Glen Allen 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 so pleased with our Goddard Glen Allen experience. Our son has attended since he was five months old (currently 3.5) and is thriving. He absolutely loves it and is learning so much. We are grateful to the teachers and staff for their care and support.

  • Miss Krista did a GREAT job on the summer school activities both at Goddard and in the community. Jonah was on the go, and he really enjoyed it. We'll be back next summer!

    Jonah's Mother

    Summer Program

  • Great school. Love the teachers. The kindergarten program is amazing!

    Alexandra & Sophie's Mother

    Kindergarten Classroom

  • I've had very positive experiences with my child's teachers. She even asks for them during non school hours. When she interacts with kids her age that do not attend a school of this caliber, you can definitely tell a difference in her development.

    Zoe's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • I love the daily emails keeping me up to date on what my child is learning. This helps me feel connected as a parent who is not always doing the pick up and drop off. I appreciate the flexibility of the staff at allowing me to keep my daughter for a full day if needed given that she is part time.

    Lauren Alero's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • Jonah talks about what he learns at school. He has good manners and social skills and can use them in new situations w/ different children. It is obvious that the teachers and staff care about my child.

    Preschool Classroom

  • I like the the stimulating environment it provides for my kid. Mostly I love the fact that my daughter loves to go to school every morning.A special thanks to her class teacher for being so supportive and encouraging.

    Ryka 's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • The learning environment for our child is exceptional and she is constantly challenged.

    Emerson's Father

    Toddler Classroom

  • You're doing a great job preparing our kids for their next steps in education. We're both working parents and while the cost is seemingly high, the quality service you provide spans the full spectrum and I think you do a better job in some respects that we could if one of us stayed at home full time. Plus how else can our kids be so well exposed to their peers and other adults for building social skills?

    Peter & Chryssi's Father

    Kindergarten Classroom

  • I like the well-organized curriculum. My daughter gets exposure to a variety of tools that give her an opportunity to learn in a fun environment.

    Charlotte's Mother

    Infant Classroom

  • Great staff that really cares about the children in their care. I also like the fact that many of the staff members have been at the school for quite some time.

    Kaitlyn's Mother

    Before/After School Program

  • Staff are great, kids love them, you do a great job preparing the kids for public school

    Peter & Chryssi's Father
