The Goddard School of Chantilly (Westfields)

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.

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...

We cant say enough good things about Ms. Efi and Ms. Sofia. We can tell they genuinely care for our son by watching their interactions with him. He loves both Efi and Sofia and is always excited to see them at drop off in the mornings. When my husband and I have concerns or questions, they always make the time to speak with us and help put us at ease. Both of them were a crucial part in helping potty train our son. We can’t thank them enough for all they do for our family.

We have really loved Goddard. The teachers and admin are really caring and involved with the kids. Ms. Katrina loves the kids so much and really connects with my daughter. Ms. Shannon has been a great lead teacher and has gone far beyond the typical kindergarten class.

Our child loves going to school every day and it’s all thanks to the teachers. We are so grateful for the love and care Ms. Jackie and Ms. Ashley provides to our child. They are patient, attentive, and encouraging of our child and We look forward to the next few months we have with them! Thank you, ladies!

Absolutely love this place. A lot of schools out there but the culture here sets it apart.

The infant teachers are amazing (Ozge, LeAnna, Amanda, Ashley) and the management I have interacted with have always been very welcoming and attentive.

A place that values its students and staff which overall creates an amazing vibe and place to be. Would definitely recommend checking them out, you will be in GOOD hands 🤲

The Goddard school at this location has been wonderful as my kids have attended for the past few years. The teachers and front desk staff greet you daily and are always so kind and welcoming. Special thanks to Ms. Jee, Ms. Jayne, Ms. Shifat, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Anna, and Ms. May — my children have thrived in their care. The classrooms are always clean, the environment is nurturing, and the staff truly cares for each child. The learning structure supports both growth and fun! My mind is always at ease when I drop off my child. I highly recommend this school to any family!

I cannot say enough good things about The Goddard School - Chantilly. Our children have gone through all the classrooms and the teachers have always been professional and attentive. The teachers in the infant room (Ms. Amanda and Ms. LeAnna) and in the pre-k (Ms. Lisa and Ms. Anna) class continue to go ABOVE AND BEYOND by fostering relationships with our children and providing high-quality lessons each week. We feel confident that our children are safe at morning drop off and see how happy they are upon afternoon pickup!

The management team is also excellent and values communication with parents and the safety of all the children at the school. In in addition to the quality of care and education, what sets Goddard apart from other providers is their constant engagement with families including parents night out, Mother’s/Father’s Day celebrations, and other holiday...

We have had the best experience at the Goddard School Chantilly for both of our sons. Our older son graduated from the preschool program with Ms. Lisa, Ms. Anna, and Ms. Emily Grace and is currently thriving in Kindergarten. Our youngest son is in Ms. Sofia and Ms. Efi’s class and absolutely adores them! He is so excited to come to school each day and we are so thankful!

We enrolled our child in Goddard's accredited Kindergarten program, and couldn't be happier with the results, not only academically but developmentally as well. The teachers, Ms. Shannon and Ms. Katrina, embody what early-age educators should strive to be. Our child has become confident in her reading, writing, basic math, and has even learned to play chess well enough to give me an honest challenge. It's become evident during our time at Goddard that education, safety, and promoting a nurturing environment are prioritized by all educators and staff. We only wish we had enrolled sooner to have experienced all that Goddard had to offer. Thank you everyone at Goddard-Chantilly.

We’ve had a wonderful experience at Goddard!

In the Elephants, Ms. Shifat and Ms. Jayne provided a strong foundation for our child’s first school year, fostering confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

This year, in the Penguins with Ms. Dani and Ms. Pam, our child has continued to thrive socially and emotionally. The teachers not only expand the children’s knowledge but also encourage kindness and community. Their humor and support make a meaningful impact.

The supportive team—including Ms. Reagan, Ms. Emily-Grace, and Ms. Hyam—has been incredible. Our child comes home excited about what they’ve learned, the challenges they’ve faced, and how they’re problem-solving and growing.

I’ve consistently received updates on our child’s progress, and the teachers always take time at pickup to share successes or areas to work on at...

We’ve had a truly wonderful experience at this Pre-K, and I’m so thankful to have found a place where my son is genuinely cared for and supported.

Ms. Lisa brings incredible energy to the classroom. She keeps things well-organized and structured, while still making each day fun and engaging. Ms. Anna is incredibly kind and always takes time to listen to the children and answer their questions—she’s a thoughtful and steady presence alongside Ms. Lisa. Ms. Meseret has a calm, wise presence. She patiently observes and encourages the kids to work through challenges on their own, like a gentle and insightful guide (she reminds me of a wise grandma—just much younger!).

What truly sets this school apart is the experience and stability of the teaching staff. That was a major reason we chose this school—our previous school had frequent teacher turnover, which made...

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Ms. Jee, Ms. Hyam, Ms. Pam, Ms. Dani, Ms. Lisa, Ms. Anna and Ms. Meseret. From day one, they’ve shown incredible patience, kindness, and genuine care for the kids. Our child comes home happy, more confident, and excited to share what they’ve learned each day. We especially appreciate how they create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment that supports both learning and emotional development. Communication with parents is always clear and thoughtful. We’re so grateful to have such dedicated and compassionate teachers helping our child grow!

My kids have been attending this school for a few years and we couldn't be happier! The classrooms are always spotless and clean and the environment is so nurturing and friendly! Not a day has gone by where the front desk staff or teachers haven't greeted you. They truly care for your children and the learning structure supports growth - both my kids are thriving and happy. Any questions and concerns are immediately addressed. The staff is truly wonderful - Ms. Jee, Ms. Hyam, Ms. Emily- Grace, Ms. Reagan, Ms. Lisa and Ms. Anna - my children have been in their classrooms and done so well! I would keep my kids here forever if I could! I truly recommend this school to anyone I know. Your mind will be at ease and unlike other schools, there is hardly any teacher turnover so you know your child is in great, consistent care while learning and having fun!

This Pre-K school is truly amazing! Ms. Shannon and Ms. Katrina bring so much warmth, fun, and dedication to the classroom. Their caring nature and passion for teaching create a wonderful environment for children to learn and grow. We’re beyond grateful for the impact they’ve had on our children. Highly recommend!

I cannot speak highly enough about the care and dedication that Amanda, Ashley and Jackie bring every single day. From the moment we enrolled our boys, we felt an immediate sense of trust and comfort knowing they were in such capable and caring hands.

Amanda goes above and beyond to create a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment for the our boys. Amanda is incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, always taking the time to connect with each child and understand their individual needs. Whether it’s through creative activities, or simply offering a comforting hug. Amanda helps babies feel safe and supported.

Jackie and Ashley create a fun, structured, and nurturing environment where our son feels safe, happy, and excited to learn. Their creative activities, gentle guidance, and constant encouragement have helped our child grow in confidence, communication,...

We absolutely love this Pre-K! Ms. Shannon and Ms. Katrina are really great. They are fun, caring, and incredibly dedicated. Their enthusiasm has made a real difference in our child's growth and happiness. Highly recommend!

We’ve been through multiple schools and toured all the daycares in our area, and we have confidence to say that the Goddard School of Chantilly is definitely the hands-down, top-notch best school! We’ve been with them for many years, and this is the place we trust for our most precious little one to be. The school environment is very beautiful and clean, all the staff is very knowledge and friendly, the atmosphere is very nice and supportive, and most importantly, the teachers are really, really good. They are not only very qualified and experienced, but also love children. Since we started here, our kid never had that daycare-smell again, and really doesn’t get sick so often like in the other schools. He is so happy, learning and growing everyday and loves school. We know families that came from far away every day just to attend this school. We highly recommend our neighbors and...
