The Goddard School of Chantilly (Westfields)

We have been part of the Goddard family for three years now, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care, education, and support our children have received. This review is long overdue because words hardly capture the impact this school has had on our family.

From day one, the management team has demonstrated genuine empathy and care that goes far beyond what you'd expect from a childcare facility. They know our children by name, remember details about our family, and consistently show they're invested in our children's individual growth and happiness. Their attention to detail is remarkable—whether it's accommodating medical needs,365/ dietary needs, remembering a child's specific interests, or proactively communicating about developmental milestones.

The teachers are nothing short of extraordinary. They bring warmth, patience, and...

My daughter has been enrolled at The Goddard School in Chantilly for over two years now, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience! Family and friends often comment on how academically advanced she is—and I truly credit her teachers and the incredible learning environment at Goddard for that.

Beyond academics, the care and love she receives every day mean the world to us. She absolutely adores her teachers—special shoutout to Ms. Shania and Ms. Myra! There have been mornings when she wasn’t feeling her best at drop-off, but they always worked their magic to make her smile and feel comfortable. Knowing she’s in such nurturing hands gives me so much peace of mind.

I also want to express my sincere appreciation to Ms. Amanda, Ms. LeAnna, Ms. Asia, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Moly, Ms. Regan, Ms. Emily, and Ms. Sofia. Each of you—and so...

The teachers at the Goddard school strive to produce the best educational experience for their students. They receive more than ample training, and implement the techniques acquired to produce the best possible experience for their students. The care taken is shown in every classroom at every minute of every day. Our child comes home happy, enjoys the learning curriculum and tells us about her experiences every day. The Goddard school is more than a place to learn. It’s a tight knit family with opportunities for young minds to grow as a team and as individuals. Cheers. -Mr. Ferguson

My kid loves Goddard! It's a great start for kids not just with learning but also with developing social skills!

The teachers at Goddard School Chantilly Westfield reminded of me of one thing I heard from a former preschools teacher, “we don’t do it for the money.” This is EXACTLY how I feel about the teachers/staff here. (Even though I recognize they should make more).

The owners first of all gave us a wonderful tour assuring me from her decades of education background that my baby will likely be adapting faster than I thought when I was considering daycare as my desperate childcare option because the only full-time caregiver of my baby (grandma) can’t do it for longer. She answered so many of my silly, mundane, anxious-mama questions with so much patience. By that time I have toured 3 daycare facilities and when I walked out the door, I knew this is the one. Here are the few things I noticed even before I started my baby there:

1. Low turn over rate. This is extremely...

Phenomenal daycare with an amazing staff from the teachers, to the front staff management, to the owners. Three years and two kids later, from the baby room to pre-k, your kids will flourish with the perfect mix of love, care, education, and play! A special shout out to the second moms who have adored and mentored our boys: Amanda, LeAnna, Jackie, Ashley, Nigar, Destiny, Myra, Shania, Sofia, Efi, Shifat, Jayne, Pam, Regan, and Dani. We love the place so much we are sending our oldest son to private kindergarten there!!

I'm incredibly impressed with the quality of care and education my daughter has received at The Goddard School. Her teachers, Miss Jackie and Miss Ashley, consistently go the extra mile—providing thoughtful updates and photos throughout the day, creating fun hairstyles, and engaging her with stimulating lessons and activities. Their dedication and warmth truly make a difference.

The Goddard school is well-run and the administrative staff (Ms. Jill, Stephanie, Michelle) is great at communicating with parents. Many of the teachers have been there a long time which speaks to the positive environment. My daughter enjoys going there and thrives in Ms. Efi and Ms. Sofia's Ponies class. They are the most fun, creative, and caring teachers!

We love this Goddard school! We have been here for a few years and are so grateful to have found a place that checks all the boxes. I haven't met a teacher that hasn't gone above and beyond showing care and love for the kids. We truly appreciate that staff here supports our family outside of school with their support and feedback. My mind is at ease knowing my children are in the best of hands. Special thanks to Ms. Lisa, Ms. Ana, Ms. Jee, Ms. Nigar, and Ms. Destiny!

When your child is excited about going to school and talks about how much he loves his teachers, you know that this is the right place for them. The teachers are wonderful with very low turnovers. Ms. Lisa, Ms.Anna, Ms.Emily Grace, Ms. Hyam, Ms. Reagan, Ms Meseret are all so warm, caring, and thoughtful. The classrooms are always well organized and you can see how happy the kids are when you do drop off and pick up. We are so glad that we made the right decision for sending our child to this school.

We absolutely love Goddard from the management to all of the teachers and assistants. From the moment you walk in, until pick up, you know your child is in caring, and loving hands. Ms. Lisa and Ms. Anna make learning fun and our daughter looks forward going to school. She has learned to play chess and is actually teaching me at home. Our other daughter is with Ms Jackie and Ms. Ashley and they also have been so incredibly wonderful with her. The attention to detail in a room full of toddlers is impressive! Everyone is so warm and you can tell that the teachers enjoy working there which translates to happy kids.

Both of our children attend the Goddard School at Chantilly and have a wonderful time. I know they will always have a great day when I drop them off. We are so grateful for the teachers (Ms. Jee, Ms. Hyam, Ms. Emily-Grace, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Leanna) and the front office staffs (Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Jill, Ms. Michelle), they are all amazing!

My son goes to the infant room and all the teachers (Mrs. LeAnna, Ms. Asia, Mrs. Ozge and Ms. Amanda) are wonderful! They are so kind and caring. The room is organized, clean and the educational activities are great. We are so thankful for them!

Moving and trying to find a new daycare for our son was very stressful for us as parents but we were immediately put at ease when we visited The Goddard School. All the teacher’s are amazing and they put the kids first. Our son loves Ms. Efi and Sofia and he is thriving with them as his teachers. Can’t recommend Goddard enough!

Our son is in the Penguins class this year and wanted me to write that he loves Ms. Dani and Ms. Pam. He is excited to go to school every day in their class. We also love all of the assistant teachers who help make his day great, including Ms. Regan, Ms. Emily Grace, Ms. Meseret and Ms. Jackeline .

We’ve been with The Goddard School for over 2.5 years now, and I can honestly say it’s been an incredible experience from day one. Jill has been absolutely amazing, so supportive and kind. You can tell how much she genuinely cares, and that warmth is felt throughout the school.

My son’s first primary teacher, Ms. Asia, formed such a special bond with us. She cares deeply for every child and makes an effort to connect with parents too, even after our son moved on to a new class. She’s been such a reassuring presence, especially as a first-time mom.

Now, my son is in the Ponies class with Ms. Efi and Ms. Sofia, and they’ve been absolute angels. They are so patient, kind, and communicative. Every day at pick-up, they share updates and little highlights from his day, which means so much. They’ve also given helpful parenting tips that we’ve been able to use at...

Ms. Shannon and Ms. Katrina have been amazing! Our daughter has learned so much this year and is more than ready for elementary school thanks to their care and support. They create a fun, nurturing environment where kids grow academically and emotionally. We’re so grateful for everything they’ve done!

We are so appreciate of the Goddard School and Ms. Ozge. The entire team is wonderful and we feel so comfortable with each and every one of them!

The Goddard School is truly a special place. As new parents, the world of daycare was unfamiliar and a little overwhelming. We knew it was important to find an environment that felt welcoming—where the teachers genuinely enjoyed what they do. From the moment we toured the school with Miss Jill (who is amazing!), we knew we had found the right place for our daughter.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have Ms. Amanda, Ms. Asia, Ms. Ozge, and Ms. LeAnna caring for our daughter each day. We are always at ease dropping her off because we know she is in such capable and loving hands!

The classroom is always bright and cheerful, with the children’s artwork proudly displayed—something we truly enjoy seeing. It's clear the teachers have taken the time to get to know our daughter and understand her unique personality and needs. Whenever we have a question or want to...

The Goddard is an amazing school, my daughter has been enrolled since she was 6mo and now she’s nearly 3 and we have noticed nothing but amazing things about her development. The Goddard provides incredible curriculums for the kids on top of all the teachers and staff providing a loving and nurturing environment. It’s incredible to see how much each child learns and how connected they are with their teachers! My daughter absolutely loves Ms. Yomaira and Ms. Shania, as well as her past teachers like Ms. LeAnna, Ms. Asia, Ms. Amanda, Ms. Jackie and Ms. Ashley. Everyday she wakes up so excited and ready to go to school and spend time with her friends and teachers learning and having fun. I couldn’t be happier with everything at the Goddard and look forward to keeping my babygirl there until she is of school age.

We cannot say enough good things about this school and the teachers/staff that work there! Our two older children attended here from their infancy all the way thru the kindergarten program and we now have our third child in the infant program there. Our baby girl’s teachers-Amanda, Leanna, Asia and Ozge-are the absolute best and truly the kindest! Our baby is constantly learning new things and doing the cutest art projects with her teachers. We are so fortunate that she has them in her life and are so grateful for what they do everyday!

I always leave after dropping off my daughter with a smile on my face. Your child’s drop-off starts with a high five from Mr. Brad, a warm smile from Ms. Risa (the owners), and/or greetings from the front office management - Ms. Michelle, Ms.Jill, and Ms. Stephanie. Then it continues with bright smiles and greetings in the hallway from teachers like Ms. Regan and Ms. Emily-Grace. Finally the teachers in the classroom warmly greet your child and help them get ready for their day. You even feel comforted on those difficult drop-off days that your child is cared for by teachers who know what they’re doing and truly care about your child!

I also highly recommend the Kindergarten program, whether you’re just looking for a head start for a child who will do Kindergarten again the next year in school, or you’re anticipating going straight into 1st grade. We’ve had 2 children go...

We couldn’t be happier being part of the Goddard Chantilly family over the past three years!

From the minute you walk in, joy just radiates throughout and you can instantly tell that it is such a special place and different from other schools. The proof is in all the children’s smiling faces as they run inside each morning. Each classroom is very inviting, clean, and well designed to spark creativity.

We have had the absolute pleasure of having Ms. Leanna, Ms. Amanda, Ms. Asia, Ms. Ozge, Ms. Jackie, Ms. Efi and Ms. Sofia as teachers for our two children and have been beyond impressed with each of them and the individual and genuine care they have provided to support our children’s development. It’s also so nice to see the amazing rapport that all the teachers have built amongst each other. You can very much tell they love what they do!

I am completely appreciated to Noah's and Chloe's teachers (Ms. Efi, Ms. Sofia, Ms. Lisa and Ms. Anna) They have shown great dedication in their education and the kids love them so much. I'm so grateful to the office ladies (Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Jill and Ms. Michelle) for always being so welcoming from the start. It's about to be a year since the kids have started at Goddard and I'm incredibly happy with how safe and loved my kids have felt since being there.

I would also like to thank Ms. Jee and Ms. Emily Grace for being part of Noah's and Chloe's learning journey and for making them feel welcomed when they first started as Chloe was in the giraffe's classroom and Ms. Emily Grace was in the Hippos classroom at the time.

We feel so lucky to have Ms. Lisa and Ms. Anna as our son’s teachers. They’re kind, attentive, and always go above and beyond. Our son loves going to Goddard and has learned so much—thanks to their care and dedication. We truly appreciate all they do!!!

We currently have two children at Goddard, and we have loved our experiences in each of their classrooms. The Bunnies teachers, Ms. Asia, Ms. Amanda, Ms. LeAnna, and Ms. Ozge, are so attentive and give daily updates and helpful advice as your baby reaches new milestones. The Giraffes teachers and helpers, Ms. Jee, Ms. Hyam, and Ms. Emily-Grace, are also very good about keeping in touch with parents and helping student develop new skills within the classroom setting and with their peers.

This is the second year that my daughter is with Goddard school, I am still feeling so glad that I decided to transfer her to here immediately when the spot opened up. Besides being professional and super clean, I think what I valued the most is the caring and love I see her teachers have been giving to her. Although she might be too little to understand many, I am pretty sure it will help shape her in many positive ways.
All the caregivers that my daughter has been experienced are so sweet and truly enjoying time with the kids. Teachers in the bunnies class, you are my lifesaver last year~ Ms Ashley and Ms Jakie, you are always so patient and warm to my daughter, telling me all little progress and milestones that she has been achieved. We feel really lucky that we could be part of the community. And we are looking forward to see my daughter growing up with Goddard school.

We’ve had the most wonderful experience with The Goddard School of Chantilly over the past four years! From the very first classroom to the last, every teacher has been kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the children’s growth and happiness. My child absolutely thrived here—learning, laughing, and building lasting friendships every step of the way.

All the teachers - Ms. Jackie, Ms. Zuly, Ms. Cassie, Ms. Regan, Ms.Jee, Ms. Hyam, Ms. Shifat, Ms. Jayne, Ms. Shannon, Ms. Katrina, Ms. Emily Grace and the front desk staff Ms. Jill, Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Michelle have been amazing.
A special shoutout to the amazing kindergarten program and the incredible teachers, Ms. Shannon and Ms. Katrina. Their dedication, warmth, and creativity made the final year truly memorable and helped our child feel more than ready for the next chapter.

The graduation...
