We have been taking our boys to Goddard since our oldest was 10 months old. It’s been 8 years in total between 2 kids. We only recently left as the youngest is now starting kinder.You won’t find more dedicated owners or directors in a childcare facility. Administrative staff as well as teachers treat the kiddos like their own. They all know the kiddos as well as family members by name. We highly recommend this school. We are sad to leave but excited for the adventure ahead.

The teachers are top notch! Miss Sequoia’s dedication to her students exceeded my expectations over the past 2 years. My family will forever be grateful for the excellent care our son received while attending the Goddard School in Henderson.

We LOVE Goddard! As first-time parents, we were incredibly nervous about not being with our daughter all of the time. As working parents, ensuring our child would be in a loving, stimulating environment was so important. In looking at other preschools, Goddard truly stood out. From the moment we stepped into the school for a tour, we felt welcome. From our experience, Goddard focuses on making sure children are fully supported to learn well in an environment that is not only centered on intellectual development, but also in emotional development. In many ways, having an emotionally intellectual child outweighs IQ. Our daughter has thrived at Goddard. She loves her teachers and we know that they, just as much as we, are dedicated to her and the person she is and is growing to become.

Stop looking at all the schools, Goddard is everything that you have heard, it is wonderful. I really love the fact that everyone is so personable. I dont feel like just another number and I have felt that since the very first inquiry. From the staff, to the teachers and even the owners, everyone works in harmony and the environment is a reflection of that. This year has been filled with challenges to say the least, and I feel that they have overcome it with dedicated stride. Having my child start in June 2020 (first time attending school) right after quarantine I never felt like my child wasnt safe; and trusted the staff and Jyoti to implement all the new precautions because I was in constant email with them (and all my questions!). They have done a wonderful job executing everything during this unprecedented time. The play based education superseded my expectations of her learning, really thinking outside the box. The daily emails/reports of descriptions and photos of what she is learning everyday is really a stand out--its amazing to see photos of your child when she is away at school interacting and ENJOYING school. My only complaint is that it stops at pre-k! :)

I can’t say enough good things about the school. From the director, Gia, downward their staff is amazing. They have been helpful, understanding, and extremely patient with me and my family throughout the years. It has been such a positive experience, I wish we could stay longer.

Be very careful. We were scammed by the school and it’s director. We were placed on a waiting list over a year ago, put down a deposit to reserve our spot in line and were promised a certain class to be in by the new year. We called at the beginning of the year and were told the class was still full & the teacher had left. We still waited till about a month ago and called to get our money back. Come to find out multiple students had jumped ahead of us in line. After being yelled about how our deposit should be non refundable and that it was somehow our fault that we were skipped. The director agreed to refund the deposit. A month later were still waiting. If you all need to scam people for a deposit keep it. This will be shared so no other families go through this.

We have had our son at The Goddard School for 2 years. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. Our son has truly excelled, learnt and gained so much! Even through these tough, uncertain times, they have not once wavered from their commitment to provide a safe and healthy learning environment. We will continue to recommend this school! It is a wonderful place for your child to spend their early years.

My daughter shows me all the things she learns in school and it makes me so proud. When she misbehaves they are quick and kind to show her how to solve problems with words and patience. The office staff are very helpful and my daughter hasnt been sick once.

We first learned of The Goddard School two years ago when I began touring preschools for our three year old son. The first place I toured was so disappointing and then a friend of ours recommended Goddard. I was IMMEDIATELY so so impressed. The minute you walk into the school it’s evident they take security very seriously, the place is spotless (it even smells clean), they’re incredibly organized and attentive. I couldn’t wait to sign our son up. We got very lucky there was no waiting list for the days we wanted and started him right away. The staff knew us by name within about three days and have treated us like family ever since. Our son has transitioned through three classrooms and each teacher has been an absolute joy. It was always clear they really took pride in what they do and our son has grown, matured, learned, made many lifelong friends and thrived over the last couple years at Goddard. We are wrapping up our time there now that he will start Kindergarten in the fall, but we have since recommended other families and could not say enough wonderful things about the staff and our experience here. It was our privilege to be a Goddard family!-The Webers

We love and appreciate how mindful Goddard has been regarding our daughters food allergies. We are also grateful for the patience that teachers and staff have with our two young kids who are still learning how to handle themselves. Goddard offers an amazing program for young, growing minds. We are very fortunate to be a part of the Goddard Family.

This place is absolutely amazing. Every morning my daughter is excited to go to school, she runs thorough the hallways and hugs all the staff members she come into contact with. My wife and I love that she is learning so much, including Spanish and sign language. The teachers are incredible and are cherished by our family. I spend extra time with the teachers and support staff, we have shared some pretty personal family related issues and have created an environment where we treat each other like family. This facility is has the most incredible human beings and everybody is always happy and friendly. We have one more year left and will be very sad to leave. As for tuition, very fair and I believe below other comparable schools. This school has recently added a gym, an outdoor play ground and improved the parking lot to provide the safest drop off and pick up location. We love this place and love all the people who work there.

In the short amount Ive spent at the Goddard School, I have gained amazing life long friends and mentors in my life. ❤ Thank you for accepting my weirdness and adding to it with no hesitation. Thank you for showering me with love and making me feel part of the family. I am truly blessed to have worked with an amazing staff and students. I will miss you all very dearly.

I like how much the staff cares, particularly the teachers and assistants. My child is so happy to attend everyday and never wants to leave when I pick her up. I also like the variety of activities intertwined with learning, like yoga and soccer. The curriculum is very balanced so kids are never bored.

Our son has only been going here for a month. But in this short time he has shown new skills, new vocabulary and most importantly, seems to really enjoy his time here. His teachers are nurturing, loving and very comforting. The entire faculty seem like family and we are extremely happy so far with the Goddard School!!

We love our experience at the Goddard School! The entire staff is genuinely caring and welcoming. My daughter loves her teachers and classmates there. She comes home singing various songs she learned and is even singing and counting in Spanish! I also appreciate the security measures taken at this school...gives us peace of mind.

Best school ever! I wish it went higher in grades, I would keep my daughter there as long as I could. The whole staff is amazing! My daughter stopped crying when I dropped her off on her SECOND day! I had no idea that was possible as she cried everyday for 2 months at the last school she was at. Highly recommended.

My 2 year old was not doing well at her school. We brought her to Goddard and now she is eager to go to school every day and is overall a happier and more communicative child. The one-on-one attention paid to the students is nothing short of transformational.

My names Scott Skapley, our Son Tommy attended Goddard And I never do this but I had to write the best review possible. The professionalism of the staff and the teachers are second to none. The school has touched our life in a way that you could not imagine. When you have children you want the very best for them and no doubt Goddard is the very best. I can’t think of the words to thank them enough for what they have done for my family and for my son. Love you guys

The staff has been very supportive and the classrooms are a good ratio of kids to teacher. I thought the class size was going to be a lot bigger but very happy to see its a smaller amount of kids in the room. The kids seem well taken care of in terms of activities, fun art projects, reading, cleanliness, help in bathroom etc. I like every week is a new topic and that I receive daily reports of what my daughter did in the class including pictures. I also like that they offer extra curricular activities throughout the week like sports, dance and gymnastics.Your continued support means so much to us, and we

Excellent classroom settings. A strong focus on each child in the class with a curriculum that not only teaches social skills, but also focuses on education and preparation for Kindergarten and beyond.Everyone involved with the school has been a pleasure to work with and I know our oldest will hate leaving there, but we know our youngest is in for a treat.

I love that Harvey comes home excited to tell me about his day. I love that hes learning while hes having fun and hes making friends and coming out of his shell. His teachers love him like we do. And he adores them! Hes learned to calm down by taking deep breaths and slowly letting them out. Hes learned teamwork and kindness. I never ever worry about his safety when I leave. I also never have to worry about his emotional health, unlike the last place where he was. We wish we could stay with Goddard through high school! We will send the next kiddo there!

My daughter graduated The Goddard Schools Pre-K program with Ms. Rose (who has been with Goddard for 6 years) and was completely prepared for kindergarten both academically and socially. From the moment you walk in you are greeted from Jyoti (the owner) or Gia and Laura (the office managers) you feel welcomed and accepted as family. The most important thing is how attentive and nurturing all of the staff are... you will run into Ms. Fran in the hall collecting lunches and she will give you a loud booming Texas hello! Even the baby room teachers Ms. Jen and Ms. Ashley greet my daughter with a smile and hug, they were never her teachers, honestly I do not know how all of the teachers know my daughter!! There is an open door policy and our concerns are always met with a sincere appreciation and quick response.The tuition is competitively priced for the area, I look at it as an investment in my daughters education!! I love that I can pack my daughter a lunch that they will warm up for her!!! They have top notch security, advanced curriculum and technology, low ratios, teachers with their degree, teachers with longevity, a gym, a garden, large outdoor musical instruments. One of my favorite things is the daily report that is emailed each day explaining my daughters day with pictures, graduation, and all of the family activities.I am born and raised here, have 4 children, and can say Goddard is the best school in the valley!!

We LOVE this school. You can tell that they are at the forefront of whole brain child development. Both my children came home surprising me with new things they learned including Spanish, yoga, sign language and healthy habits. The teachers are very communicative and take pictures daily on a private email update where parents can keep up with their kids activities. The place is SUPER clean and they have a gym for days when it gets really hot (with a cute mini climbing wall). All the preschool classes have their own mini garden they keep up, and there are events to involve parents. One of the staff members offered to babysit for me when I told them I didnt know anyone in the area yet, and my kids are still talking about her. We LOVE Miss Lesleigh and Miss Ruby who really helped my kids transition well. I am always nervous about who I leave my kids with because of a previous bad experience (see my reviews), but the staff really helped me make the transition and feel comfortable, too. This place is worth every penny.

My wife and I had interviewed at ALL of the day cares in the area and when we entered The Goddard School we almost felt like we had entered heaven. This School ( thats right it is a true school overall vs a day care setting ) answered all of our prayers for what we wanted for our daughter. The place is immaculate. The entire staff is just amazing. My daughter loved this place from day one and I loved it from minute one. All the time my daughter says or does things I never taught her and I am amazed at the fact that she obviously learned it all in school. THANK YOU GODDARD for being such a wonderful place where I can feel good about leaving my daughter and know she is happier there than anyplace she could ever be each day. I almost felt bad she had to skip school to go to DISNEY WORLD.... Thats how good this place is !!!!

We were at first not sure about switching our girls to The Goddard School but once we did, we could not have been more pleased. In our house, we dont refer to The Goddard School as daycare or even preschool; its simply school. Weve seen our girls grow tremendously since starting at The Goddard School. Each day they have a variety of activities from learning letters and numbers and different yoga poses, and each day they come home with a report written by the teach of how each childs day went and what activities they participated. The teachers are wonderful and take a true interest in each childs learning development as well as their emotional development. Most days they are greeted at the door as they arrive by either the owner or the school administrator and as they leave each day its often the same with a hug good-bye and an Ill see you tomorrow. I couldnt think of a better school to send my children.

We have had our kids at Goddard for the past three years and we have not looked back. There is no shortage of daycare and preschool centers in Henderson, so interviewing and visiting each campus was quite a project. We chose The Goddard School for several reasons: a) trickle-down quality: we strongly believe that a strong directorship and management staff is paramount, as it trickles down to the most junior staff, and that was evident in this school; b) smaller environment where we felt our, then 2 years old, son would not feel swallowed or overwhelmed; c) brightness of the classrooms: every classroom has windows for natural light and the decorations are always changing; d) compassionate and educated teachers; e) most importantly, continuous investment in curriculum improvement!It is invaluable to see that, for the money, we are getting palpable value in our kids enrichment. Now, our oldest son graduated from the Pre-K program and we are not worried whether hes prepared to start Kindergarten because we know he is! Our second son has been there for the past 1.5 years and is following suit. We fully intend to also enroll our third son on the way!We strongly recommend The Goddard School and their great administrative/management staff. Keep up the good work!

I cannot day enough about Goddard in Henderson, Nevada! This school has truly been a blessing to my son and our family! We have been at Goddard since November 2017 and it was the best decision ever! Our son has high functioning autism and struggles in a few areas. We were looking for a school that would be understanding to his needs, yet challenge him in ways that help him grow. Goddard has gone a bod and beyond what our expectations were! Every single employee has taken him in and loved him and cheered for him. They have supported our family in making the best decisions for him and for us. They have made our son feel safe in learning to express himself in a positive way. Every single day he comes home and tells me atleast one new thing he learned at school. He loves going to school every morning and he absolutely adores all of his teachers and especially the front office staff, Gia and Laura! They have become a daily topic in our home and I can’t inagine where he would be without them! Thank you so much for genuinely caring for all of your students and seeing them as little humans! You have made a difference in my son’s life and in our life!
