What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

My kids are happy, well cared for, physically and emotionally safe, and exposed to a variety of activities and learning opportunities.

Everett & Caelum's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

1. Adequate staff - at previous daycare it was basically first come, first serve and I was turned away frequently. That has never happened while we have been at Goddard 2. Excellent Teachers and support staff- everybody knows my little one's name as well as his sister who doesn't even go to Goddard 3. Awesome activities for the kids during school, and lots of outside time during the day. 4. Family activities on and off campus

Elyas's Mother

Toddler Classroom

The staff is phenomenal. They have been so kind and supportive of our son as well as my wife and I. We thoroughly appreciate everyone there as well as the environment and culture they have cultivated at The Goddard School of Asheville.

Saylor's Father

Toddler Classroom

Everything. The faculty. Facility. Everything.

Nora's Father

Preschool Classroom

As parents, we have witnessed our daughter blossom as a two year old at the Goddard School. She is incredibly well cared for, loves going to school, and has developed strong relationships with the teachers. In addition, we have seen her take some developmental leaps, including a rapid growth in her vocabulary. We attribute that to the enriching curriculum that the Goddard School has in place. We couldn't be happier.

Eleanor's Father

Toddler Classroom

The teachers and owners are so nice and kind. I can drop both my kids off every day and feel confident that they are both being cared for while learning new and exciting things daily. We’re very grateful for The Goddard School and plan to have both our kids there through preschool. Thank you!

Hudson & Sophia's Mother

Love how engaged the teachers are with our son. Plus Goddard does a great job of keeping us informed with photos and reports every day.
