The Goddard School of Folsom

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!

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

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...

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.

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!

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....

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...

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...

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...

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!

We started with Goddard back in October when our little guy was 17 months old. He is now 21 months old and we have not regretted enrolling him one bit! He has thrived with his social skills, sign language skills, motor skills, and even language skills since going to school.

Prior to moving to California, our son had never been to daycare due to the pandemic and we were both nervous and excited to get him signed up. How would he do? How would he tolerate it? Any mama gets nervous about this.

But we have not looked back! He loves going to school which is evident by his happy strut into school carrying his lunchbox. Every teacher and staff we have met have exceeded our expectations! They are always quick to answer questions via text or email, post daily updates (including precious photos of the daily activities), and extremely friendly to all of us.

We were looking for the best place for our Benny to go and were looking for something fun and also educational. We found the Goddard home and we just absolutely love it. We are so happy to be a part of the Goddard family!

Goddard Folsom is an amazing place full of teachers who take the anxiety out of leaving your kid at daycare. Our toddler heads to school with excitement and comes home with new skills, words, songs, and tricks every day. I never worry about her when she is there. I am happy, I know she is learning and she's happy. What else is there? Go, Goddard!

Our daughter went to the Goddard school in Folsom for about seven months, she absolutely loved it! She would get very excited when we would pull up to "my" school. When she first started she was in the toddlers classroom (Sea turtles) and loved Ms. Teresa. Just before she left she was in Ms. Marina's class (Seals) and really enjoyed her new friends in that class as well. Both great teachers! We only left because we relocated to Fresno, otherwise we would continue to have our daughter there. In the short amount of time she was there we noticed a huge difference in her vocabulary and overall performance. It truly was a pleasure having our daughter here and would recommend this school to anyone looking for a preschool program.

My son started here on short notice due to my previous situation ending abruptly. It ended up being the best thing we could have done for our son and I wish I would have started him sooner.Within two months he has learned 5 sign language signs and can communicate his needs to us. He has gotten into a regular nap schedule and he is so stimulated through out the day he now sleeps through the night. The teachers are far more than babysitters. They create lesson plans and activities to help develope these little ones. You can tell they genuinly care about these kids and love their jobs. It is worth every penny!! The Owner, Kaylee, is always open for conversation and she is so easy to talk to. Plus she loves kids! You’ll frequently see her interacting with them and checking in on the classrooms. You can tell this job is her passion which makes every parent feel confident in dropping off...

The Goddard school is the best preschool and toddler program in Folsom. We recently moved to Folsom from the Bay Area. We toured 10+ schools and Goddard was by far the best for their STEAM based curriculum and environment. I have two children, one in pre-k and one in the toddler classroom.

The pre-k program curriculum is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. My son is learning yoga, Spanish, reading, writing, typing, coding, science, math and still has time for imaginative play. He absolutely loves going to school everyday. On top of all that, they have visitors like dentists, musicians, artists, and others to inspire the children. It’s incredible. Oh and there’s also chess club! I feel confident my son will be more than ready for kindergarten.

The toddler program is equally impressive. My son is exposed to daily singing and reading. He explores his senses and...

My rating is based on our most current experience, though we’ve been with this school for about a year and a half. Our child is about to graduate from the infant program, which is one of the programs referenced often in the recent contentious reviews. It’s true that there were several staff changes, which we too were very concerned by, because our child had to get used to the new teacher each time. The owner respectfully listened and took our concerns seriously; overall, she handled the staff changes well, with clear communication. Most importantly, staffing is stable now; our son is loving his current teachers and thriving. As parents, we sincerely hope that the school remains dedicated to striving for continuous improvement so our son and his schoolmates all continue to flourish in a happy and healthy environment. We’re expecting a newborn next year, and are pleased by the quality...

My Daughter has attended the Goddard school for over two years now and hands down the best school we could have her attend. As a parent there are few individuals that you trust with your Children. Since day one attending the Goddard school she has been taken care of by the best and we could not be more thankful for all the staff that treat her as their own. She absolutely loves her school and gets excited to go! The Goddard school gives the feel that we are one big Family. My Daughter has advanced so much since attending and keeps advancing. They take education serious and make it fun for the kids. I would recommend the Goddard school to any parent that wants the best education, fun activities and a loving atmosphere for your Child. I am so very thankful my Daughter is having this amazing experience.

My kid loves Miss. Ruthie and she learnt a lot since she has joined Goddard school. The Daily activity report keeps me posted about their activity .The security system they follow is the best and keeps me tension free.I love the faculty, They are very understanding and courteous. My kid Aria loves her school and so do i..

The staff is amazing and caring. The programs are designed with your child in mind.

The Goddard school is an amazing experience for my child and myself as well. My Daughter has been going here for around two years so far and she has learned so much. They make learning fun and treat each child as their own. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for the best for their child!
