I cannot say enough wonderful things about Goddard Thirdlake. From day one, the teachers and staff have been nothing short of loving, nurturing, and deeply invested in the well-being of every child who walks through their doors. They create a warm, supportive environment where kids feel safe, encouraged, and truly seen as individuals. Beyond the emotional care, the developmental foundation they’ve given my children has been extraordinary. Their thoughtful approach to early childhood education—blending play, structure, and curiosity—has helped my kids grow socially, emotionally, and academically in ways that exceeded every expectation. The educational experience at Goddard Thirdlake is truly top-notch. My son’s transition into public school has been seamless, and I fully credit the education he received there for the advanced placement he earned in two of his subjects. The preparation, enrichment, and confidence they instilled in him made all the difference. If you’re looking for a place where your children will be cherished, supported, and given an incredible start in life, Goddard Thirdlake is absolutely unmatched. We feel so grateful to be part of this community.
Should’ve posted this a long time ago. Best Daycare & Staff hands down. Worth every penny. We had our son join at 5 months old and the teachers in the 0-12months room are GAME CHANGERS. They make your child feel loved and taken care of. So thankful for the team of employees that make it so easy for my wife and I. Thank you Goddard💚
I absolutely love this daycare for our kids. We came from a daycare that completely neglected one of our children and it was heartbreaking. This daycare is clean, the teachers are super friendly and smart, and most importantly our kids feel at home when they are there. The teachers give lots of love and attention and they seem to genuinely care about their jobs. The cost is well worth it to know my kids are so well taken care of. Ever time one of my kids moves to a different classroom they want to go back and say hi to their teachers because they actually love them and formed bonds. Couldn't be happier.
We absolutely love this school. The teachers are warm, supportive, and truly invested in every child. Our little one is excited at drop-off and comes home happy and full of new things they’ve learned. The communication is great, the classrooms are clean and welcoming, and the care feels like an extension of home. We couldn’t imagine a better place for our kiddo. 💛
My son absolutely loved it there. The teachers, staff, and directors are phenomenal. Goddard was our fourth daycare due to Covid and moving - it was by far, the best daycare. The directors and staff constantly come up with new and engaging activities / curriculum for the kids during and after school hours such as foam parties, preschool prom and holiday parties. Great memories and great experience.
