Goddard School

Our twin daughters started the Goddard school in Exton at the age of 5 months old and are now 2 ½ years old and most recently our newest daughter started school at 5 ½ months old. I’m happy to say that they have received the most incredible care from all of the teachers at the Goddard School. My girls have learned things that I didn’t even know were possible to do and understand at such a young age. They come home happy every day and tell us all the wonderful things that they have learned from their teachers. The teachers really love their jobs and it shows in all of the time, effort and dedication they put into each and every day; making sure that every child learns, has fun and feels loved. In addition, our youngest always has a smile on her face when we pick her up. The Goddard in Exton also utilizes modern technologies that allows parents to receive pictures & videos throughout the day so that you can see what your child is up to – that alone is priceless to get a peek i more

""I feel like both of my children are getting a well rounded learning experience as well as the benefits of social interaction at Goddard. The teachers are all so welcoming and caring about all of the children and I always feel like I am leaving my children in the best, most capable hands each day. Everyone at the school (teachers, helpers, directors) knows me and my kids so it feels a lot like family.” more

My twins have been at Goddard Exton since they were 6 months old. I trust their staff like my family. The girls love going to school, and they love their teachers. Where else can you go that includes music, yoga, and karate? They are learning how to play chess right now and they love it. We looked at about six other schools before Goddard, and I left every one of them in tears. This was the only school we liked, and I am so happy our girls are there! more

We love Goddard! My 23 month old daughter has been there since she was 18 months old (we had moved from Boston to PA at that time). She goes to Goddard part time, 2 full days a week and LOVES school days. She comes home talking about her teachers and friends, and singing the new songs she's learned. The activities/curriculum is really impressive and she really has a blast at school. \r \r Moving here quickly, I did a lot of online research and spoke with pretty much every daycare in the area over the phone. Goddard went out of the way to answer all of my questions and make us feel like our daughter would be well cared for--and that has been the case from day one. I really can't say enough great things about this place. Every transition, from when she first started after our move, to moving to a new classroom as she grows, is handled smoothly and with such care. The teachers are all so loving, welcoming, and professional. The administration is incredibly hands on and responsive. \r \r Every day we get photos from her class throughout the day (it is the best) and at the end of the day an emailed record of the day's activities, and a log of her nap, what she ate, and her diaper changes. Goddard sold me over the phone when I was first researching, and the not only have met my very high expectations, they have absolutely exceeded them. more

The staff at the Goddard School in Exton are like a second family to my children. When I drop my son and daughter off in the morning they are excited to see their teachers and classmates and they are always greeted with a smile and a hug. My children are happy, well-cared for, and both excel at their individual milestones. Every child attending this school is celebrated for their individuality and special care is taken to make all children feel included. The school has equipped us with great life lessons as my daughter reminds us regularly ""we don't have best friends, everyone is our friend"" and ""you get what you get and you don't get upset""! The school has partnered with us to provide the best care for our children. We are thrilled to receive several daily updates and photos which enable us to share in our children's day and encourage great dinner table conversation. I couldn't be happier with the care being provided for our children and would highly recommend the Goddard School in Exton to friends and family. more

I love pretty much everything about this school. I like that my daughters are happy and excited to go to school and come home telling me what they did during the day. I love all the things that the girls are learning at school and the social skills they are learning too. We have been going to the Goddard School-Exton for 2 1/2 yrs. more

""Awesome teachers and work very well with my child and his needs.Very Educational lessons and activities starting at a young age. He comes home happy and wanting to go back which makes you feel beter as a parent having to leave your child. Highly recommend to any parent!""\r \r more

As first time parents, my husband and I were new to the daycare scene and were unsure where to place our daughter. After visiting Goddard Exton and another school in the area, we decided to place her with our first visit and first choice. That was seven months ago. \r \r I can say without reservation that sending our little one to Goddard Exton was the best choice we ever made. From her first day at eight weeks old, we knew she was at the right place. The owners, director, and staff are kind and supportive. Our daughter has thrived during her time there and we are thrilled with her developmental progress. \r \r As a working mom, I feel totally comfortable with her teachers and am confident that I'm leaving her in capable, loving hands during the day. I would recommend Goddard Exton to anyone. more

I can't imagine that there is anywhere you need to see five stars more than the facility that cares for your children. After having chosen a mid-priced daycare and experiencing a nightmarish incident with our seven month old, we found ourselves searching for a new care facility. You cannot judge on tuition alone, you must tour the competition. When you do, you will find that Goddard stands out like a beacon guiding you home. We LOVE Goddard and so does our son. The owners, director and teachers all genuinely care about our child and he has never been happier in the care of others. We are fairly certain he'd rather be playing at school than home with us. :)\r \r When we called for a comparison of tuition and care, we made lists of daycare facilities to consider. Only after meeting with Melissa, Wendy and Stephanie at Goddard did we realize that there is no comparison. Yoga, Music, Petting Zoo Visits, Sign Language, Art, Parent Days, Slumber Parties, Fairs and so much more. Goddard at Exto more

I highly recommend the Goddard School in Exton as one of the highest quality and professionally run private daycare facilities in the area. It is filled with smiles, giggles, and amazing teachers in an extremely nice facility that is warm and welcoming. My son began attending as an infant and graduated from their outstanding Junior Kindergarten program in June 2012, fully ready for First Grade. The staff have become like family and are truly amazing and caring people. They have always done everything to ensure our highest levels of satisfaction. The Goddard School in Exton is a one-of-a-kind facility and my family is very grateful to have been a part of it for 6 years. We have gained so much that we can take with us, most importantly an amazing foundation for our child. Take a visit and you will see how special it truly is! more

The Goddard School in Exton is an amazing preschool! The staff is extremely friendly and professional, the building is very clean and the family community is exceptional. Children are thriving there you can't make a better choice! more

HANDS DOWN the best preschool in the area! My 18 mos daughter is attending Goddard School at Exton and everything about it is what we have been looking for. Dedicated and caring teachers, professional owners, detailed daily reports, healthy snacks and a genuine feeling of "I know my daughter is thriving and safe and having fun today." When you walk in the door, it feels homey and just all around comfortable. The teachers do a great job of making my daughter feel special and welcome every day she comes to school. Any requests, as small as they may seem, (my daughter started hitting and throwing food at home so I asked the teachers to watch & discipline if needed) have been taken seriously and they do a great job maintaining that consistency :) I drive by a handful of daycare centers to take my daughter here and without a doubt, worth driving out of the way to come here! more

#1 Choice - Amazing experience for both of my children! My oldest (now 6) attended from 4 months until he was 5 years old! My little one (now 3) attended since was an infant and is now in the PreSchool room. I can't say enough about how thrilled i am with our choice to attend Goddard School at Exton. I interviewed 13 other local daycares and am very confident i choose the best one for my children! I love: the quiet location and security of the school (peaceful and roomy playgrounds for the children to enjoy), the cleanliness of the school (need i say more?), the programs included (such as yoga and music - my 3 year old loves these!! - and healthy snacks too!), the longevity and warmth of the teachers (this helps with the mother's guilt everyday - it really makes you feel better when your child asks if the teachers can come home with us on the weekend!), the community feeling of the school, the parents, and teachers (both my children and i have made many lifelong friends here :)), the onsite owners/directors are awesome! (i trust them 100% and know they have the kids best interest in mind every single day), the learning enrichment is amazing - did i mention that my 5 year old graduated their Pre-K program and could read chapter books, do addition and subtraction and enjoyed it!! :o) I am so happy! In fact, we've since moved a bit further away...and would never even consider switching to another school - i know that my child is safe, happy and developing advanced skills to give him an advantage when he is ready to start primary school. I would absolutely recommend this school! more

My niece is having a blast at The Goddard School this summer! She came to visit this summer and I enrolled her in the part time summer program in Exton. It has exceeded our expectations! She is already asking if she can come back and go next summer! She is impressed with the days full of fun and I'm equally as impressed with what she's learning! They have truly defined learning through play for our family! Hats off to the Goddard School in Exton! more

Wow-I just read the review regarding a mom's infant daughter who was injured. I can say I worked at this school for 4 years- only a few months with the owner as we were corporate before. Unfortunately, there are just too many babies in one room. There were 12 at the time (with 4 caregivers) and even though that is within Pa ratio, it is ridiculous. My own daughter is 4, and I would never, ever choose to have had her in that type of environment. -nor would I want her in a room of 20 children..her preschool classroom only has 11 as the maximum. \r Anyway, I see the pros and cons, but the owner's response does not surprise me one bit! She was not a very nice person, in my opinion, and I could totally see her acting as described. It was a business to her, and unfortunately, that is what many of the area daycares are. I had my daughter in a private home for 2 1/2 yrs and I would do nothing less for my son who is now a year old should I need care. It's a joke that it is called a "private pres more

horrible\r The staff are ill treated, yelled at, denied bathroom breaks, very low morale among the staff. All live in fear of losing their jobs.\r Goddard has a reputation of not being able to keep staff, constant\r turnover is not good for the children. And believe me it is about\r the money, not the children. Never trust a for profit day care. more

Ever since the first day I sent my son to The Goddard School of Exton, I have been thrilled with the level of education, nurturing and attention the staff provides! From the age of 4 months through Kindergarten, my son loved being at this school, and that is due to the love and interest the teachers took in him, and all the students. When I first heard of the school, my expectations were high ? the curriculum and teachers managed to surpass my expectations! The friendly staff combines fun and learning from the very beginning in the infant room, and their passion for teaching and child development is evident every single day! The teachers and director truly love what they do, and that is why the children benefit so much. I would recommend The Goddard School of Exton to all those parents who want the BEST learning experience for their children. My son just graduated and I already miss the teachers! I?m expecting my second child in 3 months and I cannot wait to go back to Goddar more

We love the Goddard School in Exton. Our daughter has already graduated and our son currently attends. Both started in the infant room. They have weekly visitors which is fun and they learn so much every day. Would definitely recommend this school to anyone. All of the teachers & owners are wonderful and super friendly! more

I would recommend The Goddard School of Exton to anyone. We sent all 3 children to this school, starting at 4 mths and going all the way through Kindergarten. Believe me- other schools don't compare to the level of academics they received here, as well as how loved and nutured they were by all of the teachers. Our children still ask to go visit all of the teachers and Ms. Wendy at the Goddard School. To me, that's the biggest endorsement you can get- they are off to elementary school but still talk about how much they love this place!! We were lucky to find such a loving, great environment for our children. We'll miss you! more
