Best

We have had the best teachers! Miss Cindy and Miss Maria have treated our daughter like she was one of their own. They are clearly teaching her new things because every day she is...

Worst

Unfortunately I must revise my 5* rating downward. Although the curriculum is great and everyone is very nice here, the turnover is very high--at least in my daughter's todler roo...

Very wonderful preschool program! 12/22/2007

It is crazy to say that you'll see anything different at the Goddard School during the day seeing as how tours are given only during the day when parents are not coming in and out, and prospective parents are welcome to walk-in for a tour at anytime. I've been in twice for a tour, once before my baby was born, and then when we were ready to enroll (which we did!). Both times we were unexpected, and at least one other parent came in both times for the same reason. The program in the morning, afternoon and throughout the day is exactly what I've been told it would be. My son has learned so much and runs into his teacher's arms every morning. Believe me, this preschool will make you happy you chose the program! more

Wonderful School! 12/13/2007

It is shocking to see how many parents speak negatively about this school. I am a first time mother and enrolled my daughter in this school when she was 8 months old. The infant room has a phenomenal program. My daughter knows sign language and her motor skills are improving every day. The classroom is always filled with projects the kids created during the week and has a very comfortable atmosphere. My daughter loves all three of her teachers and has become comfortable around the other children. Of course when you observe the room, there may be children crying, but you can't make every child happy all the time. The teacher do the best they can, and do a wonderful job at it. The facility itself is always clean and the security is above and beyond Tutor Time, La Petite or even the "Mom and Pop" daycares. I would highly recommend this school to any parent. more

We just started here 8/29/2007

I am surprised to see some of the really negative comments about this school. Our child just started attending this school and I like the teachers and staff as well as the program itself. It is really a a homey feeling place with grass instead of the wood chips that you see at other places. I have I admit seen the inside door unattended at lunch time and off times so I guess we will keep a watch on that. The good thing is that there is a new Goddard School opening soon so we can always transfer there! more

Wonderful school and teachers! 8/21/2007

This is a wonderful school and program. I have had terrible experiences at other schools, and the Goddard School has been an answer to my prayers. It is such a good feeling going to work knowing that your child is safe in a school where the teachers are educated, the ratios are lower, the management is diligent and thoughtful, and the cleanliness is impeccable... Check out this school; you won't be disappointed! more

This school is AWESOME! In every way! 8/21/2007

My child has attended the Goddard School in Gilbert for almost 2 years now and it has been an amazing experience! The review questioning the security of the school must be referring to another preschool. The Goddard School has the MOST SECURE facility in the valley. No other system could be more safe. There is a double door system and the second is ALWAYS secure until a live person specifically identifies you and allows entrance. This is far more secure than codes or swipe cards where people notoriously piggy back off each other. Also, the health and safety standards as well as teacher qualifications and curriculum are unmatched! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Lastly, the staff is very friendly and caring. I am so comfortable and happy leaving my child at this school! more

My daughter loves the school!! 5/15/2007

My 3 year old daughter has been going to this school (Higley) for almost a year and we have been nothing more than pleased with the school. Being a social worker myself, I have had to frequently tour and work with daycare staff for my job. I looked at many pre-schools/daycares before choosing Goddard and was concerned with what I saw in the others. I stop in at all times of the day morning, afternoon, nap, lunch...due to my schedule - and the class is always under control and the children look happy and engaged. My daughter loves her class and I always feel good leaving her there! more

I would not recommend this school either 2/23/2007

I had my two year old son attending the Goddard school when it first opened and was pleased at first. When we pulled him out, it was because of the high teacher turnover. They do have some really good teachers there, but that is the minority. They also seemed to cut back on supplies and toys etc. for the kids-many old worn out looking toys and not very clean classrooms. The front office seems to turn over frequently as well. Not a good place to consider taking your child. more

New preschool - very nice program with a high price tag 11/29/2005

We received an invitation in the mail for the open house of the new The Goddard School in the area. Since we have been thinking about possibly having my daughter start preschool part-time, we decided to check it out. We were given a tour by David Soto, the owner of the school. He was very friendly and answered all of our questions. The school itself was very clean and organized well as well as secure. The programs they offered seemed to be very educational and the training/certification the teachers have to have is a plus. We were definitely considering enrolling, until we found out the price tag...very expensive! more
