The Goddard School, Sparks

We had only been enrolled a month and already felt like part of the Goddard family. Our son is adjusting well with the help of the teachers and directors. They have made sure that the whole family received extra love and support during our transition. We are excited to see the continued progress our son makes with this amazing school. We are so pleased with our decision! Read more >

Goddard is an amazing pre-school. The things they have taught my 3 year old is astounding. He can count to 30, knows the whole alphabet and letter sounds and more! They don't drill the kids they have fun with them. They teach them through play the way young kids should learn. I can't say enough about how great this school is! Read more >

Both of my children attend and I am very pleased with Goddard. My daughter is extremely shy and resistant to change, but her teachers have been amazingly patient and have really helped her blossom into a more confident, outgoing child. My son is extremely attached to me and will have only benefited from socializing without mommy a little each day. We are also new to the state with no family nearby, and Goddard's "Parents' Night Out" has helped us have at least one evening to ourselves each month without the stress of finding a babysitter. So while it is more expensive than other places, it has been very worth it for us. I know my children are being cared for lovingly and I feel confident that they are happy there. Read more >

My son Christopher has been attending the Goddard School in Sparks since he was 8 months old. He is now getting ready to graduate from their Kindergarten Program. He recently took the WCSD First Grade Evaluation Exam in which he scored extremely high. The evaluator said to me that he was already at or above First Grade level. Thanks to John, Jody, Nikki, Anna, and all of their teachers and staff doing such a great job educating him. Read more >

My daughter has done so well at this preschool. I have something to compare this school to since my older child attended a different pre-school (which I liked, but this one is better). Now, my daughter is starting kindergarten in August 2015 at a public school and I feel like she is prepared, socially and academically. The staff are nice. They do so will with her little quirky ways and make you feel at home when dropping off, etc. In general, it is a nice school. There are so many small things that make it wonderful - from hands-on activities, art, computer time, use of the interactive board and, of course, reading books! Thank you Goddard family.

My son has attended Goddard in Sparks since he was 1 ½ and has now been there for nearly 3 years. Needless to say I have been pleased with the program, the teachers, the kids, and the development my son has made over the period. I have reviewed many programs in Reno/Sparks and continue comparing but, what I have found in my travels is that Goddard is ultra clean, safe, warm hearted, friendly environment for my son to grow and learn/discover something new about the world around him. He has blossomed socially and loves his teachers. The curriculum is vast ranging from introduction to Spanish, to experiencing productive peer interaction, to experimenting with smart boards and instruction to keep him engaged. My wife and I take our decisions on our child’s education very seriously and through Goddard have grown in confidence on the value of a sound early educational program. The front... Read more >

We recently enrolled our child in the schools Pre-K program and have not been disappointed. Miss Tara and Mr Caleb are an amazing team of teachers, so extremely patient with my little one. I wish we would of enrolled him at a younger age. The place we came from basically had babysitters not teachers with degrees. The school is fresh and clean, with up to date learning tools and play equipment.
Our child is on the waiting list for next falls full day Kindergarten program. They just finished purchasing another promethan (sp) board for their preK class just like the one in Kindergarten. This board is an incredible learning tool for the students and extremely helpful for the teachers. Check out the school if you can, we love it!!!! Read more >
