Goddard School of Ashland VA

My son is in Pre-School at The Goddard School in Ashland and he absolutely loves it! From day one, the teachers and staff worked with every child to make them feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn. Any time we’ve had a question or concern, the directors and owners have been quick to listen and respond—they are truly amazing people who care deeply about the families here.

The teachers are incredibly kind and patient, using such thoughtful and encouraging language with the children. I’ve never once heard yelling—only guidance delivered with love and respect. The atmosphere is warm, nurturing, and full of positive energy. We’ve seen such growth in our son’s confidence, vocabulary, and social skills, and we are so grateful for the care and dedication of the entire team.

If you are looking for a place where your child will be loved, supported, and...

From their amazing teachers to the heartwarming owners, the whole team creates a warm, safe and loving environment for your child to grow. My son has been going to this facility nearly a year and LOVES everyone there. They take time for each student and you can feel how much they love their jobs everyday you walk in their doors.

Goddard Ashland is a great school for younger kids, staff is experienced and awesome. We love it!

I love the teaching methods and the programs at Goddard

We love The Goddard School of Ashland! It’s very clean and the owners, teachers, and staff are all so wonderful, friendly and caring. Highly recommend!

Great!

We have had such a wonderful experience at Goddard! We initially started our 3-year-old at a different school but didn’t have the best experience. Switching to Goddard was the best decision we could have made! Her teachers, Ms. Mia and Ms. Addison, are absolutely amazing — they are incredibly understanding and have helped her adjust so well. We couldn’t have asked for a better preschool experience!

We had both our son attend from approximately age 2 to age 5, and our daughter from 8 months to now age 2 (still
attending.) Overall, it has been a positive experience. We feel our children have been kept safe and cared for. Director communication and the app utilized for daily updates, pictures, drop off notes, and schedules have been beneficial and reassuring to our family.

I only take away one star because we do feel like our son could’ve had more preparation and support prior to entering kindergarten especially in his last year at Goddard. Teacher turnover was a concern and reflected in his ability to be ready for kindergarten we found out. Communication could have been better and utilized in ensuring he was ready and if not- we could’ve had an opportunity as his parents to make future decisions and interventions to prepare him.

Both children have...

It’s been over two months since my kid started going to Goddard and not once has he said that he didn’t want to go. He fell in love with his teachers the day he met them. They are receptive to parents’ concerns and feedbacks. So far, we are happy with our experience with Goddard.

As a new parent it has been great working with Goddard for our daughter. I trust they have her best interest in mind and are accommodating of our preferences/requests for care while she is with her teachers.

Best ever.

The people are super nice and they really provide a healthy atmosphere ! They also have a very clean facility!

Our child has been attending Goddard since the beginning of the year and so far, so good! They have made us feel very comfortable as first-time parents taking care of our infant. All of the teachers and staff have been wonderful.

Great facility!!

Goddard has been a second home to me for the last twelve years so I didn’t think twice about bringing my child with me when my maternity leave was up! I love the other teachers and love watching my child learn and thrive at Goddard.

Goddard is a 5-star school, you are certainly getting what you pay for. The facilities are clean, organized and calm. The staff are kind and equally organized. I feel at ease leaving my child here each day, knowing they will be safe and cared for. I am also loving the regular updates we receive. We get tons of pictures and videos of daily activities. I will miss that! It was very disappointing that the timing didn’t work out for our family to be in the classroom that made sense for us in the short-term, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a fantastic place to be.

Both of my children started at the Goddard School of Ashland when they were 15 months old. My oldest is now in Kindergarten and my youngest is in the pre-k class. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Goddard School of Ashland! It's a family atmosphere that is calm, clean and inviting. My oldest was well prepared for Kindergarten and I know my youngest will be as well. I would recommend The Goddard School of Ashland to anyone and I will be so sad when my youngest graduates from pre-k this spring!

Our child has been enrolled at Goddard School of Ashland since he was an infant. All of the staff and teachers over the years have been phenomenal, and we’ve never had to worry about whether our child was in good hands. Thank you, Goddard!

From the moment my husband and I visited, we were met with the friendliest of smiles and grace for our personal situation. My son was so welcomed and he thrived! The pre-k classroom was everything he needed to help prepare him for school. Even after a break of enrollment, my son was re-enrolled for after school care, he was welcomed back with smiles and excitement, and he is so proud to be apart of “his Goddard.” Everytime we drive past it, he waves and yells, “hi Goddard!”

Amazing owner and loving teachers. Best place for out kid and they are passionate and caring.

I can only say that this day care is the best from teachers staff and administrators. They care about our children like theirs .very clean and professional I plan to put my other son on this daycare if they have any availability.

Our experience with The Goddard School of Ashland has been nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The facility is bright, clean, and cheerful, and the staff are incredibly friendly and professional.

What truly sets Goddard apart is the teachers' genuine passion for early childhood education. They are deeply engaged with the children, fostering a love of learning through play-based activities and creative exploration. We've been consistently impressed by their dedication and the individual attention they give to each child.

Communication with the school is excellent. The owners and management are responsive and truly listen to any concerns, addressing them promptly and effectively. We always feel heard and valued as parents.

Most importantly, our children absolutely thrive...

Caring, clean, and safe. We love Goddard and have sent our kids there for years — with years to go! Our kids love to go and they are always talking about the activities they do there. We can’t thank the teachers and directors enough.

My husband and I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Goddard. From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth and kindness that fills this place. The staff are incredibly nurturing, patient, and genuinely care about our child’s well-being and development.

Our child has blossomed so much since starting here. The teachers create a fun, educational environment that keeps the kids excited to learn every day. They balance structured learning with creative play.

What stands out most is how welcoming and supportive the entire team is—not just to the kids but also to us as parents. We always feel informed, involved, and reassured that our child is in the best hands possible.

If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be loved, cared for, and encouraged to grow in a safe, stimulating environment, we highly recommend Goddard of Ashland....

Both my boys are Goddard kids! The staff are always welcoming and the teachers use a solid program to get the prepared for K-12! Not to mention the extra curricular activities that boost their confidence and get them excited about school!
