The Goddard School

Exceptional Care and Loving Environment! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Goddard in San Ramon! From the moment we enrolled our son, we felt an overwhelming sense of comfort knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. The teachers are incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s well-being and development. Everyone at Goddard has been so amazing! Our son has faced some unique challenges, and the love, patience, and dedication of his teachers have made an incredible difference in helping him adjust at the daycare. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where he feels safe, happy, and engaged every day. I especially appreciate the open communication, daily updates, and the effort they put into planning creative activities that keep the children learning and thriving. It’s so fun for him that he was missing his school at our vacation! It's a blessing to find a daycare that not only provides excellent care but also feels like a second home. I wholeheartedly recommend Goddard to any parent looking for a place where their child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to flourish! Special shout out to Ms. Sam, Ms. Marina, Ms. Ingrid and Ms. Anju. My son also loves his Spanish lessons with Ms. Graciela!

I want to start by highly recommending The Goddard School, San Ramon and sharing our experience. I’d give more stars if that were an option! Moving from another city with a young child was a big step for us. It felt overwhelming, but we were comforted by Anju, the owner of The Goddard School. She was incredibly kind and patient, understanding our family’s needs. The transition was made so seamless and welcoming for us. Right from the beginning, even before our child started school, Anju made sure we had all necessary documents, giving us ample time and accommodating our busy schedule. About the school and its activities: The team is fantastic, and the teachers are well-educated. There are tons of activities, all following a curriculum-oriented approach. We receive daily updates on books read (in case we want to read them at home), songs, circle time, outdoor play, and fun indoor activities when the weather doesn’t allow outside time. Activities range widely—baking bread, painting, dancing, creative play, and so much more. With these daily updates, we feel connected and well-informed about our child’s day. This school is a very happy place filled with positive reinforcements and encouragement, and our daughter had a wonderful time here. We will miss the school and only wish we didn’t live so far away. Hence, I highly recommend this school for any parent looking for a supportive environment that promotes overall development for their child. Thank you so much, Anju and the entire team! And a special thanks for Andrea and Vaidehi (Class teachers of Parrots)!!

We had such a great experience at this school! We spent close to three years here with both of my kids, one starting in the infant room, and we were very pleased throughout our entire time here. My son who entered Kindergarten after attending this school was very well prepared and learned concepts beyond what was required to enter Kinder. My other child also excelled and was busy doing fun, hands-on learning all throughout the day. All of the staff and teachers we had the pleasure of working with were kind, warm, dedicated, and maintained a well structured curriculum. I would highly recommend!

Goddard has been such an amazing experience. Our son is thriving since he has been there for 8 months. He is the happiest I have ever seen him. He tells me all the time that he wants to go to school. That is a blessing. The staff are always willing to work with the parents. They are friendly and approachable and that is the kind of school/ daycare I wanted for my son.

We’re so happy here. The teachers are loving, genuinely care about the kids, and the school maintains high teacher:student ratios. I love the update they send through the day, and it’s cute to see how excited our child is to arrive each morning.
