Goddard School

Where do we even begin with Goddard? We have had an absolutely wonderful experience over the past two years. From the incredible owners, John and Amanda, to the amazing teachers like Ms. Carla and Ms. Kola, every single person has played a role in making our time here unforgettable. Our son has loved every moment since he started, and the growth we've seen in him—academically, socially, and emotionally—is truly unmatched. While I’ve mentioned just a few names, please know that this could easily turn into a novel if I listed every single person who has loved and cared for our son—from the dedicated office staff to all the teachers throughout the school. If you’re considering a place for your child for daycare, preschool, or kindergarten—look no further. Goddard is the place.

Goddard school of east Allen has been a wonderful part of our son’s early childhood. The staffs are caring, professional, and truly passionate about what they do. Every day, our son comes home smiling and full of stories about what he learned and did. It gives us so much peace knowing he’s in a safe, supportive, and enriching environment. We’re deeply grateful for all they’ve done for our family.

Our daughters have thrived here—emotionally, socially, and academically. The teachers are incredibly warm, attentive, and passionate about early childhood development. They create a nurturing and structured environment where our kids feel safe, loved, and eager to learn. We also really appreciate the daily updates and photos, which give us peace of mind and a window into their day. The curriculum is rich and well-balanced, blending fun activities with strong educational foundations. It’s not just daycare—it’s a place where learning and personal growth are at the heart of everything they do. The leadership team is responsive and involved, and communication with parents is excellent. We truly feel like partners in our children’s early education. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll at Goddard!

The Goddard School welcomed our family with open arms. The owners and staff are fantastic and great at communicating with families. Our family would recommend Goddard to anyone who wants to set their child up for success in elementary and have fun while doing it!

I truly can’t say enough good things about Goddard East Allen. My son has been attending since 2023. The owner Amanda is on site everyday and is truly a presence. She knows all kids by name and they enjoy going to her office to talk to her. The office staff (Allison, Melissa, and Paulina) are also so hands on, professional, and know all students. All of the teachers that my son has had have been nothing short of amazing. I was very hesitant putting my son in daycare due to his special needs, but they took him on with not only open arms, but proactively asked us how they can help him. He has truly thrived and it has been due to his teachers and all the other support staff and office staff that cheer him on and help him. He enjoys going to school everyday. It’s so evident that not only his current teachers, but the teachers he has had care about him. They also have really nice events that they plan, such as parents night out, breakfast with Santa, 5k walks/runs for a cause, touch-a-truck, the list goes on. I highly recommend this daycare, and can’t thank Goddard enough for helping my son thrive.
