Fort Mill (Doby's Bridge) 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 have been incredibly happy with our experience at the Goddard School! The teachers and staff are what make this school as incredible as it is. We love every person that works here. We always feel welcomed and we feel that our daughter is in the best hands. The curriculum and facility are also top-notch.

  • Strong curriculum program, which has more than prepared my student for Kindergarten. Wonderful teachers and a culture that values teachers. Safe, warm and structured environment. Love the extra, but included, enrichment programs, like soccer, yoga, shining stars, and music Friday’s. New, clean facility.

    Juliette & Everett & Layla's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • Some amazing teachers. Clean and professional environment. Newer and very nice building/playground/facility. My child loves the ‘big playground’. Seems to have much less teacher turnover than other daycare/preschools. Love the structured day and curriculum. The Otters classroom was amazing supporting my child with potty training and learning so many new skills. Love love soccer with Coach Henry and music day with Mr. Nigel. Mom also loves coffee truck day.

    Daykin's Mother

    Goddard Graduate

  • We have been very happy at Goddard these past few years. The teachers are amazing, and the front desk staff is so welcoming and kind. My children have flourished there. My only hesitation in recommending Goddard to others would be the cost, as not everyone can afford the high tuition.
