The Goddard School of Herndon

Our 2 year old son started going to Goddard few months back and he is loving it. He hugs his teachers every morning he goes to school, I think that's indicates how much he likes there. He loves playing with his classmates.

We love getting pictures via email everyday and detail report at end of the day. I think we made right choice by picking Goddard for our son,

Amazing experience with Goddard Herndon school. Its now being 1.5 years my son going to Goddard. It was my son's first school so were little bit nervous about choosing a school as i know he would be needing some help here n there, i m glad we choose Goddard . All teachers are all truly wonderful and are invested in doing the very best for your child. Also I really like the program of sending daily status report of your child you can see what he learnt , what he ate etc. Owner Miss Shifali she is amazing, if you have any concerns she always listens and resolve them without any follow-up. There are starting some really cool programs like FitKids Soccer so if you want you can sign up for your kid, looking forward for more programs like this. I highly recommend Goddard school.

Goddard School is a great school and has amazing staff that really cares about the development of a child. We have been there since the beginning of this school when it started and loved everyday we have sent our child. We thank everyone there for the amazing job they have done and all the care they gave our kid. Special thanks to Ms Shifali for her amazing leadership that makes Goddard an amazing school.

My son , who is almost 4 now has been attending The Goddard School at Herndon since 2016 when my son was just 18 Months old. The entire staff is very caring and I feel that they genuinely love my Son. To our family, that is the most important thing in a child care center/school. Ofcourse, the education aspect is also important and this center definitely excels at that. But, every day when my son runs over to hug a teacher when he walks in the door, I know he is spending the day in a place where he feels protected, comfortable and loved.
I must say that the center is well organized, with a good curriculum designed as per their ages. All the teachers at the school are skilled and the Owner Shifali and her entire staff is wonderful, and are always very responsive.

After switching our 3 year old to Goddard, we saw considerable improvement in his learning. Goddard definitely hires good teachers, which makes a big difference. We have experienced other schools hiring sub par teachers and it has direct impact on the kids. Our kids certainly enjoy going to Goddard. We highly recommend Goddard!!!

I have two kids attending Goddard - an infant and a toddler. We've been going to this school for over 2 years, and we are very happy. The school is very clean/safe, and the program is very enriching/structured. Since we've been here for awhile, I've met most of the teachers and administration. The teachers are very kind and patient. We took a month break and transferred my toddler to another school due to costs and location, but the other school could not compare to Goddard. We enrolled the toddler back with the infant, and they are both very happy. We highly recommend!

We had a great experience with Goddard! Our son spent his major developmental years as a toddler here. Teachers are great, insightful and helpful. They truly care about what they do and make it a point to show the progress of your child. I love how you get a daily report in your email about everything that was done throughout the day, with a photo highlight of something special your child did! Overall, highly recommended!

A warm and clean environment. The Herndon Goddard School has dedicated teachers and a great STEAM curriculum.

I love everything about The Goddard School (Herndon-Dulles). Education programs are amazing, that is what is most important. The teachers are well prepared and very nice. The school is run very efficiently with lots of extracurricular activities for the children as well. I love the school. Would recommend to anyone.

The Goddard School at Herndon has provided a very bright, positive and intellectually curious environment for my daughters. They are always happy and looking forward to school!

My daughter started attending The Goddard School - Herndon about 2.5 years ago. Her previous school I DETESTED from the very first day. My wife had read those stories about parents who have tragically driven off to work forgetting that their child was in the car and so avoiding that outcome with this daycare which is right around the corner from us was the primary driver initially - and so I swallowed that for a time.

Every time I dropped her off as an infant I was SEETHING. I didn't like the owner, the cleanliness levels of the school, the staff were only "marginally" trained, the classrooms very small, and one of the teachers really bothered me - the way that an overly-friendly person makes you feel like they might be a psychopath. Our daughter had suffered three "injuries" - two of which we brought to the attention of the owner as...

If you are looking for a great school for your young child I would highly recommend the Goddard School in Herndon. Here's just a handful of reasons why!!

The low ratios.
The love and care the teachers show to each child.
The interesting topics of learning that are chosen.
The multitude of art that is offered.
The personal connections that the staff makes with each family that walks through the halls.
The ease of receiving daily reports for my child, as well as important information regarding the school in email form. The constant communication helps me order my calendar accordingly so I don't miss anything.
The smile on my child's face at the end of a busy, but also fun, school day is a comfort to me that we have chosen the right place for our daughter.

I have sent 2 children through the Pre-K program and will plan to send...

The Goddard School has been and I'm sure will continue to be a wonderful place for my 2 yr old to spend his weekdays. He is happy, loves his teachers (and administrators) and is stimulated intellectually, socially and emotionally. Thank you Goddard School

We moved to this area last December and my son joined The Goddard School in January 2017. Before joining to his new toddler class, owner Ms. Shifali encouraged us to introduce our son to his teachers Miss.Tanya and Miss. Ashley in December itself which really helped him to know them better. In the beginning it was very hard for him to adjust into new environment as he was accustomed to his old day care routine but with proper attention and versatile activities and new little friends he started liking his new class. The staff is very friendly and caring. My son’s teacher used to send me his pictures doing some activities as he use to cry at the time of drop off. Teachers are really nice and well educated and they help each and every kids to explore things by themselves. They don’t force them to do activities in certain ways. I really liked the detail Daily Activity report from his...

Great School

I give Goddard School an A+. We attended 2 preschools prior to coming to Goddard, and I can see a day and night difference in my child. My daughter is learning something new each day and I can clearly see her progress. The communication I get from teachers on a daily basis is wonderful! At other schools I have attended it was hard to get a word out of the teachers. Here I speak to the teacher daily. It is a nice family environment where I know my daughter is safe and getting an outstanding early education. I know she will be ready for elementary school. If you are looking for a top notch preschool you have to check out Goddard School.

We just LOVE this school.We are very pleased with the progress that our kid has made ever since he started going to Goddard. We have noticed a tremendous improvement in his speaking skills and his ability to play and interact with other kids.The school has an extremely caring staff and special mention to Ms. Shilpa who is extremely warm and caring.
The school is also well managed in terms of cleanliness, security and also their curriculum is good as well.
I highly recommend Goddard school of Dulles.

It is a great pre-school in our area. Especially the management and teachers are great. Would recommend anyone who is looking for pre-school in Herndon area to visit here before deciding on other schools.

We started our daughter at the Goddard School when she was five months old, and we couldn't be happier. I knew it was a perfect fit when I saw the nursery name for the infant room was called little lambs! (one of my favorite things to call my daughter) Everyday she has a smile on her face when she enters the room. Ms. Brittani, Ms. Dini, and Ms. Tasha are patient, sensitive and attentive to all the infants and manage the nursery with deep care. My daughter seems to be learning quickly, and I am more than pleased with their program. Besides compassionate care, I was looking for safety and cleanliness, and these are provided daily at the Goddard School. The owner and office managers are always smiling and there to greet you at drop off and pick up. We love it here and are very happy with our daughters care. We highly recommend the Dulles Goddard School!
