Pasadena 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.

  • This school has been an absolute godsend. The Owner/Director is fabulous and her staff, incredible. Caring instructors make working parents feel reassured, as excellent care is provided to children ages 6 months and up.

    Olivia's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • The staff is extremely friendly and well educated. I feel that they truly care about my child and never have to worry for a second that she is not being well taken care of in my absence.

    Abigail's Mother

    Pre-K Classroom

  • Since my daughter has started at The Goddard School, her vocabulary has tripled. She interacts well with other children, and has started singing more songs. I would recommend this school to anyone! We have been very impressed.

    Emerson's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • Exceptionally friendly staff who take a clear interest in making sure our daughter has an engaging and meaningful experience while she's at school. The regular picture updates are a great touch and an easy way for us to see that she is enjoying herself, as well as to gain insight on what sort of activities she's working on that day. Staff is communicative and very accommodating of less common things like cloth diapering and reusable wipes that help us in our efforts to reduce waste.
