The Goddard School

My family has been with The Goddard School for almost a year now, and we absolutely love it. The staff are incredible, very welcoming, and always greet us on our way and out. I am in awe at how they remember everyone’s names, and their kindness. It is not just the excellent care and cleanliness of the facility, but their thoughtfulness in both small and big ways. There are curated events for all ages, celebrations of their teachers, and the daily sticker give away to any and all kids as they head out. We want to give a special shout out to our son’s teachers Ms. Helen and Ms. Crystal who take great care of him. We also want to thank Ms. Kassie, Ms. Lashasha, and Ms. Amanda. Last, special thanks for Ms. Keke who makes sure everyone is fed.

Thank you Goddard School for all you do! We really appreciate you.

I feel incredibly grateful to have Ms. Mary Bolton as my child’s Pre-K II teacher. From the very first day, she created a warm, nurturing, and joyful environment where my child felt safe, seen, and excited to learn. Her patience, creativity, and genuine love for her students shine through in everything she does—whether it's story time, messy crafts, or teaching the ABCs. My son loves her and talks about her everyday. I am genuinely comfortable having my child in the care of Ms. Mary and I am glad that I chose The Goddard School.

Our son has had a great experience here. The teachers, aides and front office staff have made this a nurturing environment that he thrives in. He especially loves his teacher Ms. Lizzet, who is incredible with the kids. Highly recommend!

Our journey with The Goddard School began when our son started in the Infant room at just 10 weeks old. From day one, every teacher has been kind, attentive, and truly invested in the well-being of the children. Their support through each transition has been invaluable, always keeping open communication.
Now, nearly three years later, we continue to love our daycare experience. The teachers are incredibly patient, creative, and always coming up with fun activities that keep our little one engaged. Every day after school, he excitedly asks to see “pictures at school” and talks nonstop about his friends and teachers.
A special thank you to all the teachers especially for Ms. Kaelyn and Ms. Brittany, who make each day a learning adventure and have played such an important role in helping our son grow.

We’ve been part of this school for almost four years now, and it’s truly felt like a second home for our family. Our daughter got the best possible start in Pre-K with Ms. Mary. She’s one of those rare teachers who’s not only kind and loving but also genuinely connected to her students. Even now, in kindergarten, our daughter still lights up when she sees her, and Ms. Mary always takes a moment to say hello. That kind of connection doesn’t fade—it shows just how special she is.
With our son now at the school, we’ve felt that same care from so many others. Ms. Lindsey and Ms. Shawntria have been incredibly patient and supportive, especially when he had a tough time settling in. And Ms. Andrea, the school director, has been amazing—she’s built such a warm, understanding space where we always feel seen and supported.
We also want to give a special shout-out to Ms. Shantel....

I am absolutely thrilled with the care and education my children receive at The Goddard School Alexandria West! My kids have thrived in their nurturing and stimulating environments.

My oldest child is so happy in their class with Ms. Gabby and Ms. Jennifer. They create such a positive and engaging atmosphere, and my child looks forward to going to school every day.

My middle child is with Ms. Janelle and Ms. Rana. I am so grateful for their kindness and patience. They provide a warm and supportive environment for him to thrive.

My youngest is with Ms. Michelle, Ms. Whitney, and Ms. Tina. I am amazed at how much they do with the little ones.

The teachers are all so dedicated, caring and attentive. I feel completely confident leaving my children in their hands. The school is clean, well-organized and provides a wide range of enriching...

Goddard has the BEST teachers. My grandson, Matthew Demus, loves Ms Lizette. He picked shells for her during our vacation and she makes his day so special--EVERY day.

Our experience with Goddard has been nothing short of phenomenal. It has been amazing to see our child’s development grow exponentially since the end of the pandemic to now. Thanks to the nurturing environment, staff, and teachers like Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Gabby, we feel so blessed to have an extended family at Goddard Alexandria-West.
