Goddard School Summerville

We absolutely love Goddard at Nexton! The curriculum is outstanding, engaging, thoughtfully designed, and truly focused on helping children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We’ve seen so much positive development in our son since he started.

What means the most to us is the individualized care. The teachers really take the time to understand our son’s unique needs and personality. They adapt their approach to help him feel supported, confident, and excited to learn. It’s clear they genuinely care about every child who walks through their doors.

We’re incredibly grateful to have found a school that combines excellent education with heartfelt attention. Highly recommend!

My son regularly looks forward to going to school. His enthusiasm for his friends, teachers, and school activities - social/physical (e.g., Stretch-n-Grow Tuesdays; Music Man Thursdays; Soccer Shots) and academic (Show-n-Tell), gives me great satisfaction. I am also pleased with the cleanliness and upkeep of the school.

Highly recommend Goddard! Our daughter is thriving there. The mix of play, sensory, art and music to encourage learning is wonderful. The facility is clean and teachers/staff are all fantastic. You can tell how much everyone cares for your child. We appreciate the steps taken to keep everyone safe, happy and healthy. It’s the little things from inviting front lobby with music, the secure door into the school, fish tank, higher end playground/gym and decorations/themes for each classroom that make also make Goddard so special to us. Lastly what sealed our decision to have our daughter attend Goddard was the communication between staff/teachers to the parents. With the app we have a peek into the daily happenings inside the classroom and being able to communicate through the app is wonderful.

We love Goddard! My daughter has been attending since opening day and she has truly blossomed both socially and emotionally. Very happy to be part of this amazing family

My son has been attending Goddard of Summerville since the first week they opened and over the course of the last year and 3 months, I have seen him flourish. The teachers of the Foxes class helped him with potty training practices that actually worked. They were encouraging and supportive. He quickly advanced to the Sharks and Gators classroom, where he is today, and has learned the alphabet, numbers, days of the week, and countless advanced subjects within a structured classroom setting. The Goddard School takes pride in making learning innovative and enjoyable for kids to include art projects, science experiments, tracing, paint by numbers, show and tell, and themed weeks targeted at learning our country’s many states, letters of the alphabet, eco system, food chain, weather, and more. Goddard brings in outside resources to help the kids learn topics that would otherwise not...

I can't say enough good things about this school and its staff. They go above and beyond to really pour into their students and learn each child and their family on a personal level. In only a few months they became more than our child's educators - they became family. I have never seen such consistency across teachers to so passionately dedicate themselves to making each child successful and incorporate every family in that success. If there were six stars, I'd give that!

Our two children have the best time at Goddard! Every day I pick them up they have smiles and chat the whole way home about their day. The teachers and staff are wonderful and really care about the children.

Great Atmosphere and Wonderful Staff!
Our son started at Goddard School - Summerville in January, and we’ve been incredibly impressed with his growth and development since then. The facility is always clean, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to feel comfortable. The staff is not only attentive but also incredibly responsive, always going above and beyond to ensure our child’s needs are met. It’s clear that the team takes great pride in maintaining a well-established, safe, and nurturing environment for both learning and care. We’ve experienced nothing but positive interactions, and we highly recommend this school to other families!

My son has been going here for just over a year and I couldn’t be happier. The teachers and administrative staff are amazing at what they do, and they constantly strive to ensure a happy learning environment for the children. Ms Teagan is a wonderful director, and has always made time to answer all my questions. My son is learning everyday, I cannot overstate the progress he has made since attending this school.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school! From the very first day, it was clear that this is a truly special place. Every single member of the staff is caring, compassionate, and dedicated—not just to academic growth, but to the emotional well-being of each and every child. What amazes me most is how they manage to treat every student as if they were their own. The level of love, patience, and respect they show is something I have not seeing at any other school in the area.

The leadership here is phenomenal. Tegan, the owner, has created a vision for the school that is truly inspiring—her passion for children and education shines through in every detail. Sara, the director, is equally incredible. She leads with such warmth, organization, and dedication, and it’s clear that both she and Tegan set the tone for the caring and supportive culture that flows...

Having my child attend Goddard has been a wonderful experience. The staff is attentive, great lesson plans and great communication. I highly recommend for you to take your child here.

My daughter started daycare in April of this year, after briefly attending another center. The difference when she began at Goddard was like night and day. She has truly flourished since starting here. She enjoys going to school every day, and I have complete confidence in the faculty and staff.

It has been a pleasure seeing how much my children love Goddard. From the community they’ve created to the social-emotional skills they’ve taught my little ones, I’m truly thankful for this safe and caring space to send my kids.

We are beyond thrilled with the Goddard School in Summerville. We toured numerous schools and Goddard was the only place we felt comfortable sending our daughter. What began as a safe place for our daughter to be when I went back to work full-time, quickly turned into a truly amazing opportunity for our daughter to learn, grow, make new friends, and have so much FUN! We love seeing pictures of her with her friends and reading her daily lesson plans. We are shocked at how much these amazing teachers are truly able to teach our two year old.

In addition to play based learning, the management and teachers alike truly care for our daughter and know her by name. We are so happy to be part of Goddard School Summerville and cannot recommend them enough!

Since our daughter has attended Goddard she’s gained so much confidence. The entire staff know her name and vice versa, she’s in a great mood at pick up, and the daily summary we get through the app about her day is helpful.
