Goddard School of Ashland VA

My son is in Pre-School at The Goddard School in Ashland and he absolutely loves it! From day one, the teachers and staff worked with every child to make them feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn. Any time we’ve had a question or concern, the directors and owners have been quick to listen and respond—they are truly amazing people who care deeply about the families here.

The teachers are incredibly kind and patient, using such thoughtful and encouraging language with the children. I’ve never once heard yelling—only guidance delivered with love and respect. The atmosphere is warm, nurturing, and full of positive energy. We’ve seen such growth in our son’s confidence, vocabulary, and social skills, and we are so grateful for the care and dedication of the entire team.

From their amazing teachers to the heartwarming owners, the whole team creates a warm, safe and loving environment for your child to grow. My son has been going to this facility nearly a year and LOVES everyone there. They take time for each student and you can feel how much they love their jobs everyday you walk in their doors.

We couldn’t have asked for a better preschool experience!

We had both our son attend from approximately age 2 to age 5, and our daughter from 8 months to now age 2 (still
attending.) Overall, it has been a positive experience. We feel our children have been kept safe and cared for. Director communication and the app utilized for daily updates, pictures, drop off notes, and schedules have been beneficial and reassuring to our family.

I only take away one star because we do feel like our son could’ve had more preparation and support prior to entering kindergarten especially in his last year at Goddard. Teacher turnover was a concern and reflected in his ability to be ready for kindergarten we found out. Communication could have been better and utilized in ensuring he was ready and if not- we could’ve had an opportunity as his parents to make future decisions and interventions to prepare him.
