THE GODDARD SCHOOL MERIDIAN ID

So sad our time at Goddard is ending - we have been at Goddard for both my kids from the time they were 2-3 years old through today, Pre-school graduation! The teachers/staff are all amazing, they truly try to get to know your children and help them grow! They make each of them feel special. They not only teach them school work, they teach them how to be kind human beings. Goddard creates a community, they host after-hours family fun activities and outings (picnics, trunk or treat, baseball games). They even offer parents nights out every few months so parents can take a much needed break! :)

Nothing but amazing things to say about this school! Read more >

We've been really happy with Goddard so far! My son is 3 and in the dolphins class and had previously been at another school. We absolutely love the staff and teachers, everyone is so warm and kind with the kiddos. We especially love the lead teacher in his class. Communication has been great - there's an app with daily info and pictures and it's easy to reach the staff through email if we need anything. Read more >

Ella had an amazing time! We loved it for her! Read more >

“We’ve had one graduate from Goddard and one child still attending and they have thrived here! The teachers are all pretty great, very sweet, engaged with the kids and parents. They take the time to chat with you about your child’s day everyday upon pick up. You also get a detailed note with pictures of what they are working on for the day / week. The other kids and parents seem to be very nice and respectful. The facilities is new, clean, and very organized! The front office team is amazing, super responsive to email, very helpful, and always cheerful. They try to create a sense of family there without compromising discipline, routine, and rules!

Weve been through 3 learning centers in the last 2 years. Goddard has been the best school by far and we wish we had been able to get in sooner. The content taught to our 2 littles was phenomenal (math, science, writing foundations), and the approach to food/nutrition is the best experience weve had. The other schools frequently gave out high sugar junk foods, even to the one years olds. Not counting the lunches we pack from Home, the school makes a stellar effort to reduce extra sugars, without heavy handedly removing it all together.
Were so grateful to be a part of what you do Read more >

Where do I begin?? I am ABSOLUTELY AMAZED by my 3yr old son’s development since beginning at The Goddard School slightly less than 1 year ago. He’s a “late talker” and still has a way to go but he’s grown leaps and bounds both educationally, socially and in the area of self discipline… and again he’s only 3!!! The building is almost “uncomfortably clean” and, though he’s had his share of sickness (again he’s 3, they attract germs like black cars attract dirt); I never worry about his health and well being. The entire staff are incredibly caring from Rick (the owner) all the way down to the assistants. Each of his teachers have been nothing short of compassionate and overflowing with tender love. I can’t speak on other preschools in the area but THIS school gets 10 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read more >

We love Goddard! From the owner and directors to our teachers, there is nothing like the personalized, well rounded curriculum and care my daughter receives. We get daily pictures and good communication and we are told what they are working on so we can supplement the learning at home. They always assess my daughter’s development and communicate how we can help her socially, emotionally and developmentally. In our experience, there is little turnover compared to other centers. These educators really care. We love you guys! Thanks for taking such good care of our girl. Read more >
