Jacksonville Reviews & Recognition

The director and admin team promote a diverse and inclusive learning environment for my child. I especially appreciate how allergy-conscious the school is by implementing easy-to-follow policies to ensure all children are included. I am so proud to be affiliated with this school.

We love the teachers and the staff overall. Everyone seems really nice and cares about the kids. Also, the education that my son is getting already at 3 seems far beyond other daycares.

I appreciate how the Goddard school has worked with my child and not given up on him. I know he can be tough but we have openly communicated about ways to help him succeed. That’s means the world to us. Gayle, Keshia, and team are great.

Great school and friendly folks! Sometimes it smells a bit like diapers and sanitation, but I guess that is to be expected. I love the full day and that your facility provides snacks.

Charlotte's Mother

Toddler Classroom

We came to this school after having to leave a previous daycare. They have been so amazing with our twins. The teachers pour in so much love & extraordinary patience. My girls can be challenging but they never make me feel that way. They have come leaps and bounds in their development and we couldn’t be happier.

We have been so grateful for the wonderful teachers welcoming our son into the school! Not only is everyone friendly and approachable but he has learned so much already!

Surry & Beau's Mother

Preschool Classroom

We recently switched schools from Rosewood to Goddard and have had such a great experience so far. This is the first time in a while my son hasn’t cried at drop off and seems to truly love his new classroom. The teachers in Peppy Pelicans are so sweet and really seem to enjoy being there. I’ve noticed other things like very little (if any) food stains on clothes, never dirty at pick up, and amazing communication. It’s the little things that make a big difference!

Kaison & Layla's Mother

Cassandra's Father

I love the level of communication we have with our baby's teachers. We are all on the same team and working on each important milestone. The multiple pictures a day are an added bonus.

Tanner & Sutton's Mother

Infant Classroom

We absolutely love the open communication and welcoming environment to all families. The structure has had such a positive impact on our child's thirst for learning. He went from "NO SCHOOL!" tantrums each morning at his prior school to stating that school is his favorite part of the day. It's truly astounding and we absolutely love the enrichment and phenomenal staff at this school.

Henry & William's Mother

Toddler Classroom

I LOVE how well rounded the education is at The Goddard School! The students are exposed to so much! Not only are they learning the curriculum to be prepared for Kindergarten, but they are also exposed to extracurricular activities such as art, music, spanish, BASE fitness, chess, etc. I wish The Goddard School continued into elementary education as well.

Liam & Hadley's Mother

Junior-K Classroom

My word, the staff is incredible and kind, and smart, and really actually care for my child. Go JellyFish! I have to say, I could not be happier about placing our child here. Also, I know for sure, with all the activities, that he will be ready for Kindergarten when the time comes. Thanks All!

Dylan & Aria's Mother

I feel very comfortable with Ethan at Goddard school. The daily email reports are so extremely helpful to me because it allows me to stay involved with what is going on, even though I don't get to pick him up and drop him off. I feel that his teachers are loving and caring and work hard to teach in a fun and exciting way. Ethan loves school and that is the best measure there is.
