The Goddard School

My son (5months) started 2 weeks ago at Goddard. I, like many parents, was nervous about sending my baby off to daycare. But I am so beyond pleased with the staff at Goddard. They have been amazing and far exceeded my expectations. I couldn't get my baby to take a bottle which is what made me so nervous, but by week two, he is drinking 5oz. I can't believe it! and it is all thanks to Ms. Brittney who is amazing. From the activities they do, to the communication, it has just been incredible so far. Would highly recommend to anyone considering.

We’ve been with Goddard for quite a while, and I’ve seen both challenges and improvements over the years. Right now, I’m really impressed with how things are going. The teachers have been wonderful with my kids — patient, caring, and genuinely invested in their growth. Both of my children come home happy and engaged, and I can see the progress in their confidence and learning. It’s clear that the staff are working hard to create a positive environment, and it shows in how my kids respond. I’m glad we’ve stayed with Goddard and I can honestly say it’s been a good experience for our family.

Teachers that care and love your child as their own, clean and fun environment, adjust to the needs of your family, healthy food options, and incorporate a fun educational curriculum. I could not be happier with my experience! We've been going to Goddard for over a year and have loved our experience with each teacher. As a first-time mom, the transition to daycare can cause anxiety, but nothing brought me more comfort than the teachers who patiently learned all of my child's cues, provided updates, and helped us navigate every new skill. Additionally, when we were ready to graduate to the next room, the staff and teachers organized for our child to visit the next room regularly so that the transition was seamless. I'm constantly at awe on how the teachers manage children with unique needs and desires while also delivering curriculum. My toddler comes home each day ready to show off a new skill - whether it's jumping, a new word, counting, or even a little spanish. Thankful for Goddard and all they do!

I am so grateful for The Goddard School in Stafford. From day one the teachers and staff have shown that they truly love and care for children. My kiddos are welcomed each day with warmth, patience, and genuine affection, which gives me so much peace as a parent. The environment is safe, nurturing, and thoughtfully structured, and I can see how much my child is growing. Knowing my child is loved, supported, and celebrated every day means everything to our family. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent looking for a place where their child will truly be cared for.

As a first time mom, the decision of choosing a childcare provider was daunting and stressful. I’m happy to say that after my first tour of Goddard in Stafford, all of my fears were calmed and since my son started in January of 2025, we have had nothing but an amazing experience. My son’s teachers, Ms. Brittany and Ms. Maddie, have fostered such a phenomenal learning and growing environment for all of the babies, not just mine. He has developed so many new skills and improved on others simply by being around other children and in a stimulating and nurturing environment during the day. Despite having a full classroom, Brittany and Maddie always know exactly how my son acted, ate, and slept each day so that we can discuss at pickup. They are aware of his needs and what would help him to do even better. They go above and beyond for every child and it’s been such a comfort to me as a first time parent. As my son transitions into a new classroom with more children his age, I look forward to seeing even more growth and new milestones and memories made. Thank you to the entire Goddard School of Stafford staff for such an easy transition and such a supportive, friendly, and helpful team making sure my baby is take care of and loved each day when I can’t be with him. Sincerely, Taylor Embler
