The Goddard School of Folsom

Safe, compassionate staff, and high quality appropriate curriculum Read more >

Goddard School is a great school and I recommend it to everyone with children. My son has learned so much since joining the Goddard family. The teachers are always friendly and approachable. I am confident that my child will be ready for kindergarten when that time comes. Read more >

My daughter has been attending for a few months now in the Seahorse Class. I was very impressed with how quickly she adjusted and how supportive the teachers were with this big transition for our family. We love how much she is learning and growing each day, and we trust we’ve made a good choice for her early development. Read more >

My children are thriving in the nurturing environment created by the Goddard staff and I'm thrilled to have found such an amazing place for my children to start their educational development!! Read more >

Great experience! We took our baby here and couldn’t have been more happier. The teachers were amazing and really cared about our child. The center was clean and organized. Great communication. Highly recommend this place! Read more >

My child has been attending this daycare/preschool since she was an infant. We were lucky to have gotten blessed with such good hearted & hands on teachers. The curriculum as my child has gotten older is exceeding my expectations. When we are around family & friends, they're always complimenting how smart & intelligent my child is. A huge thanks to this school. The directors & on site owner all have great, positive personalities and have been super helpful with any questions. Highly recommended! Read more >

We have been with Goddard for more than 3 years now and we have been very happy with the cleanliness, safety and quality of care provided. Read more >

Goddard of Folsom is not only the best place to work as a teacher but the most incredible school for your little one. My daughter is in the Sharks class for almost a year ago and had been thriving so much, I am very confident she is ready for kindergarten because how incredible the teachers are at Goddard.
Goddard truly has such amazing teaches and staff that my little one is always smiling and ready each day to learn. Read more >

My husband and I were looking for a good early development school for our daughter. We found this school through a recommendation from a friend and I must say I am very content. There is no school that I have encountered that values the friendships, teachers and goals for children. Everyday I pick up my daughter from school after nap, she always tells me her unique activity of the day. The teachers are amazing here. My daughter started in the dolphins class age 2 and now she is in whales at age 4. I am pleased to see that this location is secure with badge access and the directors and Owners are approachable and very well connected with the parents from start of day to end of day. I also appreciate the beautiful events that keep the parents engaged in their child’s milestones and holidays. Thank you Goddard for giving our daughter continuous opportunities of growth in this...

Great school, well organized and calendar is always fun with fun activities and events to participate in. They don't send your kid home for every runny nose, they work with you on issues that arise and staff has become a source of good hugs, adventures and variety of learning for my 4 year old. They also held options for Winter Soccer classes held right there on campus during school time which was an extra fun surprise! Coming in from out of town they allowed me to hold a spot in advance and for a great price. They operate very well. I'd recommend them to any family. We are lucky to be part of Goddard School.

Folsom Goddard feels like family. I’ve been lucky enough to have all 3 of my boys attend and the teachers and staff are amazing. They always have a monthly calendar that has themed weeks and dress up days (which the boys love). I have no idea how the directors and management team do it, but they develop a relationship with every child there to the point where they can tell my identical twin boys apart and know their interests, likes and dislikes. They also go all out on school events: trunk or treat, winter concert (for the upper classes) and the pancake breakfast with Santa just to name a few. These events have helped my boys make memories with their Goddard friends that will last a lifetime. The teachers are also amazing! They excel at building nurturing relationships and getting to know their students. The amount of care and patience they have is amazing and has helped make my boys... Read more >

Our experience with Goddard has been excellent. The standards are very high and it’s way more than a “daycare.” Our toddler’s development has been enhanced by Goddard Folsom. Ms. Kaylee and her staff are trusted by our family. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality early education program for their child. Read more >

Amazing place can’t go wrong here. Safe, secure, and educational. My son loves the kids that go there and the families are all nice. Read more >

My son soared in development and speaking. Noticeable changes in his confidence and ability to talk with other kids. School is safe and secure and makes you feel confident that your child is well take care of. Read more >

Goddard is very engaged with our daughter. Transitioning into daycare is never easy and they assisted us with this transition for us and for our daughter. They have a great schedule with different activities and themed days to make the school days fun! The teachers are great and attentive. The owner is also very engaged with all the families and her business! Sometimes it feels las if my daughter is their only priority when I know they do this for all the children, but it seems as if my child is the only one in their care! Very pleased thus far.

My (almost) 3 year old son has been attending Goddard Folsom for 1.5 years now and we recently enrolled our 12 week old. As any parent would understand, it’s hard to leave our babies under the care of someone else, but I have the most trust in the child care at Goddard. Both of my children are constantly engaged with well thought out curriculum filled with Spanish, sign language, math, arts and crafts, yoga, you name it-they’re doing it. Even my 12 week old is finger painting (amazing)! I can see the growth and learning every day - literally and figuratively - as I love getting photos of my kids daily. All of the teachers and administrative staff seem to love taking care of my children and treat them with kindness. The peace of mind knowing they’re in a caring, safe environment while they’re not at home is everything. Thank you Goddard! Read more >

We love goddard been here for over a year. My son loves it and has learned so much in a short amount of time. Kaylee and her staff really go out of their way to make families feel welcomed at their school. We also loves all the activities the school provides! Great school our baby will also be attending Read more >

We’ve only been at Goddard for about two months but so far it has been going really well! We’ve left three other daycares in the area and felt like we would never find the right one for us.

Something we love is how calm, clean, and organized it feels. I love the separation of the classrooms and the adorable sea life names. I feel like my kids are safe when I drop off. The entry way is super secure and requires multiple steps to enter the building. The teachers acknowledge us when we enter and I feel like my child will remain in that classroom after I leave (felt unsafe in the chaos at a previous daycare and worried about my child trying to follow me out, unnoticed).

The teachers are caring and the front staff is very responsive by text!!! It’s hard to wait until the end of the day, but the daily reports are extremely thorough. You get it as soon as you pick... Read more >

Had a tour of this incredible school. They are intentional and patient with the kids, you can tell walking through the halls the kids feel safe, secure and engaged. Read more >

Goddard Teachers in Folsom are wonderful people who make leaving your child at daycare less stressful. Every day, our child leaves for school full of enthusiasm and returns home with new knowledge, words, songs, and tricks. When she's there, I don't ever worry about her. I'm glad because I know she's happy and learning. What else exist? Goddard, go! Read more >

We love The Goddard School (Folsom)!! I have both my kids here, 2 yo and 4 yo. They love their teachers and are always so excited when we walk into the school! We are always greeted by one of the admins and love the warm Good Morning welcome. Once I drop my kids off, I always leave feeling very comfortable that they are in the best hands. If I ever have a question/concern or if they do, we can easily text eachother throughout the day with quick responses. I love that! One of my favorite things, is the Tadpools App the school uses for all parents to get a day to day run down of how the day went, including adorable photos of my kids, updates, curriculum for each week, and teachers comments or announcements. It is a really great App! Overall, we give our school a 10/10. Ms. Kaylee, the owner, is also so easy to work with and I love her positive, energetic attitude. I am SO happy Ms.... Read more >

I have two kids enrolled at Goddard, one in Pre-K and one in Preschool. We just moved to the area and this school came highly recommended… I now see why! Goddard staff has been extremely welcoming and my kids fit right in. While it took my youngest some time to adjust, watching the nurturing teachers and administration put me at ease leaving at drop off. The on-site owner, Ms. Kaylee, and her team are so passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to make the children AND the parents feel welcome and comfortable with their communication. It warms my heart how happy and excited they are to go to school and learn each day. I especially love the daily pictures and reports of the weekly activities. There’s a parent app, Tadpoles, that shows what the kids are learning so I can ask them questions about their day.

The facility is extremely clean and the security... Read more >

As a first time mom I had a lot of feelings around putting my daughter in daycare, and wanted to find a facility that I felt would not only meet her every day needs but would love and nurture her. Goddard exceeded my expectations. I started my daughter at this school when she was 6 months old, and from day one it felt like she was a part of the Goddard family. On top of the daily pictures and detailed reports about the day, her teacher made an effort to step outside and check in with me at least weekly and this meant the world to me as due to Covid we weren't allowed in the building yet (now we are :)). They worked with my daughter on the schedule that I had asked them to follow and I was thrilled and astonished as I watched her thrive and learn so much! With each transition to the next classroom as she got older she continued to grow and thrive. I cannot say enough good things about... Read more >

Both of our kids have been attending this school for almost three years now. I cannot tell you how amazed we have been with with everything. From their attention to detail when it comes to safety, the staff they hire and the incredible activities they plan for the kids on a daily basis. They have different themed days every week and our son gets so excited to dress up in whatever the weeks theme is. I was also incredibly impressed with their response to COVID. While the world around us seemed to be acting irrational, they were making well thought out practical decisions while maintaining a level of safety that keep us considered parents comfortable. If you are looking for child care in the Folsom/El Dorado Hills area, look no more! Read more >
