The Goddard School In Avon Lake

We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our child has received here. Since starting, he has made incredible progress and is thriving in such a nurturing environment. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely care about his development. He’s always so happy when we pick him up, and it’s clear he’s forming strong bonds with the wonderful team. Highly recommend Goddard School in Avon Lake!

As a very anxious mom, my almost 2 year old daughter has been attending AL Goddard for around 5 months now. I honestly couldn’t be happier. We have no issues at drop offs, she goes right up to the teachers with ease. I have no worries about her or her safety while she is there. They keep me informed, it’s very clean, and all of the staff are very warm and welcoming. This is a great place to bring your child.

Our family has been with Goddard Avon Lake since they very first opened. Our littlest guy will graduate soon which means we will no longer be a Goddard family and that truly makes us sad! I think that says a lot. Eric, Mel, Katie, Robin and the rest of the team have become trusted members of our family over the years! Some highlights of my weekdays include catching up with Mel at drop off or Robin and Eric at pick up! They make every effort to do the right thing for each child under their care. The Goddard team develops authentic, meaningful relationships with the kiddos and their families. Nobody will love your child like you do, but I do believe the Goddard team is close behind. Whenever we encountered a concern, we were able to bring it to Eric and his leadership team to have a conversation. Our concerns were always taken seriously, handled professionally, and next steps were taken when appropriate. Nobody is perfect, which certainly includes me/parents, and things will happen. However, Goddard Avon Lake has earned our faith and trust that any issues will be addressed. We drop off our little and have complete faith that he is being left in a clean, safe environment that fosters his growth and education every single day. Thank you Eric, Mel, Robin, and each teacher Goddard that have cared for both of our boys over the years.

My son loves this school. I am really happy with the level of communication from the owner, Eric and his staff. Everyone in general is super friendly. The school also does a lot of extra events like water days and prom and Halloween trunk or treat. It's a great daycare!

We've had the unfortunately experience (due to COVID and relocation) of sending our kids to 4 different preschools over the last few years. We've had varying degrees of success, but the folks at Goddard are wonderful! The place is clean. The staff are friendly. You can tell that they enjoy what they do and care for the kids. Our boys like going to school (this hasn't been the case at the other schools). And there is also a good bit more academic rigor. We can tell that our boys are learning and growing.
