The Goddard School

I am, we, are beyond greatful for The Goddard School of South Reno; for the appreciated hardworking teachers, for the amazing and dedicated staff- those working tirelessly in the office and around the school! Wow, your dedication to all of the students there at school has greatly been appreciated and seen. Thank you all for providing the students and family with top-notch safe care and excellent customer service. We appreciate and applaud you all! 👏 ❤️

Amazing team at Goddard making a magical learning experience for the kids.

All three of my kids have had a great experience at Goddard. From potty training to being prepped for kindergarten, and with lots of fun art projects and activities, they have grown and felt loved and safe here.

Military friendly organization. Facility is clean and you feel welcome.

Finding childcare that you trust as a parent is really hard. Goddard made our decision a no brainer. Their curriculum and staff are absolutely amazing. The teachers know your children and pay attention to the little things. Goddard is also very clean. Their cleaning standards allow for a safe learning environment. I swear our child doesn’t get sick! (Obviously they do, but maybe twice a year!) The app they use to update you about your child’s day is great! Their communication is very good and allows you to see what’s going on during the day, how their nap was, and if they are running low on diaper supplies.
Goddard staff and management makes us feel like family by showing care and love for our kids, simply saying hello every drop off and pick up, and checking in on life updates.

We’ve had a great experience with Goddard School in South Reno. The staff is warm, attentive, and truly cares about the kids. Our son loves going each day, and we’ve seen wonderful growth in his confidence and social skills. Communication is strong, and the environment is clean and engaging. We feel very comfortable knowing he’s in such good hands and would highly recommend it.

My child has been attending for a month and I love it so far. The teachers are friendly and supportive. During our transition day, I witnessed the extra support upset kiddos got when being dropped off. I’ve also noticed my child counting more. Things I did see at his last childcare center. The other staff anre also friendly. I have nothing but positive things to say about The Goddard School of South Reno.

May 4, 2026 - Adding a review one year later: my opinion has not changed. We love The Goddard School in South Reno. The teachers and administrators are friendly and supportive. We know our son is safe and getting the best early education here.

Love this school and the care and attention they give my children. Everything is well thought out- from the kids’ safety to the STEAM based learning, I was sold from day one of the tour. They are flexible with our needs and are able to accommodate non-traditional part time schedules. Goddard also does an excellent job in maintaining cleanliness and have strict sanitization practices which this pediatrician mom loves because my kids don’t come home sick as often as I expected them to. Can’t brag about them enough!!

Such a great daycare! We love taking our daughter here. Her teacher, Sam, is the best!

By far the best daycare! The staff is so friendly and nurturing, the environment is clean and safe for the kiddos, they do so many fun activities and learning exercises daily with the kiddos. Going back to work was so hard for me but knowing my kiddo is in a fun safe environment with such amazing caring staff has made it a more comforting experience for our family. My little one absolutely loves going and gets so excited every morning to see all the staff and his friends!

Goddard School in South Reno has been amazing. My daughter had a bad experience at another school in town which caused her to not want to go to school anymore so we ended up moving her to Goddard and it has been great. My daughter now loves going to school and she really likes her teachers. They have been very accommodating and welcoming.

We absolutely love Goddard! They have been so supportive and kind and the teachers are fantastic. We could not have picked a better place for our child.

Goddard has been such an incredible blessing for our family. After experiencing both a private nanny and in-home daycare, our only regret is that we didn’t find Goddard sooner. Our girls have truly flourished, not only academically, but socially and emotionally. They’ve built meaningful friendships, grown in confidence, and genuinely love going each day.

The staff and teachers are exceptional, caring, attentive, and deeply invested in each child’s development. It’s clear this is more than just a school; it’s a community that supports and nurtures every family.

We couldn’t recommend Goddard more highly, and we know we’ll miss it dearly once our family graduates.

My boys have been thriving since starting school here, the teachers and staff are all so kind and attentive. We love it so much!

The teachers are all so caring of our son, and he almost doesn't want to leave school at the end of the day! We really appreciate how the directors are very responsive to any concerns we may have. Love the dress up days and activities to keep the family involved, although we sadly cannot attend every one. I can tell that our son is developing so well from being at school.

We couldn’t be happier with The Goddard School. The teachers are fabulous! Professional, attentive, loving, and create strong bonds with the kids. We brought our 4 month old baby here and she has absolutely thrived in the 9 months she’s been attending so far. They keep the app up to date with their meals, diaper changes, activities, and lots of pictures and videos. Gave me such peace of mind when I went back to work. Thank you Goddard for being excellent!

The Goddard School is a truly excellent educational institution that cares for children with love. The facilities are very clean and safe, and all staff members genuinely care for and pay close attention to the children.

Amazing school, we put all three of our kids through Goddard since moving to Reno in 2021. All of them had a wonder experience and loved the teachers and classroom environment. Highly recommend.

Great teachers and administrators, all staff are wonderful to work with and our family is so happy to be a part of the Goddard community and curriculum for our kids. Great work Ryan + Chelli and all of the amazing teammembers making this school a great experience. You all are appreciated.

We've had 4 children go to Goddard, over the last 7 years. It's been a great experience! It's comforting to go to work knowing your kids are in good hands.

We joined the Goddard School in January. We were not planning to start until June but faced an unexpected closure of our in-home daycare. Ryan and his team were quick to get us in which was a huge gift as my husband and I both work full time. The Goddard School of South Reno is a well oiled machine. The director of the school and assistant director are fantastic. The teachers are kind and accommodating. I really value how well the school treats their employees. Happy employees are the heart of any business. Communication is on point. As we transitioned from a small in home daycare, I was met with compassion and empathy with every single question or concern I had. My daughter's learning has excelled. The curriculum clearly works- play based but with structure. Very glad we found this school and very grateful to all the people who are truly doing a wonderful job making it such a special...

The Goddard is exactly what every parent is looking for. The amazing staff is always welcoming, and the prepared teachers provide a variety of activities that support educational development—all within a safe environment and a proven curriculum.

We have loved everything about the Goddard School! They create such a warm, loving, and supportive environment for the children to learn and grow. The teachers and curriculum are amazing. We recommend them to everyone!

Wouldn’t trust anyone else! Amazing facilities and staff. Strong values and commitment to excellence. Couldn’t have done it without them.

My daughter has been attending this daycare for over a year, and she absolutely loves her teachers and friends here. We are very happy with the school overall. The director is responsible and responsive, and the teachers are kind, caring, and very interactive with the children. They provide a variety of engaging and interesting activities that keep the kids excited to learn and play. The facility is also consistently clean and well organized, which we really appreciate.
