The Goddard School, Sparks

We moved to Reno from Sacramento in October 2016 when my daughter Ava was about to turn 3. She had never been in any sort of daycare environment before that, but with no family here to watch her, we had to find one. Goddard was the first one I was able to get a meeting/tour with, and happened to have the earliest opening, so we went for it. I'm so glad we did! She started out a little behind, since she hadn't had that social/school interaction, but very quickly caught up and has been thriving for the last year and a half. She comes home and plays school all night, is teaching her baby sister all the songs she learns at school, and absolutely loves it there. Most importantly to me is the safety and communication. I don't worry about her when I drop her off, and I know if something happens the staff will communicate with me about it. I can't sing The Goddard School's praises loudly...

We couldn't be happier with the choice we made when we went with Goddard school! Our daughter loved every day she spent there and we knew she is enjoying herself while learning new things. The teachers were wonderful and attentive and the school staff knows every kid by name. There is constantly something happening at school (parent's day, day in a life of toddler, etc) parent have lots of opportunities to participate in their kids education and just to see their kids having fun. Every holiday is celebrated with a theme party and every Friday she was looking forward for the Share Day. There is never a dull day at Goddard! We highly recommend Goddard to those who value warm loving and highly enriching environment!

We had an awful experience at a previous daycare and were hesitant to place our son in another day care but the staff and the administrators were very reassuring and helpful and my husband and I appreciate this school so much. Thank you.

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!

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!

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.

A great place for our daughter. Caring teachers and great curriculum.
