The Goddard School in Edina

We’ve had such a great experience at The Goddard School in Edina. The teachers and staff genuinely care about our daughter’s development and are so excited about and invested in her progress. We really feel like she’s thriving and learning so much every day.

We also love the variety and creativity of the activities they do with the kids. The weekly yoga classes are such a fun touch, and they do a great job balancing playtime and learning, even for toddlers.

They’re also wonderful about involving parents and keeping us updated. The app is fantastic! We get daily pictures and notes which make us feel connected to her day.

Another thing we really appreciate is how much they recognize and support their teachers. You can tell they value their staff, and it creates such a positive environment overall.

We’re so happy we chose Goddard for...

We have had such a wonderful experience at The Goddard School of Edina. The owner is very involved and knows every family by name. I know my child is in good hands and I've never questioned the level of care he receives. I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing I have nothing to worry about during the day while my son is there.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this daycare! The staff are caring, attentive, and truly make the kids feel safe and loved. Our son has learned and grown so much since starting here, and he’s always excited to go each day. We’re so grateful for the amazing care and highly recommend them to other families!

We truly couldn’t be more grateful for this daycare and the incredible teachers. This is not just a place where kids are watched, it is a place where they are taught, supported, and challenged in age-appropriate ways. The curriculum is structured but still playful, which means kids are building real skills while still getting to be kids. You can tell they know the kids well, not just their routines but their personalities, strengths, and what they need to grow.

Our two children both attended
The Goddard School of Edina. The teachers are patient, attentive, and incredibly dedicated to helping each child learn and grow at their own pace. The owner, Hetal, is onsite daily and clearly cares about the quality of instruction and care the children receive. We would recommend this school to anyone!

The Goddard School of Edina takes such great care of our kids! The curriculum is varied, interesting, and joyful, and the teachers are so caring, fun, attentive, and friendly. They create a loving and enriching learning environment every day, and we're so grateful to be a part of this community.

The Goddard Edina staff are all wonderful and very clearly invested in all the kids. They handle big feelings with care, developing minds with lots of different activities and play, and give out plenty of love and hugs.

Goddard in Edina has been a phenomenal experience for our family over the past year. All of the teachers are incredibly caring and the curriculum is spot on for our child. Clean facility and generally a very professional, well-run, and great educational environment!

The best school, I’m so happy with my choice. My child is so loved and cared for.

The Goddard community has been extremely welcoming to my family. They communicate effectively and timely. I appreciate the openness to ensure every child is met where they are and where they need extra support. The teachers are flexible and caring. Additionally, they understand the importance of going outside and moving throughout the classroom as needed for child development. I would recommend this childcare center to everyone in the area.

This is a great location, with a great staff and great program. Good people to work with.

The staff is very communicative and responsive. The teachers do a good job of making our child feel welcomed and comfortable, and they have a big variety of activities they get to do. And the facility is kept very clean.

We can and do recommend Goddard to anybody who will listen. The school is clean and safe, the curriculum is great, but I want to spend my time talking about the staff.

The staff has made our experience at Goddard unforgettable. We love every single person we’ve interacted with, not because they’re smart (they are), or they give our child a great education (they do), but because we KNOW they are teaching our son how to be a compassionate, kind, giving, and nurturing person. You can get a great education in a lot of places in Minnesota (we are very lucky), but we suspect that it’s less common to be moved to tears thinking about how Good the staff is at Goddard. Hetal has been an absolutely world class team and we completely adore them.

My infant son goes to school here and we love it so much. The teachers love your child as their own, so invested in their growth and truly become part of your family. There are not enough positive words to say about The Goddard School of Edina.

The teachers at Goddard are so caring! They really make you feel comfortable and confident caring for your child(ren) throughout the day. The facility is very clean and they have a great sanitizing processes to keep the kids healthy!

Our toddler started here in June and her teachers, Hetal, and Glenna made sure that her transition was comfortable for all of us. The owner, Hetal, is onsite and is involved with the teachers and curriculum. We do enjoy the daily reports and pictures we get as well as it helps us stay involved and continue lessons at home. Everyday our daughter comes home with something new to tell us about, showing us a yoga pose, telling us what food she did or didn’t like… the list goes on. She loves going to daycare!

Our 2 young children love their time here!
We were unhappy at their previous school and eventually had to be "that family" that pulled our kids with nowhere to go, but The Goddard School of Edina welcomed us as soon as they had room for our kiddos and we could not be happier to have made the switch! Their days are full of fun, yet educational activities and we love seeing and hearing about their daily adventures from both our kids and the Tadpoles app at the end of the day. In addition to regular educational stations and activities during the day, they also get to do Spanish classes, water/splash days, kid-friendly yoga, and more! We're so thankful we found The Goddard School of Edina.

We had a wonderful experience at Goddard with our daughter in all aspects of their care and education. Goddard started watching our daughter right after my wife's maternity leave ended, and did a phenomenal job caring for her in each stage through being a relative newborn to a walking and babbling toddler. In addition to a curriculum that kept our daughter engaged and excited to go to Goddard, they kept us up to date with regular pictures and updates.

We could not be happier with the environment Hetal and her staff have created, and would recommend Goddard to anyone looking for high quality and educational care for their children.

Nothing but great things to say about the Goddard. Our 5 year old has attended from birth and can now read prior to K and got every question right on her entrance exam! Our 1 year old giggles and smiles at drop off- best feeling in the world. The educators all have a passion for teaching- and it makes all the difference in the world.

As parents, my husband and I are so happy with our child's experience at the Goddard School! The teachers are amazing and wonderful. The kids love playing in the indoor fun lab as well in the outdoor playground and constantly come home with adorable works of art and crafts! The teachers teach them to count in different languages among story time, kinder musik and even yoga every week! They really look out for each kid's well being. We love the school!

We have had a wonderful experience with our child at this school. Our child loves attending school and has learned more than I thought possible. Excellent and caring staff!
