The Goddard School

I have been so impressed by the Goddard School and have had a great experience here with our son. We have only been here for a couple of months, but each day we are greeted by name by everyone, from the front desk to the teachers. Ms Michelle in the infant room is outstanding. Her command of infant care and control of the classroom is clear and calming, and gave me a lot of comfort as a new mom in early daycare days!

We are coming up on two years at Goddard Alexandria West and are so happy with our choice of child care facilities. The staff is kind and clearly cares about our individual child. Shout out to Ms. Lizett for her assistance in potty training our two year old!

As a parent who child is enrolled in the program, I highly recommend this facility. My child loves attending the school and adores the teachers in the Pre-K program (Ms. Leslie, Ms.Mary) My child has learned so much socially and the teachers are very hands-on. All the staff in the building are friendly and helpful, you can feel the energy when you walk into the place.

We have enjoyed our first 2.5 months with the Goddard school. We feel that the value is there for the price point because of our son’s amazing teachers Ms. Michelle and Ms. Lizett. You can tell they really care about each kid in their room. I would recommend them to anyone.

Update: after 10 months being here we have transitioned to the next classroom with new teachers. While we were nervous to change to new teachers, we love them just as much! Ms Charia and Ms Maribel are awesome and care for our son like their own. The teachers in this school make it so great!

We have two children at this school, and every teacher has been fantastic. However, Ms. Chaimae, her current preschool teacher, has truly been wonderful!

Ms. Lindsey has been teaching our daughter for several months and we are so impressed with her improvement with letters and numbers. Ms. Lindsey is kind, patient with the children, and works closely with all of the children to adapt to their needs. We are so lucky to have her and the wonderful staff at Goddard!

Ms. Michelle has been wonderful helping my 6 month old son get adjusted to life at daycare. I know he is in good hands with her!

From my family's short time at this location we have seen a significant improvement in our daughters speech, social interactions, and motor skills. The ladies in the butterfly room (Gabby & Jennifer) really made it possible for us to have a feeling of ease knowing that we could depend on them to give our daughter the support and care she needed away from home. They care for every child in and outside their room and foster a safe and creative development environment for the children. I would highly recommend this location and I would like to recognize these two ladies who were not only teachers but amazing role models for my daughter. We will miss this school, the friends we made along the way, and hope to one day return in the future. Thank you all for your care!

Big Thank You to both Ms. Jennifer and Ms. Gabby!
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the amazing environment you’ve created in PreK1. My daughter has recently transitioned into your class and is truly thriving in so many different ways! The classroom is always so welcoming, energetic, and full of activities that challenge her in the best ways. I can’t thank you both enough for all the effort and care you put into making it such a special place for my daughter.

Thank you Ms. Keke for always making sure my son gets his food warmed up and his milk is constantly in stock!!!!
