Gaithersburg (Kentlands) Reviews & Recognition

We've trusted The Goddard School of Gaithersburg with both of our kids' well being and education and could not have been happier. Information and feedback is timely, the teachers and directors are very proactive and responsive to each child's needs. We've had 4 great years with them so far.

Piper & Asher's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I feel that The Goddard School challenges my daughter and keeps her motivated. Watching her growth over the past 3 years has been amazing. From her very first teachers talking us through many situations as new parents, potty training and night terrors, to her current teachers working with her on sight words and math, we have always been very happy. All of her teachers have been wonderful and always accessible. The administrative staff has been great as well.

Among other things, on the whole I like the emphasis on the emotional and social development of the children.

Audrey & Ednam's Father

Pre-K Classroom

My son is thriving at The Goddard School. I am so impressed with what he's learning, with the activities he's doing each day, with the teachers and staff... the level of quality really is phenomenal. I feel confident that he will be more than prepared for Kindergarten. I would recommend (and already have recommended!) Goddard to any parent. The school is truly setting my child up to succeed.

Killian's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

I think one of our favorite aspects of the Goddard School are the relationships that our daughter has with her teachers. She went from being very nervous about starting this whole new part of her life, going to school, to nowadays wanting us to take her right back to school wen we pick her up. It's been amazing to see the change in her personality as she has had spent so much time with the teaching staff and the other students.

We just started at Goddard at the beginning of summer and the experience has been amazing so far. I can already notice a big difference in the way our child communicates and interacts with people. The activities that they are doing are so stimulating. Our child's transition to a new school could not have been more seamless. She is very happy and excited to go to school everyday.

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!

Aria's Mother

Kindergarten Classroom

Goddard School isn't a day care, it's a school. The kids coming out of room 16 are better prepared for kindergarten than any I've ever seen. The teachers are not babysitters, they are educators. The teachers have the skills to teach not only academics but also social development.

Jack & Cadence's Father

Kindergarten Classroom

Friendly and caring staff that is very knowledgeable. The school is innovative and figured out ways to keep my little one engaged and learning throughout the shutdown. The school has opened up in a manner that keeps us at ease. Protocols have been put in place to keep the students and staff safe. My son is so happy to be back in school.

Reece's Mother

Veda's Father

Kindergarten Classroom

The Goddard School is an exceptional place. Academia is unmatched, while care and comfort is still at the forefront. The cleanliness of the school shouldn't be ignored, especially when comparing to other schools in the area. I feel sorry for those who either aren't in the know or just weren't able to get their child into this program.

Mary Olivia's Father

Preschool Classroom

Daily lesson plans, daily updates, loving teachers, positive reinforcement... After Maddie was in school for one week she was talking in complete sentences. Despite this devastating pandemic this school has remained devoted to our next generation. They have risked exposure to continue the education of our most precious resource. They have been the one normalizing aspect in this most abnormal time.

Madeleine's Mother

It feels like family. Very friendly and caring staff. Our child might not tell us everything she learned but the progress in her language and social skills explains it. We’re thankful for Goddard school
