Philadelphia (Spring Garden) 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 absolutely love Goddard. The teachers and owners are amazing. We love to see our little guy leave everyday with a smile on his face.

    Doran 's Mother

    Pre-K Classroom

  • The GS is a rhizomatic environment where kids have a safe and clean space to learn and develop with other kids and staff who support them and other staff at all stages of child’s growth and development. Teachers are flexible and attentive. Principal, Assistant Principal and owner are thoughtful, kind and down to earth directly involved in all aspects of school’s functioning and success.

    Anne's Father

  • I couldn’t say anything better about the staff at Goddard. Everyone is absolutely wonderful. I love the explanation of the detailed lessons my child will be learning that week and you can see in your little one how much they are absorbing etc. Also, all the fun activities your child gets to partake in on a daily basis is great as well!

    Nirvan's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • The teachers, director, and owners always welcome me and my son with a smile. The transitions from teacher to teacher are seemless. My son has grown with his speech, expressing himself greatly, sharing details from stories and events and counting. He's exposed to different topics each week and creates fun hands-on projects to go with it. I enjoyed getting to know other moms at the Muffins with Moms event for Mother's Day. Looking forward to more family events!

    Keniel & Amoya's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • The hours are great for working parents and the days off are minimal compared to other schools. Goddard provides the most annual coverage of any program we reviewed - but that is not something parents always consider until they've already joined a daycare! Oh, and the parents night out is just the most thoughtful thing ever - and greatly appreciated.

    Arlo's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • Facilities; teachers; management

  • We have been at Goddard for about a month now, and we love it. Our son, who was formerly home with me (mom) everyday, acclimated quite quickly and to my surprise. Now, he loves the school, his teachers, and his classmates, and is excited to go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays!

Ms. Cassie is always ready to say "yes", talk whenever I call or stop by, and help me with any extra task. I feel comfortable and at ease with my son attending Goddard. He comes home with stories and such excitement every afternoon. I can't recommend it enough.

    Jerry's Mother

    Lucia 's Mother

    Infant Classroom

  • The teachers and admin staff are all amazing. Everyone is so knowledgeable and I find myself learning many things from them that I use to be a better parent to our child. This is especially appreciated because we don't live close to family, and Goddard has been invaluable as a source of guidance in our lives.

    Arlo's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • Very competent administrators who handle the paperwork really well and manage to still be super friendly and available and welcoming to the kids. The school has excellent equipment. The days are really well structured with a good balance of silly play and more structured activities.

    Vienna's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • The entire staff has been so incredibly patient with my oldest starting school for the first time. He went many weeks with tears at drop off, but I always felt comfortable leaving because I would see how teachers/any staff was willing to step in and respond appropriately. And I must add that he is always very happy at pick up - ready to talk about the great day he had and always references his teachers!

    Jerry's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

    Benjamin's Father

    Toddler Classroom

  • We loved Goddard! Everyone at the school is so friendly and caring, and it’s clear from both our daughter’s excitement at drop-off every day and the daily reports and photos that she is getting a wonderful education and experience. And at such a young age! We never envisioned a 6-month-old painting or doing splash day or anything like that. But we are so happy about it all and she is too. We can’t say enough positive things about The Goddard School!

    Matilda (Millie)'s Father

  • We are very happy with Goddard. Teachers have been amazing. Management is personable and responsive. They are improving communications. My child is learning so much. Love that the kids play outside most days and have access to the multipurpose room.
