We love the care and education our children receive at the Goddard. It is truly top notch. Things that we love most are the school’s diversity, curriculum, daily reports and pictures via the tadpole app, the activities provided for the kids, and management of running a safe center in the midst of this horrible pandemic. The Goddard Mechanicsville is provides exceptional care. We are very satisfied with Goddard and recommend it’s service to all parents looking for childcare.

Ryker's Mother
Before/After School Program
We love the entire system that is in place. It is hard to pinpoint 1 particular activity. However, we can count on our daughter coming home daily reciting something new she has learned (from Spanish words, colors, to age appropriate mathematics).
