The Goddard School

I want to thank Ms. Miche, Ms. Crystal, and Ms. Michelle for loving my son like their own.

Our daughter is in Ms Shantel & Ms Becky’s class; we are extremely pleased with how much she has grown while in their class. They have both done a fantastic job and we would highly recommend Goddard Alexandria.

I'm well pleased with this school. My daughter really enjoys attending. She comes home talking nonstop about Shantel. First impression of her was nice. Very friendly and warm hearted. I have no complaints.

I am thrilled to share my thoughts with The Goddard School of Alexandria, particularly regarding the exceptional teacher, Jennifer Romero. Jennifer embodies dedication, attentiveness, and extensive experience in the field of education.

Throughout my time interacting with Jennifer, it’s evident that her commitment to her students’ growth and development is unparalleled. She consistently goes above and beyond to create engaging and enriching learning experiences for her class. Jennifer’s meticulous planning and creative approach to curriculum design make each lesson both educational and inspiring.

Her years of experience shine through in her interactions with students, colleagues, and parents alike. Jennifer’s warmth and passion for teaching are truly remarkable, and her ability to connect with each child on an individual level fosters a supportive and...

Our son started at The Goddard School in January and the teachers have been welcoming and flexible during the adjustment. Leo is excited to go to school each day and see his friends. He loves his teachers, Ms. Becky and Ms. Shantel. They are both incredibly caring and already feel like family!

I don’t have kids who go here but my best friend loves Ms. Michelle!!

We are loving our experience with Goddard! In particular - Ms Michelle has been fantastic - super thoughtful and caring. :)

We love Goddard! Ms. Michelle kicked off such a lovely experience for us, followed by continued care and attention from all of the other lovely teachers we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. The curriculum is fantastic and we are so appreciative of our great experience!

We absolutely love Goddard! We are so glad we made the decision to send our first child here --- he is loving it too. Ms. Michelle in particular has made it a really outstanding experience --- her passion, skill, and personability has really shined through.

The Goddard School (Alexandria-West) has been and will forever be a pivotal aspect of our child’s development.
Our child started with Goddard in 2021 and was fortunate to have Ms. Gabby as his teacher. In the time that he was at Goddard, Gabby and the staff’s nurturing and support was instrumental in helping him to reach key developmental and academic milestones. Once he started with Goddard, his progress was astronomical. Even now, two years later, he is ahead of his peers academically and developmentally. We are more than convinced that his strong start at Goddard is largely to thank.
Years later, as this child has entered elementary school and is no longer with the Goddard family, they truly show their love and support for our son and continuously root for his successes. They truly are a village of support and love! Ms. Gabby remains our child’s “favorite-est teacher”...

As a parent, one of the greatest joys is witnessing the growth and development of our children, and I am incredibly grateful to the exceptional team of educators at The Goddard School for playing an integral role in this journey. Ms. Gabby, Ms. Lindsey, Ms. Jennifer, and Ms. Nina have collectively nurtured and guided my children with unwavering dedication and love, making our experience at The Goddard School truly exceptional.

Together, Ms. Gabby, Ms. Lindsey, Ms. Jennifer, and Ms. Nina embody the values of The Goddard School and exemplify what it means to be truly dedicated educators. Their commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating learning environment has had a profound impact on my children's lives, and I am forever grateful for the positive influence they have had on their educational journey.

The Goddard School has been more than just a school...

Ms. Michelle is such a loving and caring teacher. She is extremely present and forms such a natural bond. Not only does she care for the children, but Ms. Michelle is an amazing resource for the parents too (especially first timers!) by providing feedback and advice.

Ms. Michelle is a lovely person who knows how to make kids feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. She helped my little Aiden blossom into a confident kiddo. He loves her still.

Fantastic teachers, programs, and activities!

We have loved our time at Goddard! Ms. Dezere is still one of my daughter’s favorite people in the world! The entire staff is warm and nurturing while providing structure and stability. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

Our continued experience with the faculty and staff has been nothing but excellent. Specifically our teachers Ms. Becky & Ms. Shantel. Our daughter is excited to see them each and every day!

Amazing school
I just started here for a week and the experience has been exceptional.
They are organized and the staff are absolutely helpful and friendly. The owners are understanding and amazing too. Enrollment was a breeze. I'm beyond thankful. I highly recommend your child to be at this school you will have no regrets.
Review update (3/18), its been 7 months since enrollment for my daughter: I still have no complaints. She started in Get Set class although it was very a short time period her teacher Ms. Ronnique was great to my daughter.
I've enjoyed the different activities they've had for the parents, students, and staff
Preschool Teachers Shantel & Becky are the best and they work well together. My daughter and her classmates love them.

"I cannot recommend this school highly enough! The teachers here, especially MS. Lindsey and Ms. Jennifer are not only caring and nurturing but also incredibly dedicated to fostering children's cognitive, social, and language development. The environment is safe and welcoming, making it a fantastic place for kids to learn and grow. If you're looking for a preschool that truly cares about your child's development, this is the place to go!"

Shantel Robinson is a great teacher. She is so friendly and kind with her students. I would highly recommend The Goddard School of Alexandria. Job well done!! This school offers a truly amazing educational experience. From the moment you step through the doors, you are greeted with an atmosphere of care. Thank you Shantel for providing supportive service.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shantel is an amazing teacher. She’s very attentive and takes pride in going above and beyond to exceed expectations.

We have been so impressed by Goddard. We enrolled when our son was 6 months, and Ms. Michelle made our experience so special, and made us feel so comfortable about leaving our little one (which was really hard for me!). Our son absolutely loves her and even reaches for her when we drop him off! It is truly heart warming. Michelle also helped us immensely to keep up with the milestones (starting solids, switching to sippy cups, getting on a proper sleep schedule, wearing shoes to help with walking)—things that, as a first time mom, were all new to me. The class was always clean and well-kept and the vibes are always happy and loving.

The same goes for his new class, and all of the teachers we’ve encountered. Ms. Sasha, Ms. Maribel, Ms. Lizett, and Ms. Asmaa— all incredible women who take such great care of our little boy. We appreciate them more than they’ll ever know! Our...

My wife and I are very happy with this daycare. The staff are always helpful and professional. Big shoutout to Traleece and Andrea, they are the biggest reason why we love this daycare. Also we see major improve in are daughter speech and learning achievements everyday. You can tell Goddard Schools of Alexandria care about their students and parents. I highly recommend this daycare!!!!

Ms Shantel is an exceptional teacher the love and passion that she has for kids is amazing I have never met a teacher as sweet as Ms Shantel she is very attentive to the children's need any child that is in her care is in great hands she goes above and beyond everyday to ensure that the children that are in her care needs are met and they are learning it is a blessing to have her as a teacher I can't say it enough amazing amazing amazing

Shantel’s an awesome influence on her students glad she found a home at Goddard

I'm just here to let parent know, Shantel and Becky are phenomenal 👌🏾. They make sure the kids are well learned and well kept. It's sad to say, but most of the teachers of today aren't passionate about this very important role in society. Shantel and Becky are top tier teachers!!!!

It is a tough thing to leave your baby in the care of others, especially as a first-time parent. We have really appreciated the staff at Goddard and I wanna give a special Thank you to Shantel for being a wonderful individual always in a good spirit my kid comes home and chats about her all day long Thank you Goddard and Ms.Shantel keep up the Good work.

Our son loves his teachers in Infant 1 - Ms. Maribel and the rest of the team have taken excellent care of him and have helped tremendously with his development.

I would like to give Ms. Becky the recognition she needs. She’s so amazing with the little ones. There’s no one I’d rather watch my niece than her

UPDATE: my sons (age 4 in June; age 2 in July) are absolutely thriving at Goddard! Where do I start?! The activities the teachers do throughout the day, the organization and routine (which I have learned is super important for toddlers) professionalism of the staff, communication with parents, and even catered lunches… are just a few of the things that make the experience at Goddard Alexandria unparalleled. As a mom who always felt I would prefer to spend the day with my kids, I know that my children would be missing out on so much if they were not at Goddard… it gives them a great education, confidence, nurturing caregivers, fun activities, and social skills.

The biggest thing of all is the staff. Ms. Zaida , Ms. Helen and Ms. Kassie in first steps are amazing. They are so detail oriented and organized - as a mom of two active boys 2 years apart, I’m constantly...

Ms. Becky is a wonderful teacher. I just love how she is so patience with my daughter.
