The Goddard School

I have been so grateful for the amazing teachers and staff at Goddard. My daughter has thrived there, I only wish they had kindergarten so she could continue at this school. The teachers are engaged and kind and patient and are so great at adjusting to individual children’s needs. The facility is clean and safe and a great combination of traditional and modern teaching.

Disappointed – Poor Communication, Safety Concerns, and Unclean Environment. I’m very disappointed with my experience at The Goddard School in Rancho Cordova. Despite multiple emails and attempts to address my concerns, there has been no genuine effort from the owner, Bill Pu, or the front staff, Ms. Selena and Ms. Kaitlyn, to meet, communicate effectively, or resolve ongoing issues. My concerns around safety and cleanliness were repeatedly brushed off, and it’s clear that communication and accountability are not priorities here. Before enrolling, several parents had warned us about their negative experiences, but we wanted to give the school a fair chance — unfortunately, those warnings proved true. The classrooms are dirty and outdated, and overall, the environment does not reflect the level of care and attention that parents expect from a school of this reputation. That said, the only true positive from our experience was the Joyful Jaguars classroom team — Ms. Emerald, Ms. Ghoa, and Ms. Tsogik. These three teachers are incredibly hardworking, loving, and dedicated. They genuinely care about the children and consistently go above and beyond. Their warmth and professionalism were the highlight of our time here. Since we’ve moved our toddler to a new school, we’ve noticed a significant positive change — the difference has been eye-opening and only confirms how concerning our experience at Goddard Rancho Cordova truly was. I sincerely hope the ownership and administration take this feedback seriously and begin prioritizing communication, safety, and cleanliness for the well-being of both students and staff.

We couldn’t be happier with our daughter’s experience at Goddard School! The staff are wonderful, and she is truly thriving and developing every day. The education program is excellent, and it’s clear how much thought and care goes into supporting each child’s growth. We are so grateful for the nurturing environment and the quality of care and development they provide. Highly recommend!

Our son transitioned to this School after being in an in home daycare. He was wasn't quiet 2 years old yet, but quickly began to talk more, share better, and nap more consistently. He has come to love his friends and teachers alike. Dropping you kids off at daycare is never a fun thing to do, but dropping him off at Goddard is easy knowing the level of care that they provide.

We love Goddard school in Rancho Cordova! My son has been enrolled for almost a year now and so far he has received great care. I love how secure the school is and how clean and organized as well. They keep parents involved and communication is excellent. They have great learning lessons for the kids and the teachers are wonderful. My son has learned so much already.
