The Goddard School of Stafford

★★★★Philip Christie

Excellent staff. We sent our son here from three months to four years old between 2021-2025. The only reason we left is because they don’t shuttle to our son’s elementary school (Margaret Brent), but they shuttle to many of the closer schools. Our son developed well under Goddard’s care, and we were always happy with how much their staff cared about the kids there. As just a little feedback, consider field trips for the younger kids, even before they go off to Kindergarten.

I am so grateful for The Goddard School in Stafford. From day one the teachers and staff have shown that they truly love and care for children. My kiddos are welcomed each day with warmth, patience, and genuine affection, which gives me so much peace as a parent. The environment is safe, nurturing, and thoughtfully structured, and I can see how much my child is growing. Knowing my child is loved, supported, and celebrated every day means everything to our family. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent looking for a place where their child will truly be cared for.

My son (5months) started 2 weeks ago at Goddard. I, like many parents, was nervous about sending my baby off to daycare. But I am so beyond pleased with the staff at Goddard. They have been amazing and far exceeded my expectations. I couldn't get my baby to take a bottle which is what made me so nervous, but by week two, he is drinking 5oz. I can't believe it! and it is all thanks to Ms. Brittney who is amazing. From the activities they do, to the communication, it has just been incredible so far. Would highly recommend to anyone considering.

Teachers that care and love your child as their own, clean and fun environment, adjust to the needs of your family, healthy food options, and incorporate a fun educational curriculum. I could not be happier with my experience! We've been going to Goddard for over a year and have loved our experience with each teacher. As a first-time mom, the transition to daycare can cause anxiety, but nothing brought me more comfort than the teachers who patiently learned all of my child's cues, provided updates, and helped us navigate every new skill. Additionally, when we were ready to graduate to the next room, the staff and teachers organized for our child to visit the next room regularly so that the transition was seamless. I'm constantly at awe on how the teachers manage children with unique needs and desires while also delivering curriculum. My toddler comes home each day ready to show off a new skill - whether it's jumping, a new word, counting, or even a little spanish. Thankful for Goddard and all they do!

We’ve been with Goddard for quite a while, and I’ve seen both challenges and improvements over the years. Right now, I’m really impressed with how things are going. The teachers have been wonderful with my kids — patient, caring, and genuinely invested in their growth. Both of my children come home happy and engaged, and I can see the progress in their confidence and learning. It’s clear that the staff are working hard to create a positive environment, and it shows in how my kids respond. I’m glad we’ve stayed with Goddard and I can honestly say it’s been a good experience for our family.
