The Goddard School - Verona

The school is ran with care and integrity.

We are very grateful for The Goddard School staff! Our experience as both parents, and our daughter's experience as a student, has been nothing short of wonderful. We're looking forward to another five years at Goddard with our second child!

Goddard Verona is great. Our kids have loved all of their teachers and we have confidence that everything is well run.

Top notch

This Daycare is very well run! The staff and teachers are all kind and very communcative with parents. They make a huge effort to create a rich and interactive learning experience for the kiddos. Our toddler is having a great time there and is making new friends all the time. We moved him here from Guidepost Montessori in Verona which was a disappointing experience and I'm happy to say that Goddard does not have any of the issues we faced at our previous daycare. I'd be surprised to find a better daycare in the area!

Wonderful. Goddard is our second home. Through many family challenges and difficult flu seasons, Goddard owners, directors and staff have been professional, reliable, and trustworthy. The school is well managed and such a positive, nurturing environment. The highlight of my day is dropping and picking up our daughter and hearing what she learned. We are very grateful to be able to attend Goddard and appreciate all the teachers do.

The Goddard School in Verona has been an amazing experience for our family! We spent ~7 years there with both of our kids, and it truly exceeded our expectations. My oldest still talks about how much she loved Mr. E's cooking! The admin/directors were always so helpful and approachable. The teachers we had were all great, and we felt like we received good communication from them. Our kids formed lasting friendships that made their transition to elementary school much easier. The 4K program was especially outstanding, thoroughly preparing them for Kindergarten. We also loved the regular social events throughout the year, which were always a fun way to connect with other families. Would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for daycare and/or a 4K program.

I had a gap year between my kids with Goddard and it made me realize how much I missed all the good things at Goddard. The communication with parents is top-tier, their reliability and professionalism are unmatched, the facility feels safe and clean, they are accommodating to unique needs, and my kids love being there. The older one asks to come back often. Also the community of parents built around the school is wonderful. If you can get a spot here, do it!

We’ve given our trust in Goddard for the last 7 years. We’re very happy with the open communication with their staff, the structure and the curriculum thats implemented in the kids daily’s. We would recommend Goddard!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Goddard School in Verona. Our two children spent the majority of their preschool years here. Communication from the directors and participation/involvement from the owners was outstanding. We truly appreciated that the school was well-organized on a daily basis and we always knew what to expect or could reach out with questions.

The teachers were simply amazing and cared deeply for each child. We appreciated that teachers (and all staff really) did not come and go frequently, which tells us that they enjoy their work. Our children learned so much in terms of social, behavioral, and “school” skills and they were well-prepared for kindergarten. We will miss them!

I 100% recommend Goddard Verona to anyone looking for day care or 4K enrollment.

The Goddard school in Verona is amazing. Both my kids have been to this school and they have the best staff and teachers. All kids feel welcomed in class and are well cared for and it starts with Ms Lauren who is the best.
The school has been very accommodating too, for eg allowing my 1st grader to stay in school during his summer holidays. Overall best school for early kids in the Madison area

A great place to send your kids for daycare services. Staff is extremely friendly and show a lot of care for the kids. They really make you feel like family. Can’t recommend enough.

With my oldest child, I went through two schools before Goddard. Goddard is miles ahead of anything else we've experience. Our friends that send their children to other schools are wide-eyed and jealous when we talk about daycares. Goddard is just a higher caliber.

We've been with them 3 years now. All our kids go to Goddard. They love it. We love it. It's simply a great place.

Goddard is a lovely school. Both my kids went to the Verona location and I have always been very comfortable leaving them there. The kids are happy during pick ups and drop offs. The school organizes multiple events during the year to celebrate all seasons and festivals. The staff is amazing, always smiling and welcoming.

Our almost 2year old went there . Ms.Sonia was amazing !!

Been bring my kids to Goddard Verona for almost 10 years and we've had an excellent experience the whole way. We would definitely recommend to any family.

The teachers in each room have been warm and caring, and the admin team have been responsive and helpful. We really trust them to provide a safe and engaging environment and highly recommend them.

Friendly staff and great learning environment for our child.

Great Staff!! Friendly & safe learning environment for our child.

Amazing place for our kids!

We’ve sent both of our kids through The Goddard School in Verona, starting in the infant room and continuing all the way through 4K—and we couldn’t be happier. The staff has always made us feel like our children were safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. Our kids have thrived socially, cognitively, and developmentally, and both have been more than ready for kindergarten. We’ve recommended Goddard to several other families, and continue to be so grateful for the amazing start our kids received here.

We are so incredibly happy we chose Goddard for our son. The director Lauren and her assistant Kayla ensured a smooth transition and answered any and all questions we had. His teachers Ms Laura and Ms Maria have made him feel right at home. We love it here :)

Love the teachers and the community of Goddard! Couldn't have been happier with our experience!

We absolutely love it here! The staff is incredible!! Everyone is very nice and our son is doing so well. We highly recommend the Goddard to anyone looking for childcare!

We love the Goddard school of Verona and would recommend it to anyone we know that is looking for a safe and encouraging environment for their kids to learn and grow in. I love that they spend time each day talking about how to handle social and emotional situations because that is such a big thing for kids this age. Our son has been so happy there (to the extent that sometimes he asks us to pick him up late so he can play with his friends more and then hang out with the nice ladies in the office). He has also learned so much and is very proud of all of his accomplishments at school. Our whole family will miss everyone when he moves to kindergarten.

We transitioned from a really negative previous daycare experience and since coming to Goddard have found so much peace and belonging. We came in anxious and hesitant and school leaders and teachers have put us so at ease and made us realize what a positive, healthy, supportive environment school can be for our 18 month old. We’re welcomed by name every time we come in the building and made to feel seen and valued as parents. There are events and opportunities to engage with other families and build a community, because let’s be honest, we all need deeper support systems. Our daughter’s teachers are SO warm, capable, thoughtful, and communicative which was my biggest concern coming in. Daily reports are thorough and keep us looped in on the learning and curriculum that’s happening. Photos and notes (attached some samples in this review) give us so much info about how she’s doing each...
