Tampa (Westchase) Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • The teachers and administration are amazing and care for all the children who attend Goddard. The level of learning my child receives is amazing.

    Grant's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • We’ve been at the school for nearly 4 years now. Every class has been “our favorite.” We love the teachers and the staff and how loved our children are. The only time I ever had an issue, when I addressed it, I felt listened to and it got resolved with love and care, which is all I can ever ask for. Our family has nothing but love for this school and would recommend it to anyone.

    Preschool Classroom

  • Before my son who is 3, started Goddard School he hated going to daycare. He said it wasn’t fun and his teachers weren’t nice to him. Now he can’t wait to get to school and see what fun activity he gets to do today with his friends. We love Goddard school!!!

    John's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • I love how overly prepared my children are for Kindergarten when they get there, that they could almost go straight into first grade!

    Remy & Lukas's Father

    Preschool Classroom

  • Extremely caring and genuine staff. Not a one size fits all approach. Very supportive and nurturing. Excellent education standards. My oldest son graduated The Goddard School and he, and many of his Goddard classmates, were swiftly identified for gifted programs in elementary. My younger son is in VPK at Goddard and passed a recent kindergarten assessment with ease. A very solid start from an educational and pastoral perspective.

    Sammy & Leo's Mother

    Finn's Mother

  • The lesson plans and daily activities have played a key role in our daughters development and will prepare her for elementary school and beyond. The foundation Goddard has set will be seen for years to come.

    Kathryn's Father

    Pre-K Classroom

  • My daughter previously came from an expensive chain daycare center and, although at the time I thought this was the best money could buy, I was proven completely wrong when she joined Goddard. I cannot tell you enough what a positive and flourishing difference the change has made. Now she always is excited to go the daycare and happy when she leaves. She eats all of her good and just looks overall worlds happier than she ever did at the prior daycare.

    Ella's Mother

    Michael's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • I love the facility, how clean everything is. The teachers are very educated and nice with my daughter. I feel that my daughter is safe when she is there, she is learning more and more every day. I am very happy with The Goddard School.

    Sabrina's Mother
