Testimonials
"The Goddard School - St. Peters is an excellent choice for newborns to young school aged children. I would like to recommend both the school leaders and the staff. I am an elementary school teacher with ten years experience teaching young children. I have had my kids in home based care, church daycares and the "chains." The Goddard School - St. Peters is BY FAR the BEST I've ever seen! Their curriculum, standards for caring for the kids, cleanliness, safety, etc., are all the strictest and best I've experienced. I have looked extensively into other schools in the area and would whole-heartedly recommend this location! I love this school so much!"

My daughter was one of the first children to enroll when the Goddard School opened its doors to our community. Her journey has been one full of adventure, lessons, friendships and even courage. Watching her graduate and receive a diploma this past May was such a proud and bittersweet moment. We knew that she would be saying goodbye to wonderful friends and teachers, but were convinced that our girl was prepared to go onto "big kid school". As much care as the teachers and staff give the kids, they give that much more in education. Any fears that we had, quickly went away as she crossed that stage. Now, we get to watch our youngest grow and develop with the same teachers and staff - how wonderful is that? It is so wonderful to TRULY believe in your mind and heart that your children are being cared for in the ways that are important to you. The family that we have at The Goddard School is one that we will treasure for a lifetime.

"We cannot say enough about The Goddard School - St. Peters! Not only does this school provide a wonderful educational setting, but it also is full of people who genuinely care for our children. My two-year-old son knows all of his teachers, and he is always so excited to tell us what he did at school. We never have to worry about our infant daughter because we know that she is in good hands. The amount of education my children receive and the safe environment The Goddard School provides is such a wonderful way to introduce our children into the school setting!"

"What a great decision we made when enrolling both our girls full time into The Goddard School - St. Peters! We struggled with this decision as we'd had a private caregiver prior to the change. Due to our crazy and sometimes demanding work schedules, we finally came to the realization that we needed more flexibility, but did not want to compromise the level of individual care our girls were being given. We found the perfect combination at The Goddard School. Both girls transitioned easily into their respective classes, and we have loved watching them bond with their teachers, make new friends with their classmates, and grow as little individuals. We feel so comfortable knowing that while our girls are being stimulated each day with wonderful activities and learning experiences, that they are also being given lots of TLC and attention. As far as the staff, I cannot say enough.... Jennifer and Amy are just amazing and all of the teachers and assistants have been nothing but the best to work with. We highly recommend The Goddard School - St. Peters to you and your family."

"I have one son, Luke, age 5 years, at The Goddard School - St. Peters. This was our first experience with away from home care with Luke. We both work, but my mother watched the kids for us. Nearing the Kindergarten age, I looked into the Pre-K options. Not knowing any better, I was informed the Pre-K programs last a school year, not just a few months-so we got a late start in the Pre-K program with Goddard. Luke has stayed at Goddard in the summer program also, and loves the activities. On the morning of school days, Luke always asks me to read him the menu for the day, and he gets very excited about the food! It must be good stuff, Mr. Tim (chef)! Luke has done really well and has come a long way in a short time. I know he is doing so well because of the caring and attentive staff at Goddard. He will start Kindergarten soon, and I think he will be ready for the all day "big boy" school thanks to all the things he's learned and experienced with Goddard. I will be sending our three-year-old to Goddard, even though grandma is still caring for him at home. I feel even though we have "daycare" with grandma, I have been so pleased with The Goddard School, that I want our three-year-old to enjoy time away from us and benefit from this opportunity also. Thank you to the entire Goddard School staff for the wonderful care all of you have given my family! I know Luke will miss his friends and teachers when he goes off to Kindergarten. He will visit when his little brother starts coming to Goddard! Best Wishes to all of you - Thanks again!"

“My daughter began attending Goddard at eleven months of age. It was never our intent for her to attend school before the age of two years. However, we abruptly had to change that plan when our caregiver could no longer keep her. I had some concerns about the lack of quality early childcare facilities and was not very optimistic. We were very selective in the schools we toured because we wanted the "best" environment for our daughter to feel safe, loved and to grow. Well, from the very first meeting with Jennifer, I knew in my heart, that Goddard was the number one selection. The professionalism, enthusiasm and passion that Jennifer and Amy displayed while talking about Goddard and the staff truly stood out to me. In addition, the total patience they had with me (answering my "101 questions" - smile) confirmed that I would be able to openly communicate with them regarding my daughter's journey at Goddard. Once, I had the opportunity to meet several of the teachers and teacher's assistants, it was so pleasing to witness that they ALL exhibited the same qualities as Jennifer and Amy. This pretty much solidified my confidence in starting my daughter at Goddard. It is a blessing to know that when I bring my daughter to school that she is greeted by name (not a general hello), she is well-attended to during all of her activities, and when I call to check on her (at least three times a week) I get a "full and accurate" report. I'm so thankful that The Goddard School - St. Peters is here! It allows my husband and I to fulfill our daily obligations knowing that our daughter is spending the day with passionate teachers that genuinely care about her and her "friends." Goddard has truly been a wonderful experience for our family. Our daughter continues to feel safe and she's so happy! Those are definitely essential in allowing her to have such successful developmental growth! P.S. Did I forget to mention that at eighteen months she was singing her "ABCs" and more? I love it!”

"It was after interviewing several schools and repeatedly visiting The Goddard School-St. Peters that we finally chose it as our daughter's preschool. Our daughter has been at The Goddard School for one year. We have been very happy with our experiences. We are very happy with the facility as it is always clean and orderly. Our daughter is clearly learning new things at school and is excited about what she learns. Her teachers make learning fun and are very loving towards the kids; this makes our daughter's experience there very positive. She has expressed to us how much she likes her school. In addition, Jennifer and Amy are very flexible and accommodating. They have been willing to make changes on their end to accommodate us on several occasions. They really listen to my and our daughter's needs and work hard to make us feel comfortable. The staff at the school keep us very well-informed. I have never felt out of the loop or as though any information should have been disseminated and wasn't. Finally, the staff and teachers are very friendly and welcoming. In fact, most of the teachers know my daughter's name even though they have never had her! There is a real family feel there. This was probably our biggest selling point. What you see is what you get at The Goddard School-St. Peters. It really is as safe, happy and well-run as it seems. We are very pleased with our decision and can recommend the school without hesitation."

"Our two children attend The Goddard School. We absolutely love everything about it! Our 4 year old is always amazing us with what her wonderful teachers have taught her. She looks forward everyday to seeing her teachers and friends, and even talks about them on the weekends. Our son, 2, is very attached to his teachers and is always smiling and very happy when we pick him up every evening. The teachers are all very experienced and knowledgeable. Jennifer and Amy are so patient and kind, and always there to answer any questions we may have. It is very reassuring knowing that our children are getting such wonderful care in a safe, and warm environment while we are at work!"

"My son David has attended The Goddard School for a year now. He was in the 3 year old room and has since moved to the 4 year old room. My husband and I wanted to give him a positive start at a quality preschool. We feel The Goddard School is it! The Flex program allows children to learn through play and exploration, which is the way it should be. The daily activity report allows us to have better communication with our son about his day at school. The Goddard School offers enriching experiences throughout the school year, such as science night, etc. We really like that the owner is onsite and is an active participant in the school. The staff has been very professional and courteous. I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to provide a solid learning foundation for their child.
