THE GODDARD SCHOOL MERIDIAN ID

“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

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

My son started pre-k in January 2022 on March he was able to recognizes the letters, spell and write his name by himself he is just 4 . His teachers are awesome they notice that my son get uncomfortable when other kids finished before him so he stop do it the project and get frustrated they communicate to me what was happening with him and what was their plan that move him by himself so he will be able to take his time and 1 of the teachers will be with him to help an little by little move again with the other kids ...so their plan works !!!!

I highly recommend Goddard School. I would give them A + rating. They give you daily logs of what your student does each day. The owners care and so does the teachers and it shows. My son has sensory issues and would cry each day going to other learning centers in Boise. At Goddard School, my son loves his teachers and enjoys going each morning without any meltdowns. Do yourself a favor, and enroll your child today!!

We moved our daughter over to Goddard about 4 months ago and we love it. I’ve noticed my daughter excelling in her learning. The teachers are nice and so is the directors and owner. They have great communication with the parents. I love how their top priority is safety. The facility is beautiful and always clean. I highly recommend enrolling your child here. My daughter loves to go to school and sometimes doesn’t want to leave when I pick her up.

Trusting someone else with your child is never easy, but Goddard School made that transition smooth. My daughter is very reserved and an observer but her teachers and this school have brought out the confidence in her. We love Goddard and wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Pros: Detailed daily reports, pictures from your child’s day, clear learning objectives we can reinforce at home, art projects brought home daily, and truly caring staff and teachers who have my child’s best interest at heart.

Cons: A bit more expensive than other daycares. To us, it’s worth every penny.

We absolutely love The Goddard School! If you are looking for high quality care and education for your child, this is the place. The teachers and directors are great. They know all of the kids and parents and make it feel like a community. It is a very safe and secure environment and we know that our daughter is in good hands. We have noticed that our daughter has really advanced since attending The Goddard School, and we attribute that to their educational program. Our daughter is not even two and she has a very extensive vocabulary, can count, and is extremely social. The best part is how much SHE loves The Goddard School. When we tell her it's time to go to school, she runs to the door excitedly. When we arrive at school, she greets everyone and goes into her classroom and does her happy dance :-)
