The Goddard School in Gaithersburg has been wonderful for both my kids! They have a great curriculum and provide wonderful learning opportunities for children. The school has been diligent throughout the pandemic in taking safety precautions and we have been so happy that they have been able to stay open throughout the pandemic and not have had one positive student/child case. We have been very happy with our experience at Goddard School and have/would recommend it to anyone seeking childcare!

The Goddard school has been an amazing institution for my daughter. The kindergarten program has allowed our daughter to grow and thrive from an educational and developmental perspective. The faculty and administrative staff are professional, responsive, and caring. My wife and I could not be happier with our experience at the Goddard school and we recommend this Goddard location to anyone searching for a place where their children will learn and develop.

So far everything has been a very smooth transition for my daughter. She loves going to school and has so much to talk about when she comes home. The communication is AMAZING and the staff is always so friendly and personable.
