Urbana Reviews & Recognition

The Goddard School in Urbana, MD was the best decision we have ever made for our family. All 3 of our kids will eventually graduate from there with each having their own unique and wonderful experience. The staff there is fabulous and you always feel like family. More importantly, we have seen first hand how the Goddard School prepares children for the future as they head to elementary school.

Goddard Urbana has been such a blessing for our family, especially after the pandemic. My 3 yo and 2 yo are happy, thriving, confident little kids. Every afternoon on picking them up they both immediately say they had a fun day. The teachers have been fantastic at communicating and updating us on how the kids are doing. It is also clear that our children are learning while having fun as they always have something new to show us. We highly recommend Goddard Urbana.

We have sent three children through the school. The facility is always clean and up to date. The staff is responsive to questions and inquiries. Although this is a high-turnover industry, we have been happy to see many of the same faces over the last nine years. We like Tadpoles as a communication mechanism. Most importantly, our children have always been happy there.

Nathan's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I love the curriculum- in addition to a “standard” pre-K curriculum, my child has learned chess, yoga, and so much more. The teachers, directors, and owners are wonderful, and you can tell they truly care about the kids. It’s been amazing watching how much my children learned and how much they improved in different areas shortly after starting Goddard.

My child's growth in Goddard's Pre-K program over the past few weeks has been astounding. She has learned so much and is very happy at school. This has been her first experience in school full-time, and she has adjusted to the long days with ease. I attribute much of her smooth transition to the teachers and staff at the school.

Our daughter has been going to the Goddard school at Urbana for 5 years now and the school has been amazing. She loves going to Goddard and has made many great friends there. The management is excellent with exceptional customer service. The school is very clean and organized. The teachers are very professional, caring and conscientious. We highly recommend this school.

Emma's Mother

The care and instruction our daughter receives is second to none. We knew The Goddard School was head and shoulders above other schools after our first visit. Our friends with kids enrolled elsewhere always say their provider is “ok” or “gets the job done” but we our confident she is learning everyday in the most caring environment.
