The Goddard School of South Tampa

Night of Lights performance was the most adorable thing ever! All of the kids were amazing and had learned their performances perfectly!

Take great care of our kids and make sure they have a safe, fun learning environment. Love the school and staff!

Awesome Ms. Mildred!!

We love Goddard! My daughter is excited to see her teachers and classmates every day! She is thriving and learning so much!

11/21/25 updating my review as we have had my son here for about 6 months now and he started in one of the toddler rooms with Ms Denilsa back in August. Everything I said previously continues to be true about the teachers and staff here. While all of the teachers he interacts with daily are incredible and so amazing with the kids, his primary teacher Ms Denilsa is truly something special. She really has taught my son so many things that I never would have imagined at this age and she has such a special bond/understanding with him, even with some of his sassy toddler quirks, he is genuinely so happy to see her every day (runs into the class and gives her a big hug everyday) and we see the benefits of all the things he is learning daily. Even the admin staff clearly know and interact with my son, he’s always got big smiles, kisses or high fives for the staff and other teachers. It’s...

Oh my goodness, we absolutely love Goddard, our Toddler D class, and Ms. Denilsa! Our shy and clingy 18-month-old goes to her with open arms every morning and has never cried at drop-off. That alone shows just how loved and well-cared-for he is during his time at school. We are truly so grateful for the safe, nurturing environment Goddard provides for our family.

We are so incredibly blessed to have such amazing teachers at Goddard. Both Ms. Triana and Ms. Brenda are so loving and supportive to my 3y/o. My little girl is shy and stubborn, but both teachers are so patient and encouraging with her, and they make school fun! My daughter loves to go to school now! We are so grateful for our kind and caring stuff at Goddard!

Ms. Liza is great. She’s friendly and caring, and her bilingual teaching has helped strengthen our daughter's educational foundation. We’re grateful for the strong start she gives her students. Highly recommend!

Our daughter has been at Goddard for 3 years, beginning in the infant annex and now at the big school. We’ve been so impressed with the teachers and admin and feel like family. Everyone knows your name when you walk through the halls and happily welcomes you each day. The teachers have all been super kind and nurturing but also provide high quality lessons that have kept our daughter engaged and learning nee things every day.

I appreciate Ms. Liza’s collaboration and communication in supporting the students I service in her class!

Ms Tatiana Ms Scharon are wonderful teachers. My daughter is so excited to go to school and comes home and shows us everything she learned. She’s loving learning how to write and is getting really good at knowing all of her letters. We feel great sending her to school.

Our younger daughter’s teachers, Ms Yurisel and Ms Beatris are also so loving. I had a lot of anxiety about sending her to daycare, but I quickly saw how caring and wonderful her teachers are and know she’s in great hands.
