent looking for a nurturing and high-quality childcare center.

My son has learned so much since starting—his confidence, communication, and social skills have all taken off, and he actually looks forward to going every day. It’s been amazing to see how much he’s thriving here, and I’d definitely recommend it to other parents.

The teachers and committee members are caring, attentive and always provide detailed daily updates about my son’s progress and activities, which gives us so much peace of mind. The founders are also very approachable and supportive, creating a warm and welcoming environment for both kids and parents. I truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism of the entire team. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing place for their child.
- ISira sharmaAug 28, 20255.0As an overprotective mom, it took a lot of trust for me to send my daughter to daycare after Covid, but from the very first day at The Goddard School I felt completely at ease. The staff and teachers went above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing environment where my daughter not only felt cared for but also thrived and learned every day. A special thank you to Miss Shweta for her patience and kindness in helping our daughter adjust those first few days—it truly made such a difference. We also loved seeing her excitement about the curriculum, especially the fun summer activities and hands-on science experiments. I was so grateful for the love and dedication the entire team showed. Knowing my daughter had been surrounded by people who genuinely cared gave me such peace of mind. Thank you, Goddard School, for making this such a positive experience for our family.
