- MHMary HalloranOct 15, 20255.0My daughter has been going to school at Goddard Renton for over one year and we are very happy with the school. When my daughter first joined around 18 months, she was nervous and withdrawn with the big change after being at home 24/7. A few months later, she’s now a thriving chatterbox who is excited to go to school everyday. The teachers and staff here are attentive and kind and the facility is EXTREMELY clean! Im very happy we chose this school.
- RORime Oujdi-SilvaOct 13, 20255.0Our daughter has been at the Renton Goddard for almost a year and loves it! The school is very clean, organized and the people really care about the children’s wellbeing. I highly recommend it!
- KDKellen-Cherie DiazAug 22, 20255.0We love the Goddard School in Renton! My son started full-time daycare here at around 20 months after being home with me 24/7, and while the transition was tough at first, the staff made it so much easier. Ms. Katia comforted him during drop-offs, Ms. Diana (his primary teacher) kept me updated on his progress, and Ms. Ramneek encouraged me with reassurance that things would get easier—and she was right! Within a few weeks, he was settled in and now looks forward to going every day. I also appreciate the detailed daily reports that include his activities, meals, diaper changes, nap times, and photos—it gives me peace of mind knowing how his day went. The staff are all so welcoming, caring, and attentive, and the facility itself is clean, bright, and a wonderful environment for my son to learn and grow.
- EEEmAug 21, 20255.0We are SO happy we chose the Goddard school for our son! They are incredibly kind, allergy-friendly, and one of the best schools in town. We were nervous about starting daycare, and they helped both us and our son transition seamlessly to a new routine. I would absolutely recommend this school to any of my friends without hesitation.
- SMSusan MehainAug 20, 20255.0We are so happy with our decision to choose Goddard in Renton. The facility is clean and safe, the staff are very friendly, and communication is prompt. The teachers in the infant room are amazing. Our son (and all of the other babies there) clearly love them and are happy and comfortable. The transition from infant to the next room was made smooth and with as little stress as possible as well. Would definitely recommend!
