What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

This school is everything to our kids and family. They employee nothing but the BEST people and we are so thankful for them. The office staff is always onto of things and handles everything with ease. I drop my kids off everyday knowing they will be loved on and given knowledge throughout the day to develop and grow. I love The Goddard School Hardin Valley.

Cason & Lincoln's Mother

Infant Classroom

Everything! We just moved to Knoxville, and we couldn't ask for a better place for our child to attend school. Especially with the COVID crisis, Goddard keeps us informed throughout each and every day with protocol, upcoming events, and our child's activities throughout the day.

Maren Claire's Father

Toddler Classroom

Everyone is so warm and kind at Goddard, it’s truly a great experience for us to send our child there. He is already growing and learning so much, and we can tell he’s happy to be there. Best daycare in Knoxville!

Eli's Mother

Infant Classroom

The learning environment at the Goddard school is exceptional. Active learning is taking place in all aspects of the daily routine!

Cooper & Franklin & Ella's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

We love all things about Goddard! I love how they all know my boy and our cars, it shows they care. I love how much more advanced my littlest is compared to his older siblings at their age, and it's because of Goddard. I am a first time working out of the home mom even though I have 4 babies. Goddard eased my transition and continues to do so with each class my boy moves too. I wouldn't trade this school.

Bennett's Mother

Every employee I’ve interacted with has been WONDERFUL. I love the learning I’m seeing . Most of all I love the pictures and curriculum and moment of the day and all the parent interaction. My kids and I couldn’t be happier!
