The Goddard School of Bentonville

★★★★★Gabrielle Feil

The Goddard School in Bentonville is truly exceptional. As a family that has attended multiple Goddard Schools in different states, we intentionally seek out Goddard for their curriculum and structure. This Bentonville location is the best we’ve experienced! The facility is brand new, immaculate, and beautifully maintained. It’s clean, modern, and clearly run at a very high standard. The owners, Ms. Leila and Travis, are fantastic and highly involved, you see them on site regularly, which speaks volumes. Cecilia, the Director of Operations, is wonderful and keeps everything running seamlessly. The teachers genuinely care. They are warm, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. Classrooms are engaging and thoughtfully run. For the younger children, morning centers are consistently set up, making drop-off smoother and giving kids something exciting to walk into right away. What makes this school especially memorable is the community engagement and enrichment. From soccer and ballet to food trucks, book trucks, and partnerships with local vendors, they’ve truly thought of everything. It feels intentional, forward-thinking, and deeply rooted in the community. We would absolutely still be there if we hadn’t moved out of state. It was a wonderful school, and we truly enjoyed our time there.

Our family has been so impressed with Goddard! The teachers and staff have been exceptional, and they all truly know our child. The daily activities our daughter does are so hands on and they change on a daily basis. We feel lucky to have our daughter at such a nurturing school!

My son has been thriving since he arrived at Goddard School of Bentonville. He has grown academically, socially, and emotionally. This was the only place I truly wanted my son to go to after touring multiple school/daycares in the surrounding area. We are so thankful to have gotten into this little community that the owners have built. Shout out to Leila, Travis, Ceci, Kayla, and some of our favorite teachers Addison, Chloe, Parrish, Nikki, Megan, and Ashley for all taking care of my little one and allowing him to learn in a safe and nurturing environment.

We would give 10 stars if we could! We are absolutely thrilled with The Goddard School and truly feel like we've finally found our "home" after trying other schools. The difference here is palpable, and our son is thriving. The staff is exceptional. The classrooms are well-staffed with friendly, highly capable, super clean and genuinely caring teachers who consistently take the time to give us thoughtful, detailed updates on our son's day. It's clear they love what they do. The curriculum and activities are truly incredible. Our two-year-old is constantly exposed to cool, engaging activities—from painting and stickers to "STEM" concepts and yoga. He is learning and retaining more things than we ever anticipated at this young age! And, the Directors and Owners are consistently involved and present. They make an effort to greet and talk to families whenever possible, even during the busy, chaotic rush of drop-off and pick-up in the lobby. Their leadership makes all the difference. This is hands-down the best school for our son to grow and learn.
