The Goddard School of Yorktown has been a wonderful experience for our family. The teachers are caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth—academically, socially, and emotionally. The classrooms are warm, engaging, and well-organized, and it’s clear that a lot of thought goes into creating a safe and enriching environment for the students. The leadership at the school really stands out. Bob is approachable, professional, and genuinely invested in the success of the children and staff. He helps set a positive tone throughout the school, and it shows in the strong sense of community. We were genuinely sad we had to move out of state and were no longer able to send our daughter here, as this school has meant so much to our family and her development. We highly recommend the Goddard School of Yorktown to other families.
This was a wonderful school for our daughter, and it's regrettable that we had to move away from the area and withdraw her. The school is well organized and the staff clearly put a lot of effort into maintaining a clean and safe learning environment. Our daughter had a good relationship with her teachers and learned a lot from them during her time there.
What a fabulous institution. Childcare can bring on a range of emotions in parents and this is understandable. The team at The Goddard School is exceptional in their approach to everything involving childcare. Your child's holistic development is something they pride themselves on and you won't be disappointed. 😊
Love the Goddard school! Their schedule is consistent and my son is always learning something new. Their schedule class sizes are smaller with plenty of staff. They’re always planning fun family activities to keep the whole school more of a community.
We loved Goddard and were sad to leave when moved out of state! Our 3 children attended Goddard for a little under 2 years and we experienced 5 classrooms (infant through toddler). All of the classrooms were lovely with caring, sweet teachers who loved on our babies while we had to work! I appreciated the updates at the end of the day on the app including pictures. The front desk staff and owner Bob were great with helping us navigate Childcare Aware and would always let us know if there were any bumps or scratches even if minor. We liked the curriculum and our kids would surprise us sometimes with what they had learned and retained! We would highly recommend Goddard to any friends!
