The Goddard School of South Tampa

My son was new to the school and she made us feel at peace when we drop him off every day. He’s upset when we leave him and she’ll bring him to the window and distract him . Now he’s can be left anywhere because she’s made these first times non-traumatic. She truly tries to understand what makes every kid comfortable and how they best learn. She’s an amazing teacher and we’re very lucky to have her..”

Ms. Liza Medina is AMAZING! She is a Kindergarten teacher at the South Tampa Location in Florida. We started at Goddard a month ago. Prior to the transfer both of my kids, who are 11 months apart, attended public school for Kindergarten. I used to dread my mornings with my kids on school days. They used to scream, fight, and tell me they hated school. My heart would break forcing them to go, every morning. Because of the fights they missed a lot of school days and fell behind. They didn’t know their letters, numbers, or how to write their name properly. I honestly felt like a failed mom. I searched for a small school setting and The Goddard School was the answer to all my prayers. We do travel about 30-40 minutes in the morning but it’s such a pleasant drive. My kids LOVE to wake up, get dressed, and in the car to head to Ms. Liza’s class. They know almost all their letters and...

We are so happy with our daughter's experience at Goddard School of South Tampa. The staff is wonderful and caring, and we really appreciate the consistent and positive routine they provide. It's a great environment for learning and growth!

We are thrilled to be a part of the Goddard community. The teachers truly love and respect all of their students. The teacher-parent and office staff communication is exceptional. I love knowing that when I drop my kids off they are in great hands with the care and attention they are given. Our children have developed an inner sense of confidence, independence, and a love of learning thanks to their education there.

Very amazing

Love Goddard! The teachers and staff are amazing. It has been such a warm, educational, and fun experience being part of the Goddard family.

The education our boys are receiving at Goddard of South Tampa exemplifies the Goddard name and program. From making our shy little guy so confident that he is becoming the life of the party to working with our 1 year old on his development daily we couldn’t be happier.

The teachers are amazing and the administrators make everyone who walks through the door feel welcome (adding to the level of security we feel as parents knowing that everyone is recognized). The education our two boys are receiving is incredible. Having conversations about the life cycle of a caterpillar at dinner with our three year old is mind blowing! We are so happy to be part of the Goddard of South Tampa family.

Our two children were enrolled at Goddard for the past 2 years. Our daughter was in their preschool class, and our son started in the infant classroom all the way to preschool. Both of them loved their classrooms - teachers are friendly, it's a safe environment, and they have an incredible array of extracurriculars and community engagements. Most importantly, they felt loved and nurtured to learn. The administration and staff are very responsive and go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. We will be back for summer camps!
