When we initially met her at our tour, we just knew that she was in this field for all the right reasons. Our boys started at the school when it opened, and their teachers have been amazing. Their primary teacher, Miss Katie, has been so loving, and cares about our boys in the most genuine way. They have come so far with her and Miss JaVonne, and we feel so lucky that our boys are in her class. The school director, Molly, has a background in speech therapy, which is so evident in how she has been supporting our children's development. Thank you for giving our boys such a loving and safe transition into preschool! We are forever grateful

Parents beware: if you have joint legal custody with another parent and a court custody order in…read morewriting, this facility will not take that into consideration. Not only will they enroll your child with only one parent's consent and refuse to un-enroll upon receiving information that the other parent requests to not have their child attend, they will not reply to ANY emails senr to the director or corporate office for copies of any paperwork regarding your child. They also have no regard for CDC Covid-19 recommendations- there is only ONE member of a staff ever seen with a mask, and it is normally around her neck. In the morning, all children besides infants/toddlers are in ONE classroom with an incredible disregard for student:teacher ratio based on the age of the yongest child.

After visiting many daycares in the Greater Richmond area, I was (& continue to be) very impressed…read morewith the extremely professional manner in which this Goddard school is run. My son started in the firefighters classroom (older infants) and he really loves his amazing teachers! The teachers here are committed to education; they are very attentive to his mood, his health and are helping him develop new skills every day. I was shocked that (at about 10 months) he actually started using sign language that they were teaching him! My 1 year old is always happy & smiling when I drop him off and pick him up.I highly recommend this Goddard School location. There is no better feeling than knowing your child is comfortable, happy and learning while you are at work all day.

I had the pleasure of working here for 4 1/2 years and could honestly say that this place is pretty top notch between the curriculum and activities that they provide. This location is in Hanover County right behind SJMS and Sherwood Apartments. The Goddard school provides child care and after school programs. Summer Camp is always fun here and your kids will learn a lot. They cater to the needs of all children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age. The staff is always friendly and the owners Kathy and Steve DeNunzio will make you feel welcomed along with the wonderful teachers. I love that being an employee here meant being apart of such a great childcare facility and growing along with the school. The first building is for ages 6 weeks to pre-k and the back building (Kabanda) was for kindergarten as well as after school. There are two playgrounds one for the 2's and under and one for the big kids. Yes, it is on the pricey end of things, but quality is always a good thing. Id recommend checking out The Goddard School if you're interested in childcare.
