The Goddard School

My daughter went for TK and we loved all the staff and teachers at this school. Once you do the tour, there’s no way you wouldn’t want your child to go here. From all the safety measures that are implemented, to the security, the privacy, the inclusiveness, the adorable way they decorate for ALL holidays…. it was honestly the best decision. My daughter has graduated and moved on- but still requests visits to go squeeze her teachers and the staff. <3

We have loved sending our daughters to Goddard in Ladera. My older daughter went here, my middle daughter is currently there and I have a baby that will attend in a couple years as well. I love the photos I receive throughout the day. I love that they teach them chess. My daughters have really grown with the weekly share days, working on talking infront of people. This school has been amazing and I know my daughters are more than prepared when they enter kindergarten.

We were in the car yesterday when my 4 year old looked down at the beginning of a Bluey episode pointed to the screen and said, "Ddddd-aaaa-dddd is dad." This isn't a brag about my kiddo, it's a brag about Goddard of Ladera Ranch: never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would witness kiddo writing their name correctly and neatly, and putting letter sounds together this early.

My first kiddo went to daycare in Mission Viejo before the pandemic and we had a very different experience than Goddard. In the other daycare, parents couldn't keep up with the teacher turnover and were frustrated by inexperienced administration. There were a few licensing issues which is never a good sign.

Second kiddo has attended Goddard of Ladera Ranch since July 2021 and has made wonderful friends and learned from dedicated teachers. Kiddo is in the final class...

We've really enjoyed our experience at Goddard. The teachers are all loving and sweet. You can tell they love their kiddos. For young minds, they are constantly learning, doing activities, and getting energy out at a few different outside playtimes per day. I'd recommend Goddard for sure!

Have had a great experience with their infant program. Teachers and staff are great at communicating and really care. Reasonable and responsible sick policy. Curriculum and social development are going well. Also appreciate the fun themed days and holidays.

My son absolutely loves this school! We’re been with Goddard for more than 2 years. The teachers are fantastic – caring, attentive, and skilled. The cozy environment creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Plus, the education program is top-notch! I highly recommend it to other parents.

Goddard is a great place, it’s a very safe environment and full of fun loving teachers. We always recommend Goddard to family and friends.

The Goddard School in Ladera Ranch has been a great asset in the development and growth of our son. He was very shy and needed speech therapy support to express himself. However since joining the Goddard School, he has become more extrovert and he can talk without any issues. We noticed his blossoming very quickly. The teachers are all great and they have been a very helpful factor in the development of our son. The administration is very helpful and friendly.

My child has been going there for over a year and I have recommended this school to my friends
