The Goddard School of Herndon

We had a great experience with the Goddard School of Herndon. Our newborn started attending at 3-months and concluded at 9-months.

Goddard has been easy to work with and their teachers are extremely empathetic and go above and beyond to make sure our baby was cared for. Our baby has developed wonderfully, and we owe that to the amazing care provided by the Goddard team.

The Family Hub is a great way for the school to communicate with parents daily. We really appreciated the pictures and the log of her activities - just gives us confidence that our baby was having a good time while extremely well cared for.

We recommend Goddard School Herndon to any parent looking for a caring and trustworthy experience.

​We recently had to leave The Goddard School due to a move, but we cannot say enough good things about our time there. From the moment we stepped in until our very last day, our family felt incredibly welcome. The school itself is always exceptionally clean and well taken care of, and every single person we interacted with contributed to such a positive experience.
​A special thank you goes to my son's teachers, Ms. Lavanya and Ms. Allie. They truly care about the kids and consistently went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. The office personnel are equally wonderful. They always greet you warmly and ensure that any concern is promptly addressed. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a supportive and caring environment for their child.

Management and teachers are warm and welcoming. They try their best to arrange events for all festive occasions and kids love it!

I helped with several drop-offs and pick-ups for my friends' 6-month-old who recently started at Goddard. The team could not have been more welcoming and warm, and the school is impeccably clean.

Sending our child to Goddard Herndon was the best decision we made. We love the daily digital updates, photo sharing, and detailed reports on learning milestones, meals, and activities. The curriculum is highly engaging, interactive, and balances fun with structural learning perfectly. The communication from management is stellar, and they truly feel like partners in raising our child.we highly recommend this school for our community.

Our family has had an absolutely wonderful experience at The Goddard School, and we couldn't be more grateful for the incredible team that cares for our child each day. What stands out most is the genuine love, dedication, and enthusiasm every staff member brings to the school. It's clear that everyone is deeply invested in creating a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children can thrive.

A special thank you to Ms. Padmini in the front office, who is truly the heart of the school. She cares so deeply about every child and every family, and her warmth, kindness, and genuine concern are evident from the moment you walk through the door. She goes above and beyond to make families feel welcomed, supported, and valued. Together with Mrs. Abha and Ms. Sanam it is an absolute dream team. Always on top of things and there to step in and soothe any boo-boos, dry...

I have been sending my 4 year old daughter to the Goddard school of Herndon for the last two years now , I couldn’t be happier.
The teachers are incredibly patient, nurturing, and welcoming every single morning. I love that they send daily updates and pictures, which gives me a peace of mind. My child has blossomed socially and constantly surprises me with new things she has learned. The facility is always clean , secure and packed with engaging activities. I highly recommend The Goddard school of Herndon , to any parent looking for a safe and loving environment.

Ms Kylah and Ms Araceli are awesome teachers. Baby OG is always happy to see them and she loves going to daycare everyday. Her progress from Day 1 had been astounding. This is truly a top notch team in addition to Tina and Kareen and the whole team. 6 stars everytime. Thank you for all your hard work.

We are incredibly grateful for the love, care, and professionalism shown by the entire Goddard team. Both our son and daughter have had such a positive experience here. The staff is kind, considerate, patient, and truly attentive to each child’s needs. It always gave us peace of mind knowing our kids were in a safe, nurturing, and happy environment. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place for children to learn and grow!
A special shout out to Miss Abha and Mr Bhushan for always being on top of everything and making sure we were heard and supported!

We had an amazing experience with The Goddard School in Herndon. Both of our kids (4 years old and 2 years old) attended for almost a year, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better daycare and preschool environment.

The facility is excellent, very clean, well organized, and creates a safe and nurturing atmosphere for children to learn and grow. What really makes this school special is the people.

The owner, Abha, is absolutely wonderful. She always took the time to answer all of our questions and genuinely cared about ensuring families receive the best possible experience and support. Her dedication and involvement make a huge difference.

Director Sanam and Assistant Director Padmini also do an incredible job managing everything so smoothly. They are professional, caring, approachable, and always ready to help whenever needed.

I have heard good things about the Goddard School, so I stopped by to ask the owners a few questions while on a business trip. I met Mrs. Abha, who was very kind. I was only there for 15 minutes or so, but based on what I saw and heard it sounds like Abha genuinely cares about the school and that she and her husband run a tight ship!

Ms. Violetta and Ms. Sandra are such great lead teachers! Ms. Sandra has been teaching my daughter a second language.

"Our son has been at Goddard since he was two, and as he will finish preschool soon, we couldn't be happier. The staff provided consistent support and took great care of him throughout the years. We are excited and ready for kindergarten thanks to the foundation built here."

We are so glad that we trusted The Goddard School of Herndon with our little one. Ms. Abha and her team do an excellent job of maintaining a safe, nurturing, and fun learning environment. The teachers are kind, loving, and genuinely caring. They help the children learn so much and are incredibly patient with them. Ms. Srivani was nothing but amazing with our little one. We were so lucky to have her as our kid’s teacher.

I know choosing the right daycare can be a difficult decision for parents, but this one is truly wonderful. Thank you for honoring and respecting our trust.

My wife and I were nervous about having to send our child to day care, but Ms Brittany, Ms Ashmi, and Ms Angela have been so great and made the transition easy. They've made our daughter feel loved and cared for and became a part of our village! Thank you for all of your support.

Caring team, good communication, reliable

My toddler loves this school! The teachers are amazing, caring, and creative. The facility is clean and organized, Every day is full of fun learning and play. I’m so grateful for how much my child has learned and grown here!

I have my two sons in this school…one of the best I have been to…best place to get your kids started…I have a 4 years old he is so smart the teachers help him get through his speech

The staff are so friendly and helpful, and you really get the sense they genuinely care for the kids (and the parents) here

Our son attended The Goddard School of Herndon in the Pre-K class and summer camp, and our family loves the school. The school provides a safe and clean environment for learning, and it is very well managed. The staff and teachers are amazing. They are caring and meet the little ones where they are emotionally. We noticed significant improvement in our son's social skills. Ms. Elise did a excellent job preparing him for kindergarten, and made lessons really fun.

This school has provided amazing learning environments for my child.the teacher are caring, dedicated, and truly understand the needs of each student.we are so happy with this school my child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn everyday. The activities are creative and engaging .

We’ve had a wonderful experience with The Goddard School of Herndon (Dulles). The teachers are caring, the environment is safe and welcoming, and our child is learning and growing every day. We would highly recommend this school to any family looking for quality early childhood education.

My wife and I sent our two boys to Goddard and we absolutely love it. The staff is incredibly nurturing and supportive, and we've seen the impact the curriculum has had on their development.

I've seen a noticeable improvement in my child's language development, social skills, and problem-solving abilities since starting daycare. The daycare maintains a clean and organized environment, and they take extra precautions with safety and hygiene.
The daycare uses an app to share photos and updates, so I can see what my child is doing throughout the day. My child loves going to daycare and I can see the positive impact it has on my child’s development. The teachers are knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer my questions. We would highly recommend this daycare to other parents.

Strong learning environment as both of my children ages 1 and 2 are enrolled and have surpassed significant milestones. Would like to see more imagination time incorporated in the toddlers schedule to explore that development in their youth.

The graduation ceremony at this school was truly perfect and deeply moving. From the venue to the flow of the program, every detail was so thoughtfully planned.
Watching the children perform their songs and dances (something they had clearly worked so hard on) was incredibly touching. It was also clear how much effort and care the teachers had poured into preparing this special day.

I’m truly grateful to everyone who made my child’s very first graduation such a beautiful and meaningful experience.
From the administrative support to the classes and daily care, everything about this school has exceeded our expectations.

What impressed us the most was how meticulous and organized each and every member of the staff and all the teachers have been. Their dedication and attention to detail have made our time here truly special.
We can’t thank you...

The Goddard Pre-K graduation was indeed special, thoughtful and well planned. The venue was perfect for the amount of people. The program was adorable including the performances by the students.

The speeches were heartwarming, from everyone including the Owner, Ms.Abha, the center directors and teachers!

My entire family enjoyed !

We have had our son in this school, staring at 17 months, during COVID to now. This school is run with care. There has never been once that I have hesitated to communicate with the directors or teachers.

Ms. Elise has made such a difference to my sons academic and social skills! She really takes pride in learning about the students.

We won’t be leaving as our daughter will be starting soon :)
