Bala Cynwyd 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.

  • I always feel safe with my child at the Goddard school. My son is far more advanced with knowledge he learns at Goddard, than other children his age. We love the daily pictures we get showing the things our son is doing and learning.

  • Great teachers and staff, who really care about and love the kids. Every day our son learns new things and has fun doing it. I appreciate the owners' approach to the pandemic, following required guidance and taking appropriate precautions, but also balancing precautions against potential downsides and allowing parents to have a say in what measures are appropriate for our kids.

    Thomas & William's Father

    Infant Classroom

  • Friendly owners, teachers, and staff. They are invested in every child. They all know every kids' name and that is very special, I think it also puts the children at ease when they interact with such friendly people. We have one more year left at the Goddard School and we will be very sad to leave.
