We had an amazing experience! The staff was so great and our son had a great time. He learned so much while also having so much fun! We had an awful experience at another local preschool, and Goddard exceeded our expectations. This school truly helped our son love school again!

We've had both of our kids (4 yr old, 2 yr old) at Goddard School in Mars since September and the experience has genuinely exceeded every expectation we had going in. From day one, the facility stood out. It's consistently clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully organized in a way that tells you the staff actually takes pride in the environment they've created. But what really sets Goddard apart is the people. The teachers in both classrooms are passionate, warm, and clearly invested in each child as an individual. You can feel it the moment you walk in. The curriculum has also been a pleasant surprise in terms of its depth and structure. We've watched both of our kids grow and hit milestones faster than we expected, and we genuinely attribute a big part of that to what they're learning and experiencing at Goddard every day. It's not just daycare, it's a place where kids are actually being challenged and nurtured at the same time. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Goddard School in Mars. If you're looking for a program where your child will thrive, this is it.

We love the Goddard school of Mars! The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing! They have great communication and are super accommodating. My daughter truly loves going to school and can’t wait to continue for Kindergarten in September.

I am SO happy I was able to get my child enrolled here. As a first time mom, I was extremely worried about sending my kid to daycare, but from day 1, this school eased my nerves. I will never forget, on my child’s first day, as I was leaving, Meg (in the front office) just very casually told me I could call to check in. That small gesture just made me feel a sense of community and comfort. Additionally, I want to call out how amazing the teachers are. They are so kind, and take really good care of the babies/kids. I love how they try to tailor the daily experience based on your child’s personality. I also really appreciate that they promote social interactions. As I’ve arrived for drop off or pick up, I’ll see babies doing tummy time facing each other, or even just laying next to each babbling. And I’ve also taken note that the teachers watch them like hawks. Another thing worth mentioning, they are very good at reading babies cues and helping developing a schedule. One of my biggest concerns was with sleeping, since my baby was more of a contact napper. From day 1, my child napped with no issues. Anyway, I could go on and on about how great this place is. Very fortunate to have found them.

We couldn't be happier with the care our kids receive at Goddard of Mars! They offer a vibrant curriculum and a community for the children to learn to be kind and thoughtful to one another. The facility is clean and well thought out. The teachers are kind, inventive and engaging.You can tell the team takes pride and ownership in how they show up each day. We had been at another school that touted a similar mission but the execution left a lot to be desired. We've been truly blown away by how Goddard has brought their vision to life.
