It is a special place, and the value for the quality of care and education is truly hard to beat.

Many of the staff and teachers have been here for over seven years, which speaks volumes about the culture, stability, and commitment to education. Their longevity shows in how genuinely they invest in students and families. The teachers truly care, and it's clear they take the time to know each child individually -- their strengths, challenges, and personalities. That personal attention makes a meaningful difference in both academic growth and emotional development. There is a strong sense of community that makes both parents and children feel supported, valued, and connected. As a mother of three children enrolled at this school, I can honestly say there is nothing more rewarding than seeing your kids happy, confident, and well taken care of when you are not around. Knowing they are in an environment where they are safe, respected, and encouraged gives me complete peace of mind. The environment is welcoming, structured, and focused on helping every child succeed. Communication is thoughtful, leadership is present, and expectations are clear, which creates a calm and productive place to learn. Most importantly, the children are safe. The school prioritizes security, well-being, and emotional development just as much as academics. This is a place where students are not only educated, but truly cared for. I highly recommend this school to any family looking for excellence, stability, and a nurturing community.

My son is currently in 3rd grade with a great group of students and I am so grateful to know he'll be alongside them for several more years.

Ms. Viviana is kind, patient and really worked with my daughter to increase her social skills. The director of the school, Ms. Maha, has been such a pleasure to deal with. She takes the time out of her day to answer any question(s) that may arise. I've never felt so confident in a head of school before. We've attended two other Montessori schools prior to Fulbright and I can finally say that my kids have found their favorite school!

My daughter enjoyed coming here. She had a great group of kids she loved to play with, and it was…read moreencouraging to see her make friends where we sent her. My son was miserable. He hated being dropped off and would show an urgency anytime I came to pick him up. This wasn't his first experience with daycare either. At his previous school, he never had an issue with being dropped off. A large part of my frustration with this school and our experience is that many of the staff don't seem well equipped to work with kids or know how to manage age-appropriate behaviors. The school's app allows you to see video footage of your kids throughout the day, and I saw one of the older teachers (Teacher Juielta) in my sons class yank a toddler by the arm. I witnessed that same teacher grab a kid by the face and yell at him. If I'm watching this happen to other kids, using the system they encourage parents to use, it was most likely happening to my son too. From what I gathered from parents who still take their kids there, that teacher is still working in that classroom. This kind of behavior towards toddlers is unacceptable. I couldn't keep my son in that classroom as I watched his peers get manhandled by an older teacher. There was also an very explicit tension between some of the staff that was unprofessional and inappropriate. It was common to hear and witness staff yelling at each other over their walkie-talkies, staff who would blatantly ignores questions or requests from other staff, and at one point an argument occurred in front of kids that forced me and some other parents to bring it up to leadership. We only attended the school for 3 months and we fortunately were able to take our kids somewhere else! I would give this a 1 out of 5 staffs but there were a couple of positive things about the school that I just couldn't ignore. Pros: the kids and families we met; Teachers Jo and JoJo were great to partner with when working with my kids. Cons: accountability for complaints of staff, immature interactions between staff in front of kids, and abusive behaviors towards toddlers.

Ms. Athinia and Ms. Gabby are great and quick with communications or requests. We felt like we were heard and they truly care for our daughter's wellbeing. She has truly loved her teachers -- Ms. Royce, Ms. Rekha, Ms. Patty, and Ms. Madi -- who have been so caring, patient, and kind. You can tell they really love what they do, and it shows in how happy and comfortable my daughter has been here. We're only leaving because we're moving, and the commute would be too far. This place has set the standard for what a daycare should be, and we can only hope our new one will be just as wonderful.

Goddard is a wonderful preschool for your littles, from when they are tiny tots until they are…read moreready for kindergarten. The admin staff are warm, kind and welcoming. Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Lana and Ms. Delmy know all the children's names and take the time to really interact with the kids as well as the parents. The teachers treat the children with such love and care, and they also give attention and communicate well with parents. Daily reports are shared along with photos so parents can stay in the know about their child's day to day. Parent teacher conferences are useful as teachers share the progression of work when it comes to academics. There are also tons of wonderful activities brought to Goddard like basketball camp, reptile day, water/foam day (for summer time) plus visits from professions that teach about music and the importance of brushing your teeth. I love the fact that everything is onsite so your children never need to leave the school (compared to public school/elementary school). The facility is clean and bright, and the seasonal decor on classroom doors are fun to look at (designed by teachers that sometimes include the children's faces). Kids come home with art projects, drawings and some academic work (letters and numbers for their appropriate ages). AM and PM snacks are now provided (lunch must be brought and labeled with names and dates). That was nice because we had to bring in our own snacks during Covid and for a long while after Covid. Goddard is a great preschool and I highly recommend it. As a note, they do have a mandatory rest period from 12:30pm - 3pm and most kids nap. They turn down the classroom lights, play calm music and have the kids lie down on cots with blankets. If you don't want your kids napping, this can be problematic. I've had conversations with the teachers and Ms. Parina (the owner) about securing more staff to allow non-napping kids to have other things to do (ie quiet activities like coloring) but no solution was ever reached during my 3 years there. I've heard pricing for babies is pretty high and babies are required to come in 5 days a week vs part time. I saw prices rise a few times during my time there as well. That said, you get what you pay for, and I believe Goddard has set the bar pretty high. I'm very pleased with the education my kids have received (heartfelt thank you to Ms. Vivian and Ms. Chetana) and I wish public school was as excellent when it came to the level of service and care we've seen at Goddard.

do not recommend this school based on our family's experience. Unfortunately, we experienced…read moreongoing stress due to the school's administration and management. Communication was often difficult, and we did not feel supported when concerns about our son were raised. One of the biggest issues was the constant turnover of teachers in my son's classroom. During our time at the school, his class had multiple teachers, making it difficult for the children to build stable relationships and adjust to a consistent learning environment. Several staff members expressed concerns about the work environment, which was disappointing to us. The administration/ specially director did not demonstrate the level of knowledge or expertise in child development and child psychology that I expected from a leadership team responsible for young children ( I even heard this from teachers). Rather than working with families to understand children's behaviors and support their growth, I often felt that the focus was on discipline instead of teaching and guiding children through age-appropriate challenges. Young children need patience, consistency, and positive guidance to learn appropriate behaviors. Unfortunately, I did not feel that the management took that approach, and I believe my kid would have benefited from more understanding and support. It was my impression that families who gave gifts or maintained a closer relationship with the administration received more favorable treatment. As a result, I felt our kids did not receive the same level of support!!!!! Last but not least Please consider that very serious Goddard director talks about "fairness " however she treat parents differently when they give her expensive gifts? I've heard this from several parents who warned us, but unfortunately we didn't listen.
