The Goddard School

My son had an incredible experience during his time at The Goddard School. We are very grateful for the supporting environment that it presented for him and would highly recommend to anyone needing a program for their pre-kindergartener to allow for earlier opportunities to build routine, socialize with peers, and practice being in a school-like setting.

As first-time daycare parents, choosing where to leave our son was one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever made. Handing your baby to someone else for the first time requires an incredible amount of trust, and from the moment we joined Goddard Hickory Flat, that trust was earned.

Our son started here in June 2025, and tomorrow is his last day as we transition to a school closer to our new home. Leaving is bittersweet because this school has been such a meaningful part of our family’s journey.

Ms. Charlene has been nothing short of a gift from God. She was our son’s very first caregiver outside of our family, and I truly cannot imagine a better person to have filled that role. She loved him so gently, celebrated every milestone, comforted him through hard moments, and helped him grow into a confident, happy little boy who loves school. Her patience, kindness,...

My oldest son enrolled in Goddard in August of 2023. I had concerns because of his special needs. My oldest some began in the one year old classroom and will be transitioning to Pre-K. I cannot say enough GREAT things about all of his teachers. He has learned so much and has grown emotionally, socially, and cognitively. Our second son was born in October 2024 and started the infant room in January 2025z I never worry about leaving our boys as I know our boys are being well taken care of and learning. The administrators are always willing to help and are communicative. Wouldn’t have my boys anywhere else.

Jacie and Maia are the best! Our child love these 2 teachers. The care they give and teachings they have guven our child is amazing

After a terrible experience at another local daycare, Goddard has been a breath of fresh air. Their teachers are wonderful, my son learns so much, and has the best time with all the fun activities they host.

My son has been attending the Goddard School in Hickory Flat for almost a year now. I toured a few daycares before I settled on this one because from the moment I stepped into the school, I felt a peace and reassurance that I didn't feel at the other places and I knew that my child would be in good hands.The level of quality, care, and attention that he receives from his teachers and from the staff are top notch. My son is excited to go to class every day and he has flourished socially and academically. He has made so many friends and he continues to surprise me with his growth and achievements. We love the Goddard School! Highly recommend sending your children here, you won't be disappointed.

We came from a different Goddard that was a bit further away. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Everything is how we wished it to be. Our son loves it and the staff all seem to be happy to be there which is important to me.

We are so grateful for our experience at The Goddard School of Hickory Flat. The teachers and staff created a caring, supportive environment where our child grew in confidence, independence, and a love of learning. He is more than ready for kindergarten, and we could not have asked for a better place to spend these early years. We will always recommend The Goddard School of Hickory Flat to other families!

Friendly staff that is always attentive. My son LOVES it here. Last place he was at he would hold on to my leg when I dropped him off but here, he feels a lot more comfortable and he’s excited to be there!

We’re very happy with the level and care and engagement that goes into our sons day to day
