Midlothian (Walton Park) 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 at the Goddard at Walton park for over 6 years with 2 kiddos and cannot say enough wonderful things about the care they have received there. The team is organized, prioritizes safety, but somehow manages to also cultivate the most loving and inclusive environment. I have full confidence that my kids are not only safe and learning, but they are being nurtured and loved. I consider myself so lucky to be part of the Goddard family!

    Emma & Nolan's Mother

    Pre-K Classroom

  • Since we have switched from a previous daycare we have seen an excitement in our son to go to school. He loves the engagement and activities to keep his busy mind, well, busy! The staff has been great with keeping us informed and overall more involved with our son’s day to day schooling and I feel as a parent more confident that he’s at the right place.

    Jackson's Mother

    Pre-K Classroom

  • Over the past four years and two children enrolled at The Goddard School, I’ve watched each of my girls grow and thrive at school. From the infant room to Pre-K the teachers are caring, attentive, and strive to give the kids in their care the best experience and education possible.

    Lenny & Lottie's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • I would recommend Goddard Walton Park to all of my friends and family. There are many reasons, but the biggest reason is the people. The teachers and staff are spectacular. They have created such a supportive and kind culture. In addition, they demonstrate care and compassion to children and parents alike.

    Everly & Quinn & Owen's Father

    Infant Classroom

  • Clean, safe, friendly, and welcoming environment. Amazing and accommodating staff. Set up well for enrichment and self-discovery across different age ranges and stages of development.

    Lyla's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • We've had our children at Goddard since they were 8 weeks old (and they are now in elementary school). I have never had any hesitation leaving my children with the staff because they treat my kids like they are their own. From the teachers to the administrative staff, they are all supportive and loving of both my kids and of us.

    Ella & Graham's Mother

    Before/After School Program

  • Our son’s teachers have been fantastic since he started roughly a year ago. Each classroom has helped foster his development and social skills. Each individual from the administration down has been warm and welcoming, very easy to work with when scheduling any out of school needs for appointments, etc and they have shown a great deal of care for our son on at an individual level.

    Archie's Father

    Toddler Classroom

  • Our school feels like home. The teachers are loving, caring, and perfectly suited to be educators. The administration truly feels like family and we couldn’t be happier to have our kids attend this school.

    Campbell & Sutton's Mother

    Infant Classroom

  • Another year at the Goddard School is another year of us feeling so confident in our decision. Every step of the way, and as our daughter has moved through different classes, we think we couldn't love her new teacher(s) as much as the last but are surprised every time. The teachers and administration are just incredible and we couldn't be happier to be a Goddard family.

    Nora's Father

    Preschool Classroom

  • Fun, safe, and engaged learning environment that challenges the kids to reach their full potential at a young age. Positive social interaction, involved and outgoing teachers, plus helpful communication from parent to teacher. Very satisfied with our experience at Goddard School of Walton Park.

    Brayden's Father

    Toddler Classroom

  • The facility is always clean, teachers and management really care for our children and listen to our concerns. I trust them so much with my child.

    Charlotte's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • We’ve been going to Goddard for 7 years and we love how it feels like family! Our kids love going and really enjoy the lessons and activities.

    Shelby & Chase's Mother

    Before/After School Program

  • It’s a very clean and positive atmosphere. I also love the staff. I love the fact when we drop our daughter off and she’s in safe, loving hands it really eases my mama heart. I also enjoy that they have lesson plans everyday for the kids and not just “babysitting” them. I definitely recommend the Goddard school to other parents!
