The Goddard School of Bel Air, MD.

This Goddard school is amazing. I’ve had my 3 children enrolled for the past decade. The environment, friendliness, and positive culture have made the school feel almost like a second home to kids. During Covid, the school had rigorous protections in place yet still did everything possible to help stay open for families who weren’t quarantined. They also saw a community need of early elementary aged students who needed a place to go during virtual school and created a room where I could place my daughter to be watched and complete her online school when my wife and I had to return to work. The staff is always friendly and inviting and even the rotation of part time help and aides are great with children and thoroughly vetted. The school hosts tons of fun events throughout the year from trunk or treat, to Father’s Day grilling, and have even had excellent art gallery nights with live...

We love it here!! The staff, teachers, and owners are all personable. I love the honest feedback I receive and all of the pictures I get of my child throughout the day. If there is any kind of incident, I am notified immediately. I absolutely love how involved and helpful the owners are. They are always open to answering any of my questions or concerns I’ve ever had. I feel as though my child is safe and thriving. I love the activities that are planned throughout the year and having different learning opportunities and people from the community come in to making learning fun and hands on. I highly recommend The Goddard School of Bel Air!!!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Goddard School in Bel Air. Our family has had all three children go through this school, and each has had a wonderful experience with both the teachers and the management. I'm so happy we found this wonderful school!

I’m extremely satisfied with The Goddard School! The teachers are exceptional, and the curriculum is well-structured. My son has made tremendous progress and learned so much since joining. The staff are dedicated, caring, and create a nurturing environment. Highly recommend!

The most honest review of this facility comes from the students who go there. The graduation ceremony was on Thursday and one of the presentations included video clips of each graduate stating what they wanted to be as a grown up. An answer that kept popping up: a teacher.

That told my husband and I that the kids themselves truly admire and like the staff here. We’ve seen the advances in reading, math, shapes, colors, etc. over time but the joy she has in going to school wasn’t to learn.. it was being with the teachers and class… which makes learning fun.

Hats off to Mr. Eric, Mrs. Brenda, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Laurel. They do a fantastic job in maintaining a secure facility, strong communication, fun learning, and a great attitude.

We feel at ease every day knowing our two kids are in safe, caring, and capable hands at the Goddard School of Bel Air. The teachers and administrative staff are attentive, warm, and truly invested in our children’s development. Both of our kids are thriving! We couldn’t ask for a better place.

My child attended Goddard from about 2 years old until she went into Kindergarten. The facility was always clean and they gave lots of updates/pictures through the app. I still have all the pictures they sent and my daughter still regards Goddard well (she is in second grade now). Mrs.Brenda and Mr.Eric were always friendly and willing to work with us if anything came up. I would definitely pick Bel Air Goddard again if I could!

The Goddard School in Bel Air is the best! Not only does my daughter get a great education but she also is loved by everyone at the school.

Words cannot fully express my gratitude to the Goddard Belair Family. Eric, Brenda, and their passionate team genuinely love and care about the kids they serve. My journey with Goddard began in 2021 when my first child started daycare. Like any parent, I was initially nervous, but I quickly realized I could trust the teachers and that my child was in excellent hands.

When I had my second child in 2022 and my third in 2023, I immediately enrolled them in Goddard. The warmth and dedication of the staff have made this journey so much easier, and I am beyond thankful for the love and care they have shown my family.

We moved to Severna Park in August 2024. As part of the transition, I enrolled my children in a new daycare to begin in the Fall of 2024. I assumed this daycare (which was not a Goddard location) would meet the same high standards I had experienced...

The owners are wonderful and committed to the school. The long tenure of the teachers speaks to how well the school is run. Would highly recommend.

As first time parents we were looking for an environment where our child can learn and socialize. We are extremely pleased with The Goddard School in Belair. We weren’t looking for a day care center we wanted our child in a stimulating and organized setting where he can be around others his age and be encouraged to learn. Since he is an only child that is important for us. The teachers are great, the staff is friendly and the environment is clean and safe. We recently started attending Goddard as part time, uncertain on how he would adjust. He has done so well that we decided to enroll on a full time basis. We appreciate Goddards structure and curriculum. The fact that our child is eagerly running to the school doors and hugs his teacher speaks volumes.

Our family couldn't be happier with Goddard. Our son has blossomed academically and socially under their guidance over the years.

From the moment we walk through the door we are greeted with friendliness. Our son gets so excited to go to school which I attribute a lot of this to the owners and staff. The owners and staff here are truly remarkable - they not only have a passion for early childhood education but also a genuine love for the children in their care. They truly go above and beyond to ensure every child feels supported, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

If you're looking for a preschool where your child will thrive and where you'll feel like part of a caring community, we wholeheartedly recommend Goddard!

Safe and clean facility. Family feel. Expert staff.

Clean, very friendly environment that nutures education. My family has had a great experience with Goodard. They are the best around!

Highly recommend The Goddard School of Bel Air. We have loved all of our daughter's teachers so far and the staff are very responsive to any concerns we may have. We feel very comfortable sending her to Goddard!

Goddard Bel Air is an amazing choice for child care and learning. Everyone we have met who works at Goddard has been amazing, attentive and everyone seems to know each child well. I have never had to worry since my daughter started attending. The teachers continuously communicate in a timely manner, and the owners are very easy to talk to and responsive. The decision to send our child to Goddard was mainly to socialize her around other kids her age. Since attending, our child has grown both socially and academically. We are very happy with the decision to send our child to Goddard.

The Goddard School of Bel Air was our first experience with early education childcare and we could not have asked for a better experience!! The faculty and facilities set it apart from others. We experienced great and caring teachers in both the infant and toddler rooms. The teachers know the kids and are engaged with them daily not only on creative learning play but also to their individual needs. We really enjoyed the environment there and the effort the owners make to make sure each family is happy. The school does lots of themes and family involved activities . All the teachers are amazing and the staff work so hard to be efficient and communicative. We received pictures and messages through the app each day. I was very happy to see what and how our kids were doing each day. The owners Brenda and Eric are so sweet and supportive. Our kids have grown and thrived tremendously here...

I can’t recommend them enough. My daughter started when she was almost two. Great teachers and owners. They are always prompt to respond to any question or concerns we have. They send pics of your child’s day. My daughter has made great friends and has learned so much!

It’s hard to fully describe the greatness of this school in words. Our son spent nearly two years at this school and my wife and I could not be more pleased with the care he received and how much he developed under the great teachers that are employed there. From the teachers to the directors and owners, this school is first class. The only reason that our son is not still enrolled is that we have relocated out of state. The school recently completed a great expansion that created an indoor gymnasium and improved the outdoor playground - for the few weeks our son was there to enjoy them prior to moving, he absolutely loved them!

My wife and I have put both of our kids through The Goddard School in Bel Air, MD. The staff is incredibly experienced and the Owners are up to date on the latest in pre-school education. When we first met Brenda and Eric Walker, we were immediately impressed with the fact that Eric worked for many years at The Goddard School HQ and he was very familiar with what the best and most progressive schools across the country were doing to help their students and families. We have been very pleased with the results that we've seen in our children and we feel they are better prepared to start kindergarten as a result of attending The Goddard School in Bel Air, MD. Both children were in the program for close to 3 years.

This school manages to provide the perfect mix of education and nurturing from the youngest rooms through pre-K. We’ve been at Goddard for 4 years and my oldest is very well prepared both socially and academically for kindergarten next year. We can’t thank the owners, teachers and staff enough for all that they do. Highly recommend!!

This location is great! Everyone is so nice and they take good care of the children!

Our decision to switch to Goddard has been the best decision we've made for our kids. After discovering some major problems with our care provider at the time, we visited Eric and Brenda one afternoon to view the school. It took almost no time for us to make the change, and Brenda and Eric worked to find spots for both of our boys as quickly as possible.

The best way to describe the excellence of Goddard - Bel Air is to tell our story. Our sons came to Goddard at ages 3 1/2 (Aidan) and 6 months (Riley). Aidan had spent two prior years at another local pre-school that we came to discover was not providing the services for which we paid. As a result, when Aidan began at Goddard, some of the quantifiable areas of development were lacking, particularly gross and fine motor skills. In just 3 months, Aidan's developmental levels were evaluated and we met with his teacher for...
