Collegeville 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.

  • Our experience with Goddard has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff's unwavering dedication is truly commendable, creating a warm and welcoming environment that instantly puts our minds at ease when dropping off our kids. The clear and open lines of communication have been a crucial aspect, allowing us to stay informed about our children's activities and well-being. This transparency fosters a strong sense of trust, making the school feel like an extension of our family!

  • The teachers and administrators of this school are so warm and nurturing! After many hours of researching and multiple school tours, I knew the moment that i stepped into this school that this would be my baby’s daycare. The facility is very clean and welcoming and most importantly the communication/support from the teachers is second to none. My mind is put at ease knowing my daughter is in the best hands! I’m so happy we’re part of Goddard collegeville.

  • We have loved our experience at The Goddard School! We have sent two children there, and have always felt that Goddard has their best interests-- academically, emotionally and safety-wise-- at heart. They have been communicative and transparent throughout the pandemic, and we truly appreciate all of the precautions they've put in place to keep their students and families safe.

    Luke's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • We were reluctant to start daycare during a pandemic and when our daughter was under 2 but we couldn’t be happier with our decision. She is thriving and we are able to be more productive working from home. The constant updates from tadpoles and the accessibility of the teachers and staff has been super helpful in the adjustment period!

As a parent, I also find relief that my children have been able to attend schooling during the pandemic in a healthy and safe manner.

  • My daughter started attending Goddard after being at home with us for 14 months. She had a tough time adjusting and they were very attentive to her needs and what she was having difficulty with. They suggested options for me to help her transition easier and have been very great with feedback and attention to her.

  • - The teachers are phenomenal - Activities are engaging for the students (1x/week water play, Mr. Mike, petting zoo, etc.) - Tadpoles updates - Directors/Owner are very accomodating and great to work with, especially if we have any concerns

    Grace's Father

  • Teachers are professional, kind, and patient. My daughter just moved to US and didn't speak English at all, and a bit shy when seeing other people outside the family. However she felt comfortable with teachers (if she didn't see me) and missed the classes. My wife and I both believe that learning in Goddard can help her a lot in many ways.
