The Goddard School of Blaine

Could not have asked for a more caring and considerate place for our child to spend his early development. We will always be grateful for everything the teachers and staff have done to prepare our child for the next stage in his life, and he will always remember the great friends and experiences he had here!

I have wonderful experiences with the Goddard in Blaine. The staff is caring, patient, and truly dedicated to helping each child grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The environment is clean, safe, welcoming, and full of positive energy. I noticed a huge improvement in confidence, communication, and learning skills. The teachers keep great communication with families and always make us feel involved and supported. I highly recommend Goddard in Blaine to any parent looking for a nurturing and educational environment for their child.

We adore The Goddard School. We have been there for about 6 months now and our toddler has grown by leaps and bounds academically, socially, emotionally, and in his language and motor skills while he's been there. The client experience is beyond anything that we have experienced and we have been in a few different child care settings including other daycare. The staff and Uncle Mike, the owner own our experience day in and day out and surprise and delight us consistently. They are always going above and beyond our expectations. I know that our child is safe, secure, and happy. What else could I ask for?

We found The Goddard of Blaine through a family member and a friend. When we started our search for childcare this was our second and last tour stop we made and have not looked back since enrolling our kiddo. We feel how much our kid is loved and cared for each and every day, not just by her own teachers but by Uncle Mike and other office staff along with teachers who she hasn't even had yet in the older rooms who greet her by her name and say hi in the hallways when coming or going.

They really do go above and beyond for their students and families. They are always putting on events for everyone to enjoy. They are also very open, honest and transparent when it comes to their Quality Assurance inspections that pop up throughout the year, which we greatly appreciate!

Circling back around- Since this was our first kiddo it was kind of scary and nerve wrecking...

The Goddard School of Blaine has been the best choice for our son since birth. He has grown so much with the love and care from the teachers and staff here. We always recommend Goddard when anyone asks or seems interested in a safe place for their child. Truly grateful for this place!!!!

Goddard has been wonderful in helping acclimate our two year old to childcare. The teachers really care about making school a positive experience for kiddos, and took time learning our kiddos routines and preferences. The app updates are amazing for my mom-anxiety. Overall, Goddard is comparable in price to other similar care facilities in the area and clearly takes pride in providing excellent care!

I Love the Goddard School in Blaine for their diverse learning curriculum and organized environment. Can definitely see big changes and development week over week. Will recommend to any parent who values a head start for their kid.

My two-year-old used to cry every day at drop-off at his old daycare. After 11 months there and more than 10 teachers and three room transitions, I started wondering if this was just… normal? As a first-time mom with a child attending only two days a week, I didn’t have much daycare experience to compare it to.

I’m so grateful we decided to have a conversation with Goddard Blaine and ultimately make the switch.

Within just a few weeks, my son was asking if he could go to his new school — and the tears at drop-off have disappeared. Now he gets disappointed when we drive by and he doesn’t get dropped off! He comes home singing new songs, talking about what he learned, and clearly excited about his days and wanting to go back to play with his teachers and classmates.

If you’re looking for a place that really knows your child (and you by name),...

Goddard in Blaine is top tier. Great energy from Mike and staff. My son’s classroom teacher helps my wife everyday drop my son off. She knows exactly how to distract him and even ensures others know what to do on days she is out.

I have not had a negative experience since starting my son here.

We have absolutely loved our experience at The Goddard School in Blaine! The teachers and staff genuinely care about each child and create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where my son loves to go everyday.

Our son, Gannon, has grown so much during his time here—not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. He comes home excited to share what he has learned each day, and it's clear that the teachers put tremendous thought and effort into creating meaningful learning experiences.

We especially appreciate the curriculum, how organized the days are, how patient the teachers are, and how the whole school feels like a family. All the staff knows all the kids names and there are a lot of hugs each day.

Thank you to the entire Goddard team for helping shape such a positive early learning experience. We highly recommend The Goddard...

Goddard school is the absolute best! We feel like family there & our daughter has learned so so much! I 100% recommend!

If you have a son, be prepared for them to treat him differently and eventually kick him out. My son was labeled as a bad kid early on (words former employees told us), so they constantly sent him home and wrote him up for typical toddler behaviors. They had us convinced something was seriously wrong with our son to the point we had a full 5 hour evaluation for him with the Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain where his official diagnosis was "a typically developing 3 year old that is sometimes advanced." The doctor's even told us, and I quote "we want to validate your feelings that the daycare was the problem." So far I know of 4 other parents who had the same experience, all boys, and that number is growing. The Anoka-Hennepin district even told us that Goddard has a reputation of this.

Since switching daycares, my son is thriving! He loves his...

Highly recommend. The staff are engaged, qualified, and our entire time there the staff has been the same in my sons room. Leadership is on site all day every day which was important to us. Communication is frequent and clear. The infant teachers in particular are phenomenal.

We have been with Goddard since 2024 and to say we are extremely impressed is an understatement. This school has an awesome curriculum and a very present owner who knows EVERYONES name. We consider our kids teachers to be family. This place is well worth the investment.

We absolutely love the Goddard School of Blaine. It is evident how passionate the owner is about the school and the students. He knows each student and parent by name. The teachers in my daughters infant room are kind and patient. They don't seem burned out like many teachers at other daycares are. I would highly recommend this school for children of any age.

We recently started at Goddard Blaine and have been incredibly impressed by all aspects of the school. All of the staff are dedicated to creating a warm, welcoming, engaging and positive environment for our kids to grow. Additionally, the communication from leadership is frequent, transparent, and thoughtful. I highly recommend this school and wish we would have started here sooner!

Our son is doing so well there. The teachers are amazing, activities great, and facilities are wonderful.

We picked Blaine Goddard because of their extremely high safety standards and expectations. The teachers, staff, and other families are kind and welcoming. The staff and admin communicate often and clearly which I really appreciate. I also really like how leadership is in the classrooms often making sure staff is using best practices or helping with behaviors as needed.
Highly recommended!

Amazing teachers and staff. My daughter has learned so much and I’ve enjoyed being a part of their amazing school community.

The Goddard School in Blaine is a place that every single staff person love our children as their own. We feel incredibly blessed to find The Goddard School. We absolutely recommend The Goddard School to anyone!

Goddard is awesome!!

My daughter started Goddard as a school age student- and she absolutely loves it. She would rather come to Goddard than to her Schools APlus program.

With that I would encourage anyone to come. The price can be scary but my rule of thumb is that “you get what you pay for.” Yes, it’s more expensive then other centers but the quality of curriculum and the care for the children you receive is much more important than going to a center that has lower tuition. When you walk into the school, you will feel the welcoming atmosphere and leave feeling like you gained another family. ♥️

We could not be more grateful for The Goddard School of Blaine! Both of our kids attended from infant (our youngest) through Pre-K, and it truly feels like family here—not a typical “center” at all. The owners, Mike & Nini, go above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming environment where every child is cared for as an individual.

The teachers are incredible—patient, kind, and genuinely invested in the children. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows every single day. Our daughter had very specific dietary needs due to allergies, and we always felt 100% confident and comfortable with how they handled her care. The level of communication is outstanding; they pay attention to the little details that matter most to families.

On top of all that, they host fun, thoughtful family events throughout the year that make everyone feel appreciated and...

Highly recommended! This was an amazing experience for my three boys. Goddard went above and beyond to prepare my children for Elementary School and they are all thriving in their classes. The teachers and staff were all great and we have made lifelong friends. Thank you Goddard of Blaine MN!!!

Our daughter has been attending Goddard in Blaine for 2.5 years, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff is truly wonderful—caring, patient, and so engaged in her growth. We’ve watched her open up, learn so much, and thrive in an environment where she feels safe and supported. It’s clear the teachers are invested in each child’s development, which has meant so much to our family.

We absolutely recommend The Goddard School to anyone in the Blaine area or nearby. It’s been a wonderful place for our daughter, and we’re so grateful for the care and education she’s received here.

Outstanding school!!!!!!

The Goddard School of Blaine has become our second home.

My daughter (5.5) recently graduated from their Pre-K class. Saying she is academically and socially prepared for Kindergarten is an understatement. The teachers at Goddard Blaine are phenomenal educators, care takers, and have become our family. I also really appreciate the frequent communication with the owner, directors and teachers. I never feel in the dark or like a bother.

Our son (1.5) is currently still enrolled and is thriving. It is amazing to me how much he has learned and grown since he has been there. Plus, I appreciate their commitment to maintaining a very clean and healthy school (which made it way easier to send our kids there during the pandemic).

If I was allowed to give 10 stars I would. You will not regret sending your kids here.
