The Goddard School Of Pickerington

I moved my kids to Goddard after the new director at KinderCare Cross Creeks made changes that negatively impacted my oldest son who had been attending for over 3 years. One of the main reasons we chose Goddard is because of the teachers. The staff has been wonderful and have helped us have a smooth transition. I have seen a big improvement in my 3.5 year old's behavior, and my infant is thriving because of the teachers and environment. I highly recommend Goddard. The price is comparable to other child card centers in the area.

We moved our son to Goddard Pickerington beginning of January 2026 after KinderCare Cross Creeks got a new unqualified director and made changes to the classrooms that impacted our son. One of the main reasons we chose Goddard Pickerington is because of the on-site owner Sarah having the knowledge, experience and compassion of running a daycare. A bonus was, one of my sons classrooms friend from KinderCare had already committed to Goddard Pickerington. The Goddard staff has been welcoming and have helped us have a smooth transition. My son rarely napped at daycare and he has napped daily at Goddard due to their magic touch! 🥰 We highly recommend Goddard.

We have been coming to Goddard for a little over 8 years. We have 2 girls and we have always been very happy with the care that they receive, the communication and the community that they help build. We have met life long friends for our children and ourselves. We will always be grateful for Goddard Pickerington.

The friendliest, the most helpful staff on the planet! I have three kids, and the price is astronomical, but I would pay more if I needed to because of how dedicated their whole team is to my kid's success. We get lots of pictures and feedback (good and bad), and I would keep the kids there if we can figure out a way to stop them from growing so fast! I also love how they can balance learning for different learning styles. For example, my son needs to see something once, and he can teach it. But my daughter requires much more attention, and I feel like she gets it so she doesn't fall behind. Shout out to Sarah, Ashley, Courtney, Kelly, Jeremiah, and Jen for keeping my kids out of jail.

I wouldn’t recommend this daycare. Communication with parents is consistently lacking—questions often go unanswered, and important updates are either delayed or not shared at all. This makes it difficult for parents to feel informed or confident about their child’s day. There also seemed to be frequent staff turnover, which led to inconsistency in care and routines over time. Kids thrive on stability, and that was clearly missing here with both the “old team” and “new staff members”. Classroom organization and supervision was a concern; things often felt chaotic rather than structured and nurturing. Often times children that should be protected were left unsupervised and school leadership lacks accountability and empathy. We made them aware of incidents, they chose to disregard. Keep looking, there are better options!
