The Goddard School of Chantilly (South Riding)

Our daughter has been going to this location since she was 10 months old. I can’t lie, it was hard to trust anyone outside of my family with our baby but, this school, this experience, has been great. Love the school. Love the staff. Love the events. Love the schedule. Love the experience. We wouldn’t send her anywhere else!

We’ve been part of Goddard school since my son was a baby, and it’s been amazing to see how much he’s grown. The staff are loving and dedicated, and my son looks forward to going every day!

The entire staff is loving, caring and much more!!!! My daughter started at Goddard when she was 3 and learned so much!!! Thank you !!!

We have loved Goddard!! Both our kids have so much fun with their teachers and their friends at school. Our son loves Ms. Madhavi and Ms. Allison and I feel so good having him in Chipmunks knowing the feeling is mutual! Same for our daughter. She comes home happy and most days having had her hair redone into a new style by Ms. Mai or Ms. Claudia at some point in the day.

We love this school. Both of our little girls go here, and it is worth every penny! Our first daughter started with Miss Heather and Miss Tracey. We were worried about her speech and potty training(she was a Covid baby), and she blossomed in their class!

We’ve now been part of The Goddard School of Chantilly (East Gate) community for three years, and we continue to be impressed by the consistent level of care and attention our daughter receives.

As she has transitioned through two different classrooms over the years, the staff has been incredibly organized and supportive, making each change smooth and positive. Currently, she’s in Ms. LaWanda and Ms. Jenny’s class—and she’s absolutely thriving! We've seen remarkable growth in her this year, both academically and socially.

We are so grateful to Ms. LaWanda and Ms. Jenny for creating such a warm, nurturing, and encouraging environment. Thank you for making our daughter feel welcomed, supported, and loved every single day. We also want to extend our appreciation to the rest of the amazing staff. This truly is a wonderful school community!

We are having the most incredible experience at The Goddard School of Chantilly. Everyone makes us feel welcomed, supported, and ultimately at home. Ms Jenny and Ms LaWanda are incredible educators; their warmth, expertise, care, and attention to detail brings out the best in our child!

Our journey with The Goddard School at East Gate has been truly special.
We’re so thankful for the incredible care and support our son received.
A heartfelt shout-out to Ms. Sara, whose warmth, creativity, and dedication made a lasting impact.
She built a strong, trusting bond with our son and helped him grow with confidence.
We’re also deeply grateful to Ms. Anjali and Ms. Mai for their nurturing and encouraging approach.
The administrative team—Ms. Tina, Ms. Allison, and Ms. Kareen—
Always helpful, kind, and welcoming, they made every drop-off and pickup a breeze.

The Goddard School is wonderful. All of the teachers, especially Ms. Lawanda and Ms. Jenny have made a huge impact on my sons life. The joy and love that my son feels when he is at Goddard is heartwarming. 5 stars is not enough to show my true appreciation.

Our journey with The Goddard School at East Gate has been nothing short of incredible—for both our child and our family. From the warm and supportive Owners, Brad and Risa, to the always welcoming and helpful Admin team—Ms. Tina, Ms. Kareen, and Ms. Allison—every interaction has been a pleasure.

The teachers at Goddard are truly exceptional. While we are grateful to all of them, we’d like to give a special shout-out to Ms. Taylor, Ms. Anjali, Ms. LaWanda, Ms. Heather, Ms. Sam, and Ms. Amina. Their care, dedication, and guidance have played a huge role in our child’s growth and readiness for Kindergarten.

Though we’ll miss seeing these wonderful faces every day, we’re sure to bring our child at times when she misses them and wants to see them. Thank you for being such an important part of our child’s early years.

This school is amazing!
I am incredibly happy with this daycare and so grateful for the wonderful team who care for my child every day. A special shoutout to Ms. Sam, who has made such a positive impact on my child. She is kind, patient, and truly inspiring—my son Abraham talks about her all the time and looks forward to seeing her every day!
I also want to recognize Ms. Tina, Ms. Kareen, and Ms. Allison for being so helpful and supportive.Their dedication and warmth create such a welcoming and nurturing environment for the kids.
It gives me so much peace of mind to know my child is in such loving and capable hands. I couldn’t be happier with the school and the care my child receives here!

Mrs. Sam has been a true blessing in our daughter’s life. Her gentle yet structured approach has helped her blossom both academically and socially. Mrs. Sam’s calm presence, thoughtful lessons, and consistent encouragement have given our daughter the confidence she needs to head into kindergarten with excitement and readiness. We are endlessly grateful for the way she’s nurtured our daughter’s curiosity and independence. The Goddard School of Chantilly continues to exceed our expectations — the love and professionalism of the entire staff is unmatched.

My son has been going to Goddard South Riding location for over a year and he has been thriving ever since. Last year, he was under the excellent care of Ms. Jen and Ms. Keiry who became his biggest cheerleaders when he took his first steps or said ball for the first time and also, encouraged him to walk independently. This year, he has been very lucky to have the caring and fun loving Ms Kylah as his teacher. Ms. Kylah truly invests in the learning and development of each child. We see it in the daily updates where the kids are enjoying the classroom and outdoor activities as well as the valuable feedback she provides at pickup. I’ve also noticed that my son’s vocab has expanded with addition of new words that I haven’t used or read to him at home, which is a testament to how much he is actually learning and picking up at school from Ms Kylah and the assistant teachers that supervise...

Goddard has been a blessing to our family. From the welcoming front office staff to the owners and wonderful teachers, we feel at home. My son has grown so much here by the help of many teachers including Ms. Lawanda and Ms. Jenny. They have really poured into him and have gone above and beyond! My daughter has also been apart of the summer program for school aged kids and had a blast!

It’s always such a stressful decision deciding on a school for your little one. Once I stepped into Goddard 3 years ago, it just felt right. From day one my daughter has experienced a nurturing and enriching environment. It really takes a village and I couldn’t have done it without the wonderful staff at Goddard. I now have both my children at Goddard and I know they are well cared for, loved, and safe! Special thanks to Ms. Anjali, Ms. Sara, Ms. Salwia, and Ms. Sirisha for all you do!

We have had a child at Goddard for the better part of nine years and I cannot recommend them enough. The focus that the Goddard School puts on child development is outstanding. They provide a warm and nurturing learning environment. Ms. Claudia and Ms. Mai have been wonderful teachers. They do so many creative learning activities for the kids. My child also loves going to fitness with Ms. Jasmine. My child looks forward to coming here each day - and that alone speaks volumes.

As a parent, it is always difficult to trust anyone to care for your child. Goddard school in South Riding has my trust. Love them and love the teachers Especially Ms. LaWanda!

Thank you Goddard.

My husband and I love The Goddard School and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a fun, safe, and loving place to have your kids learn and grow. We love Ms. Taylor, Ms. Kylah, Ms. Salwia, and Ms. Sirisha. They have been a huge part of our kids learning and development.

We love The Goddard School of Chantilly at East Gate! First impressions are important and Jill, the admission director, immediately made us feel welcomed and a part of the Goddard family during our tour. She took her time answering our questions. We initially toured the Westfields location and loved the fact that the owner was also present greeting each child & family as they enter the school. The communication from our child’s teachers (Ms. Taylor and Ms. Skye) as well as the wonderful administrative team have exceeded expectations. We love the Family Hub app where we receive daily sheets, photos, school updates, newsletters and the structured curriculum! We must say that the teachers played the biggest role in ensuring a positive transition for our child’s first time going to school. They are attentive and really took the time to get to know her. We can’t recommend this school...

Very well ran school - staff, teachers, and management is very pleasant to work with and knowledgeable. My son loves coming here. He is getting a good routine and they're taking great care of him. Thank you!

I loooove this Goddard School. My sons attend this school and this one is the best one I've came across this far! The teachers are welcoming and amazing. The school puts thought into everything, always sending out reminders. They also follow emergency drills every month like they're supposed to. They have an indoor fitness room where the children can run around when the weather is bad. One of my favorite things is their outdoor classroom. Such a great feature! Every month they have a pajama day to celebrate a parents night out event. Did I mention that I love this Goddard School?

We have been at Goddard since my daughter was nine months old; she is almost three. We will also enroll my son when he turns nine months old. The main reason we love Goddard is their excellent communication. During our medical situation, we left Goddard for a few months to attend a Montessori school with slightly better pricing for all-day care. We encountered many issues with communication and returned to Goddard. Other things we like include:

1. The ability to walk our child to their classroom
2. Trust that our food preferences are followed
3. Variety in student activities throughout the day
4. Outdoor play structures have shade
5. Outdoor areas are ample, and the majority is grass
6. Small teacher-student ratios
7. Opportunity to bond with the teachers
8. Receive honest feedback from the teacher at the end of the day (and...

We have a sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by The Goddard School of Chantilly (East Gate). We are incredibly pleased with many aspects and would like to commend the school's efforts in providing an enriching environment for families. We are pleased with the emphasis placed on creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment and the school's commitment to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion is evident in every aspect of its campus life. We wish you all the very best and keep up the good work.

Great teachers, good food, clean classrooms, fun and creative activities, transparency, easy communication, constant pictures of my child during the day and great administrative staff.

Best decision I ever made was to enroll my child at this school! After a terrible experience in another school for 3 weeks, my 4 year old is happy and thriving more than ever; he LOVES his teachers and they love him too! Everyone is nice, caring, and kind! We love this center ♥️

Expert and well trained staff and teachers. Caring and loving attitude. Love the detailed plans for child development, thoughtfully planned activities contributing to the overall development of the child.

We have had 2 children in Goddard, from 2018 through today and we are so happy with the care they receive on a daily basis. We love our kids' teachers, the curriculum, real life skills that they're learning, and the high standards. Ms. LaWanda, Ms. Courtney, and Ms. Sara have been stand out teachers for our children, thought all of the teachers are amazing. We are so comforted knowing that our kids have the social and academic foundation to be successful in school and in life!
