The Goddard School

I can not say enough wonderful things about The Goddard School! When we first enrolled our 3 year old son, he was incredibly shy and reserved. At his previous daycare, our son would cry as soon as we turned into the parking lot, so naturally I worried about how he would adjust to a new environment and make friends.
A huge thank you to the staff and teachers, our son has absolutely blossomed. The genuine care and patience shown by Ms. Destiny and Ms. Hannah in particular have made all the difference. They have created a space where he feels safe and loved enough to come out of his shell, and the gains we've seen in him are just incredible. In fact, he loves his new school so much he is excited to go and runs into the classroom every morning.
Watching him find his confidence and become a happy, social little boy has truly restored my faith as a parent. This isn't just a...

I can not say enough wonderful things about The Goddard School! When we first enrolled our 3 year old son, he was incredibly shy and reserved. Drop off at his previous daycare was a nightmare, as he went in daily crying and looked so unhappy at pick up. I was truly worried about how he would adjust to a new environment and make friends.

But thanks to the teachers, he has absolutely blossomed. The genuine care and patience shown by Ms. Destiny and Ms. Hannah in particular have made all the difference. They created a space where he felt safe enough to come out of his shell, and the gains we've seen in him are just incredible. In fact, he is so excited about school and his new friends, that he runs into the classroom every morning.

I absolutely love Ms. Gabby and Ms. Jennifer in the Pre-K classroom! They have created such a caring, fun, and structured environment where my daughter, Harbor, truly thrives. Every day she comes home excited to share what she learned and always talks about how much she loves her teachers. Their patience, creativity, and kindness shine through in everything they do, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing Harbor is in such wonderful hands. We are so grateful for both of them!

Our 9-month-old son is in the Infant 2 class at The Goddard School of Alexandria, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. His lead teachers, Ms. Maribel and Ms. Charia, are both wonderful — they are patient, caring, and attentive to every detail.

As parents, it’s such a relief to know that our son is not only well cared for but also loved and nurtured every day. We’ve seen him grow, learn, and thrive in their classroom. The teachers create a safe, warm environment, and they truly treat the children as if they were their own.

Beyond the classroom, the overall quality of the teachers and staff at The Goddard School is outstanding. Everyone we’ve interacted with is professional, kind, and committed to giving the children the best possible care and education.

We are so grateful to have found a school with such dedicated educators. Thank you...

It is a good place for kids. We like warm and welcom personnel. They always greet each and every kid with their names. It seems like they know everyone. This immediately creates a very welcoming atmosphere. They have nice clean classes, a big room for gross motor activities and big outdoor shadowed playgrounds. My daughter is in class with Miss Saraih and Ms. Valerie. They are kind and know how to do fun for kids, which is very important for the three years old. They learning and playing activities look impressive. My daugher is still feeling hard when I leave her, but she looks absolutely happy in the class, when I pick her up. One more plus is that the administrative personnel in the morning helps to warm up kids in the classes where "additional love is needed" it is nice and it proves that the school cares.

Ms. Valerie & Ms. Saraih are great! They are my sons teacher and they are patient with helping him transition to preschool. I love watching what my
Son does during the day in the app and seeing all the pictures of his activities.

I really enjoy the school so far and watching him learn!

We are a new family of the Goddard Alx (West). Thus far our kiddos and family are really enjoying our experience! This school has some amazing staff and teachers. What we really appreciate is the that someone is always in the office to answer any administrative question. Ms. Traleece and Mrs. Andrea make you feel welcome and secure when you enter into the school.

Preschool Teachers, Ms. Lindsey and Ms. Shawntria are an amazing duo! They ensure we have pics, constant communication and ability to capture the “Big Moments” that happen while under their watch. Ms. Lindsey goes above and beyond to meet my child where they are emotionally, educationally and physically. I have a Dancer that is very STEAM focused! Ms. Lindsey challenges them to be independent. Ms. Shawntria creates a space of love and care. We love this team!

Baby II Teachers, Ms. Sasha and Ms. M!...

We enrolled in the infant 1 class with Ms. Michelle and Ms. Davon. Communication has been excellent and our baby appears to have enjoyed his class so far.

My daughter attended this school for 3 years and she loved every moment of it! The teachers are amazing and we love them so so much!

I was invited as a special guest to perform my bubble show for the school, The director Sarah and the entire staff were so kind, friendly and welcoming. The kids were highly enthusiastic about the show and had such a positive attitude. They were eager and curious to learn and participated in the show. Thank you so much for having me as a special guest I highly recommend.
