Huntingdon Valley 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.

  • We love all of the staff. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with warmth and welcome. You walk your child down to their room and right away the teachers engage with you and your child making them feel comfortable to be able to leave without tears. And even when there are tears they are able to ensure your child is fine in a matter of seconds with follow up photos.

  • Goddard Huntingdon valley is a great school. Each of my 3 girls have gone there since they were 3 months old and have learned so much. You can see the difference in their social and emotional skills vs some of their other relatives and friends. The staff has been great to our family from the start and we can always count on them. I highly recommend Goddard school.
