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.

  • We love it here! The teachers are staff are all wonderful and feels like a little home away from home for Lincoln. He loves coming to school to play and learn!

    Lincoln's Mother

  • We've loved Goddard Exton ever since the moment we walked in the door 5 years ago with our daughter. Everyone there feels like family. We LOVE the teachers our daughter has now in her Jr. K room- they are approachable, caring, creative and genuinely care about our daughter. She happily runs into school every day and can't wait to see them and tell them any news or stories she has.

I know when I drop my kids off they are going to have fun, learn a ton, and be well-cared for and safe. The curriculum, the activities, the amazing teachers and leadership staff…I can’t say enough great things about this school.

    Toddler Classroom

  • The atmosphere is safe, friendly, warm, and welcoming. All of the staff know my child and are genuinely excited to greet her or chat with her. The rich array of educational and life experiences that my child is exposed to is setting her up for future success not only in school but in her social/emotional experiences as well. Finally, my child loves going to school every morning and as a parent you can't ask for anything more satisfying than knowing your child is safe,happy and eager to learn!

We feel as though she's learning a lot and we're getting the support we need for everything we're trying to work on with her at home.

From exposure to other cultures, languages and advanced learning to the fun and adventurous activities, our children's lives are enriched because of the Goddard curriculum.
