Chagrin Falls 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.

  • Everything! The physical classrooms are welcoming and safe for exploration, the staff are knowledgeable and engaging, the administration are focused on parent outreach and connection, the teaching philosophy is consistent through the classrooms and is supportive but challenging and growth focused. We love Chagrin Goddard School.

  • We adore the Goddard School and all of the staff and teachers. Our daughter has been attending Goddard for about a year and has thrived. She has grown so much academically and socially this past year. With the pandemic this year, Goddard has been on top of everything keeping the kids safe. We could not have chosen a better school and adore everyone we have come in contact with!

We enjoy the daily personalized notes and photos they send and the adorable artwork too! We’re very appreciative of everything they do for our family.

    Alexander's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • First, the location and improvements to the school are great. The teachers and director take the time to connect with parents one on one and really have an open dialogue about the kiddos; this is very helpful in understanding both the achievements and struggles that happen. The school continues to introduce new and exciting events, weekly themes and opportunities to the kids and parents. The owners are there every day with an open door as well.

    Max's Mother

    Pre-K Classroom

  • We feel like the owners care about the kids and learning environment. They have greatly improved the experience - from facility upgrades, tech enhancements, SMS messaging for relevant updates - to make it more engaging for the parents and students.

    Abigail & Elizabeth's Father

    Pre-K Classroom

  • It starts at the top. The owner's Kim & Scott not only care for there staff but each and every student in the school. They don't look at it as a business as much as really trying to develop each & every employee and each & every student. Because of there genuine care for there staff it reflects how the staff interact with the students. With much love and patience. They are professional but also very caring and wants what is best for all who enter there building.

    John David & Michael's Father

    Before/After School Program

  • Teachers genuinely care. Greatcommunication about activities the kids are doing as well as back and forth with the teachers themselves. Unique approach to learning. Embraces signs and technology, good style of discipline. Feels 'good' ??
