The Goddard School of South Tampa

We are so grateful for Liza! She is incredibly caring, patient, and truly dedicated to her students. My son has grown so much in her class — both in his learning and his confidence—and I know it’s because of the support and encouragement she gives every day. She makes the classroom a positive, fun, and safe space for the kids, and it’s clear how much she loves what she does. We couldn’t ask for a better teacher!

Ms Jasmine and Ms Dee are both great with all the kids and do a fantastic job preparing them on all aspects of starting kindergarten.

Our child has been attending Goddard for over two years, and our experience has been nothing short of wonderful. From daycare to now the pre-k program which offers an excellent curriculum that supports learning and growth. Both Ms. Jasmine and Ms. Dee are incredibly professional, kind, sweet and nurturing. They create a warm and engaging environment for our little one. Both teachers do a phenomenal job!!!

Both my daughters have been through the Goddard School South Tampa, and it has been an exceptional experience. Ms. Sara up front is the best, and both my girls had Miss Jasmine - who is really the nicest, kindest, sweetest person and a great teacher for our girls to get them ready for Kindergarten. I am so grateful she has been there for them and us. She is very respectful towards all parents and treats her students as if they are her own kids! She's first class and a great asset for the school. We love all of the teachers but Miss Jasmine and Ms. Kisha bold stand out! Highly recommend!

Ms. Brenda and Ms. T have been amazing teachers for our daughter this year. They are always so kind and respectful but have taught her great discipline. All employees I have encountered have been so great! Ms. Lissette and Ms. Elsy in the infant annex made my transition back to work so easy. They made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with them. They love her like she’s family! I am so grateful for all of the teachers and staff that have impacted our daughters!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Goddard School of South Tampa. From the moment we enrolled our children, we've felt supported, welcomed, and truly part of a community that prioritizes not only education but also kindness, growth, and emotional development.
A special shoutout to Ms. Liza, our kids’ kindergarten teacher, who has been an absolute blessing. Her passion for teaching shines through in everything she does—from the creative, engaging lesson plans to the way she nurtures each child’s individual strengths. Our daughter absolutely flourished under her guidance, both academically and socially. Ms. Liza’s warmth, patience, and dedication made a lasting impact on our child and on us as parents.
The leadership and staff at Goddard South Tampa are also exceptional. The school is always clean, organized, and buzzing with positive energy. We’re so grateful...

Ms Liza is an Awesome teacher and educator. Goddard is very blessed to have her expertise and background. She partnered with us to help prepare our son for first grade. He is currently in 3rd and we jump at the chance to have him in her classroom. She now also works with our youngest and could not be happier with their development.

This is our second year at Goddard School of South Tampa. When it came time to make a decision about whether to stay for Kindergarten or make the move to an elementary school it was a decision not made lightly. Our experience the first year was so wonderful with all the staff and Ms. Jasmine, who is amazing, as our teacher. Entering Kindergarten we felt like the support received from the staff made our decision easy, but after meeting our Kindergarten teacher Ms Liza any concerns we had about a transition into Kindergarten were totally laid to rest. We all want our children to have a positive experience with a teacher who truly cares about the well being and growth during these crucial years. Ms. Liza’s genuine kindness, care, teaching style, and love for her students makes us wish Goddard of South Tampa had a full elementary school past Kindergarten. I can’t say enough how wonderful...

Absolutely love the school, stuff and teachers. Ms Lisa was the sweetest person ever and she taught my little one how to read so well!
