The environment is great and all of the teachers and staff are amazing! You can tell that the employees love working here and it isn’t just a job for them, they really care and partner with the parents. Our kids look forward to going every week day and always have the best stories about how their day went when we pick them up. It helps us know that since we can’t be with them during the work day that they are in the best place possible with people who love and care about them. Being that we have no family in the area we have really relied on the school to be our village and they have been fantastic.

Wonderful school for any child. Responsive teachers and admin staff. My wife and I love taking our son here.

My daughter went to this day care and she loved it!

I am beyond excited to have my baby girl at the Goddard school! Her caretakers are so caring and loving. She loves her caregivers and friends. The staff is so helpful and welcoming. I love the security and safety precautions. Scholarships make it extremely affordable for me. I highly recommend this school.

Our son has been a student at The Goddard School for a little over a year. I have been very pleased with the compassionate and personalized attention he has received. He is a bright and sensitive child, who needs to be challenged and stimulated, but also patience and care. This he has received in the very capable hands of the teachers at this school. I have especially been impressed with Mr. Ryan, Ms. Kim, and Ms. Katie. He is only 4.5, but is writing his name and some other familiar words, starting to sight read and spell words by sounding them out, and is doing simple arithmetic (and even basic solve for X problems). He will have no problem transitioning to kindergarten in the Fall. Thank you for caring for my son, seeing him as the unique and special individual he is, feeding his hunger for knowledge, and preparing him for what lies ahead! We will most certainly be enrolling his sister in the future.In addition to our sons specific experiences at the school, we have also had a very positive experience with the logistics of having our child enrolled at the school. Communication from every level of administration at Goddard is excellent. We receive a daily detailed report, communication regarding snacks they will have each day, a monthly newsletter, prompt information about any events or issues at the school, and also easy communication and administration regarding tuition payments. The school also has excellent school day enrichment (karate every other week, guest speakers, holiday themed events) as well as extracurricular events/activities (Family events and even a Parents Night Out every other month)! We have been very happy with our choice of The Goddard School as our childs first educational experience.

There isnt enough I can say to to express how much we love the Goddard School. When our son was 2 months old we started looking for child care. We looked at four different places and after touring the Goddard School we knew this was the place for us. Our son started when he was three months old and still attends today - he is six. We loved how each child was transitioned into the next class room - they start visiting the class so they have a chance to become familiar with it before they are there all day. This made it not only easy for us but for our child to get used to the new setting and the new staff in each room.The staff at Goddard is simply amazing! My son loves going there and has to make his rounds to say hello to everyone. They are all are so caring and very good with the kids. Not only do they take care of them, they have lesson plans to ensure the children are learning as well. My son was and still is so excited to share with us what he learned each day.If you are looking for a place for your child to learn and grow and be taken care of by a well trained staff, then The Goddard School is definitely the right place for you and your family.

This is my second grandson to attend Goddard Goodyear and I continue to be delighted by the quality, professionalism and nurturing that is evident from the minute I walk though the front door. Colorful student art and professional murals fill the walls and each classrooms window display conveys an impressive contribution to a seasonal or monthly theme. Speaking of windows, I always spend a few minutes watching the little ones playing and learning before I enter the classroom-- a gratifying and heartwarming experience. On Grandparents Day-- just one of the many special events that Ive attended, I saw my almost-3 grandson in action as he and classmates went through their alphabet, counting, days of the week, classroom assignments and so much more. Wow! I wish all children could attend this phenomenal school!

We LOVE, LOVE, LLLOOOVVVEEE this school! The teachers and staff are well educated and super friendly. Our daughter cant wait to get to school every morning! We had been struggling with our daughter to potty train and they gave us tips to use at home, worked with her at school, and helped us get her into big girl undies in no time!!! Prices are the best in the West Valley and the quality of care is second to none!

Both of our boys went to Goddard for 3 years and I cant say enough amazing things about the school and its staff. The boys have grown immensely with Goddard, the teachers are dedicated and loving and always willing to do whatever it takes to help make the childs start in life the best one possible. The on site owner is incredible and always willing to help wherever needed.When our boys left the school to attend Kindergarten, they both had tearful Goodbyes and are looking forward to come back in the summer for their great summer program.The daily activities are wonderful and always age appropriate and the kids love all the different events they get to participate in throughout the year. I can only recommend the Goddard school in Goodyear to anyone!!!

Both of my children attend The Goddard School, and I have had nothing but wonderful experiences. My daughter has attended for over 2 years as is now in Pre-K getting ready for kindergarten. My son is in the toddler program and has so much fun doing art, singing, dancing, and learning all the while. One of his teachers is even teaching him Spanish! The owners and director are wonderful and handle all questions very promptly. The facility is clean, and every teacher and assistant teacher always has a smile on their face. Finally, there is not a high turnaround with teachers, which tells me they are happy as well. In fact, my sons toddler teacher was my daughters toddler teacher almost 2 years ago! Friendly and helpful staff, clean and colorful facility, and my kids leave smiling every time. What more could a parent ask for?

“Even though our son is in the infant room, every day he works on language, art, socialization skills, as well as having fun learning new ways to play.I really appreciate the daily communication about his activities, feeding and napping. We have lots of fun reading it together as a family!”

I am just blown away at the staff and the curriculum. Everyone at the school seems to know my daughters name. They work so closely with parents on everything from potty training to behavior modification. The teachers and staff feel like an extension of your as a parent - I have always felt completely at ease knowing my daughter is in such a safe and nurturing environment. I was especially impressed with the building security and procedures - 2 types of verification (code and hand scan) to get into the building and strict sign-in/sign-out procedures. In addition to a high standard for basic curriculum, The Goddard School goes above and beyond to organize other special ways for our kids to learn about the world around them. The Summer Camp Program is always amazing with a new theme each summer and special visitors which enhance the kids learning experiences such as policemen, firemen, the zoo and a puppet theater. They work closely with community partners to offer so many different opportunities for new experiences - this year my daughter attended a karate class every other week at the karate school next to the school and a helicopter even landed in their parking lot which was quite an exciting day for the kids learning about the pilot. I wish The Goddard School had elementary schools - I would keep my daughter in their schools as long as I could because I know she is getting a top notch education from caring and engaged teachers!

Goddard School Goodyear played such an important role in the development of my daughter. She is striving so much now in Kinder and I have all the administrative and teacher staff to thank for that. There is no better early development school then Goddard.

I rarely write reviews; however,I must share my experience and inform all parents that The Goddard School is the absolute best child development center I have ever been a part of. I am a proud parent of two Goddard children and I can say without a doubt that Goddard provided the essential building blocks for learning and social development. My son A, abbreviated to protect the innocent, has been at Goddard since year one. Watching him grow into such a smart kid is a real testament to the staff and curriculum. He consistently surprises me with what he learns at school. Today he came home and started reading sight words. Last week he counted to 30!! I feel confident that when he starts Kindergarten he will have the foundation needed to be successful. There is nothing better than knowing when you leave your child for the day they are stimulated, loved and encouraged to be their best. He has also developed real friendships at the Goddard school. He is a naturally shy child but has thrived with the socialism at his school.My first son T, graduated from Goddard Kindergarten program two years ago. I must brag here that when he graduated he was reading 60 words a minute. He also has strong math skills and scores high on all standard testing. I attribute this to the educational foundation he received at Goddard. He still looks forward to attending summer camp at Goddard.Last but not least, The Staff. It is nice to see a smiling, friendly faces when I enter the school. Throughout my years at Goddard I have developed friendships with the owner, and staff. The teachers are loving, compassionate, and truly care about the childrens well being. Thank you Goddard for being part of our Family.

I dont even know where to start I have so much to rave about The Goddard School.Our son (3) and daughter (1) have been students at Goddard since the infants classroom. As our son has moved up from one class to the next we are continually amazed that the quality of teachers and content remains top notch across all of the classrooms. We went from considering ourselves lucky that hes had so many excellent teachers to realizing it isnt luck - its the quality the Goddard School provides. Beyond the classroom - the support and administrative staff interact with our kids regularly.When you send your kids off to someone else for childcare - especially that first time with your baby - it can be so hard to trust and feel safe in your decision. When it was time for our daughter to start at Goddard - I cant tell you how much more comfortable we were because we had already experienced the care, education and love she would receive at this school. Just as important - we trust the teachers and staff when we need help at home with things like potty training tips, addressing bad behavior, etc.If you want a safe and caring environment for your kids that educates them through play, reading and language arts - Goddard is the best choice in the Goodyear/Avondale/Litchfield Park area.

I cannot say enough good things about The Goddard School located in Goodyear, AZ. Our son attended Pre-K there last year and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He couldnt wait to go to school each morning. And I cant believe all of the things that he learned! His teachers were truly amazing and the staff is wonderful. I love that each day an overview is sent home that states what he learned that day, and it even shows how much of his lunch was eaten and if he took a nap. And the school is super duper clean and tidy, something that was very important to me in choosing a preschool. We were so impressed, that we enrolled our son into Goddards Kindergarten class....and he LOVES it! I love the small class size and the attention that he receives on a daily basis. The nurturing environment is second to none. We love the Goddard School!

I could write for hours about all the things we love about The Goddard School in Goodyear! Our daughter started there when she was only 2 months old. We toured several places in the Valley and the feeling we had when walking into Goddard was unlike any other. I immediately knew that this was the right choice for us, and I felt confident that my baby would be in good hands. Each and every day since then, we are thankful that we chose Goddard. When our daughter was 3, we moved about 20 minutes away and there is a Goddard School IN our new neighborhood, but we continue to make the 20 minute drive twice a day to the one in Goodyear. The drive is worth EVERY MINUTE. The tuition we pay each month is worth EVERY PENNY. I sometimes tell people I would pay twice what were paying to keep her there. The life experiences, education and care that she has received over the years is priceless. Many adults I know refer to their childs daytime care as daycare but we have always said school because she learns everyday! From sign language and yoga as an infant, to Chess and Spanish as a Pre-K student - the quality of education is extraordinary. More importantly, she has a strong foundation of diversity, inclusion, kindness and sharing. Her ability to communicate with both her classmates and her teachers is impressive. It warms my heart to see the care for each other among the children in the classroom. They comfort each other when they are sad, celebrate together when they are happy, and encourage each other to make good choices. As our daughter graduates this year and will move on to another school for Kindergarten, I am sad for this part of her Goddard journey to be ending but excited for her future. I feel confident that she will excel in school and life and am thankful to the teachers and staff at Goddard for giving her such a strong foundation and fostering her love of learning. While we wish she could stay at Goddard forever, we are excited that our younger daughter will be starting in the infant room this year, and we get to experience another 5 years at an amazing place! THANK YOU to all the teachers and staff at The Goddard School in Goodyear for taking care of our baby girl and preparing her for the world!

This school was not good at all!!! I had a infant and he cried a lot and they did not want to deal with him and ur in the childcare biz come on. When I left they did not say anything to me or my infant. Karma will come back I am a true believer in that😉

Great school!
