The Goddard School of Reading

Our kids have been at the Goddard School since they were both 6 months, respectively and have been thriving ever since. The teachers and directors feel like our family.

Our family is so grateful for The Goddard School years for each of our two boys...thank you!! Our elder son is thriving in elementary school both academically and socially after completing two years at Goddard, during the onset and height of COVID no less. Kudos to Goddard on navigating those murky waters; we know it wasn't easy. They clearly have a knack for operations. Our younger son completed his two years recently and is certainly ready to take on Kindergarten. Our little guy is a bit more reserved socially but we have seen so much growth in him over the last year in particular, with much credit due to The Goddard School's methods and wonderful staff. The curriculum is fantastic with an emphasis on STEAM Education. We always appreciated the daily email summarizing the day's agenda accompanied by a photo of our boys performing one of the learning activities. We really valued knowing our children were not just going to a daycare-type facility but rather attending school in an actual classroom learning environment. The school building and grounds are also impressive - clean, well maintained and secure. The administration, faculty and staff are excellent. We always felt comfortable leaving our children in their care. Thank you to all who had a hand in guiding our boys over the years and helping to instill in them a confident but kind and well-adjusted attitude. Sincerely, The Brown Family

The Goddard School in Reading has been great experience for my family. The teachers are highly competent and created a nurturing environment for my daughter. She always looked forward to go school and always talked so fondly of Miss Annie, Miss Pam and Miss Eliza. My daughter has made great friends here, which has been a fantastic social experience for her. Sarah and other admin staff are wonderful as well, very responsive and friendly. The classrooms are big and bright and they are well-equipped with all the necessary resources for a quality education. Parking has never been an issue, which adds to the convenience. And the school's playground is spacious and well-maintained, allowing kids to enjoy outdoor activities safely. My daughter has now transitioned to kindergarten and it has been smooth. I wanted to thank Goddard for the wonderful years that my daughter spent there.

If you're thinking of sending your child to Goddard, don't hesitate -- sign up! My kids learned so much during their time here -- from the planets to geography to writing to music to so much more! -- and had a lot of fun while doing so. They also learned about celebrations from different cultures, like Kwanzaa, Lunar New Year, and Hanukkah. They especially loved special days like Pizza & Pajama days, Kona Ice days, Bike days, and Kickstart. They also told me that community members (e.g., librarian, police officer, dentist) would visit their classroom and tell them all about their work. My kids would light up even when just seeing the building whenever we drive by. "That's my school!" they would exclaim with excitement and pride. That's how much they loved Goddard. The staff here is top notch, and they genuinely care about the children and families. They also take everyone's health and safety very seriously, which we appreciated even before but more so during the pandemic. Again, do not hesitate! It's so bittersweet that our time at Goddard has come to an end, but I'm happy that my children made so many wonderful memories there that they will cherish for years to come.
