The Goddard School of Folsom

Goddard is an incredible first step in a child’s education and development. It has been the decision we've made for our children. It is comforting to know your children are thriving, learning, and growing while creating friendships. Highly recommend! Read more >

I love the ease of communication via text and on the app. Easy to see what my child is doing each day and love seeing the photos. My child has grown leaps with his speech being around other kids and with the curriculum at Goddard including singing and reading books! He recites several songs at home. Would highly recommend :) Read more >

I cannot say enough great things about this preschool! Our two children have been attending since they were just 11 months and 2 years old, and we’ve seen incredible growth in both of them. The staff is absolutely wonderful — caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to fostering a love for learning in each child.
Our 4-year-old is now more than ready for kindergarten, with strong academic skills and a confidence that speaks to the nurturing environment the teachers have created. The progress our 2-year-old has made, especially in language and social skills, is remarkable. They’ve gained so much from interacting with both peers and teachers in such a supportive space.
It's clear that the curriculum is well thought out and tailored to each child’s developmental stage, and it’s been amazing watching our children thrive. We feel incredibly lucky to have found such a fantastic... Read more >

Goddard School of Folsom is a clean, safe environment for kids to grow and learn. They have great events that range from music programs to sports programs that come around to help broaden your child's interests. Highly recommend Goddard to anyone Read more >

We love being a member of the Goddard family. I did a lot of tours in EDH and Folsom over a year ago when I needed to go back to work. As a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, I am VERY picky with childcare centers, especially for an infant. Choosing Goddard was easy! There was no close comparison in the quality of care, safety and education she would receive there.

When we first started, Goddard was very accommodating with things like my daughter’s breast milk intake needs and never made me feel like I was inconveniencing anyone with my requests (and there were many). I also valued that their cleaning and sanitation practices are top of the line.

They provide multiple daily updates on her status and photos which is very reassuring as a parent. If you have a concern/question or want to get a message to your child’s teacher, they reply almost immediately via text... Read more >

Goddard Folsom has done a great job helping our boys learn and grow - academically and socially. The school has created a supportive environment with a strong curriculum. The teachers here do a phenomenal job - they care, they are supportive with your child's needs, and make your children feel welcome. We have had our boys here for the past four years, and it has gotten better and better. Leadership does an awesome job curating fun events like Pancakes with Santa, Trunk-or-Treat, etc., which is so nice for the families and kiddos to connect outside of the traditional school day. We appreciate Goddard's philosophy and the fact that we feel our children are safe and taken care of. If you are in the Folsom/El Dorado Hills areas, I would recommend Goddard as an ideal childcare and preschool option. Read more >

Our son has been at Goddard for two years now. We have been very impressed with the care he’s received, we have met great friends and he has flourished. Would recommend to anyone who wants that piece of mind that their child is living his best life! Read more >

Goddard has been a wonderful school for my infant daughter. She has done a variety of sensory activities and has made plenty of friends.

I enjoy the pictures I receive of my daughter doing the activities and daily updates so i know my baby is doing well. Read more >

Great teachers who genuinely care about the well being of the children in their classroom. We are very happy with our choice to send our 2 year-old daughter here. Read more >

We love Goddard family, Folsom. My son has been here for almost two years now. I have seen lot of improvements and developments in him. Very disciplined environment. Teachers are so encouraging, very kind and friendly. I was so skeptical in the beginning for few weeks as a mother it was so hard for me to see my kid having hard days away from home for almost 8hours a day. But over few months he got so used to the teachers they have made so comfortable and feel like home ambience. We like to take this opportunity to Thank the teachers and Goddard team!

Lots of Regards,

The Goddard has been a safe environment for my daughter to grow and learn. The staff is very communicative and has been very open to working with us through hard drop offs, nap protests and more. Read more >

My daughter has been in this school since she was an infant. The teachers in the infant class go above and beyond to make sure she eats and sleeps well. Their communication with the parents has been excellent. They also did a great job with transitioning to the toddler class. It’s been a joy to see my daughter grow and learn here. I am excited for the coming years. Read more >

This school is so great! My little is in the under 2 class and loves it! They take such great care of the kiddos there and always send the cutest updates on the app. The school hosts lots of family events and does a lot for different charities as well. Glad I made the choice to bring my little here. It does fall on the higher end price of child care options, but well worth the peace of mind knowing all they do for the kids, family, and community! We LOVE it! Read more >

We love Goddard Folsom! Our daughter has been enrolled there since she was 4.5 months and she’s now almost 2. I was having hard feelings about going back to work, but staying at home was not a feasible option.

From the moment we toured Goddard, we knew we had found the right people to entrust with our girl. All of the directors and teachers know every kid’s name, and there is genuine joy from the staff every time a child walks through the front door. They send us daily updates on how my daughter is doing, what she did throughout the day (AMAZING and DYNAMIC curriculum!) what she ate, and even when she went to the bathroom (as a parent, you need to know!) from day one my husband and I have always felt that our daughter was safe and incredibly well loved and cared for by the teachers and directors.

The staff are responsive to any calls/texts/emails right away,... Read more >
