My son soared in development and speaking. Noticeable changes in his confidence and ability to talk with other kids. School is safe and secure and makes you feel confident that your child is well take care of.

The Goddard School is an amazing school. The staff does such an awesome job, the teacher are incredible. My daughter gets up everyday so excited for school. She is learning so much in the TK classroom. I could not recommend this school more!

Goddard is very engaged with our daughter. Transitioning into daycare is never easy and they assisted us with this transition for us and for our daughter. They have a great schedule with different activities and themed days to make the school days fun! The teachers are great and attentive. The owner is also very engaged with all the families and her business! Sometimes it feels las if my daughter is their only priority when I know they do this for all the children, but it seems as if my child is the only one in their care! Very pleased thus far.

We’ve only been at Goddard for about two months but so far it has been going really well! We’ve left three other daycares in the area and felt like we would never find the right one for us.Something we love is how calm, clean, and organized it feels. I love the separation of the classrooms and the adorable sea life names. I feel like my kids are safe when I drop off. The entry way is super secure and requires multiple steps to enter the building. The teachers acknowledge us when we enter and I feel like my child will remain in that classroom after I leave (felt unsafe in the chaos at a previous daycare and worried about my child trying to follow me out, unnoticed).The teachers are caring and the front staff is very responsive by text!!! It’s hard to wait until the end of the day, but the daily reports are extremely thorough. You get it as soon as you pick up. The staff are also super educated and it shows. They have the perfect amount of “control” over the kids! The curriculum is age appropriate and adorable. We struggled with lack of professionalism at multiple other daycares and lack of experience/control at one also.Overall I am excited to see where this takes us. Hoping our little one stays for years!

My (almost) 3 year old son has been attending Goddard Folsom for 1.5 years now and we recently enrolled our 12 week old. As any parent would understand, it's hard to leave our babies under the care of someone else, but I have the most trust in the child care at Goddard. Both of my children are constantly engaged with well thought out curriculum filled with Spanish, sign language, math, arts and crafts, yoga, you name it-they're doing it. Even my 12 week old is finger painting (amazing)! I can see the growth and learning every day - literally and figuratively - as I love receiving photos of my kids participating in these activities daily. All of the teachers and administrative staff seem to love taking care of my children and treat them with kindness. The peace of mind knowing they're in a caring, safe environment while they're not at home is everything. Thank you Goddard!

My daughter is loving her transition to the Goddard School! She (almost 4) has been there for a few months and we are really impressed with the activities for the kiddos! They really have fun and switch it up with fun guests, special themed days/ activities, and so much to look forward to and be excited about. Our old school was wonderful once she got there but it was hard to get her excited about going to school each day. At Goddard there is so much to look forward to that she really is excited every day! I also love how the teachers treat the kids like family- very loving and caring.

My daughter has attended Goddard for almost 3 years now. Her current teachers are Ms. Lindsey and Ms. Paula whom she loves! They always have fun and engaging activities planned and my daughter has learned SO much thanks to them. They are also available to talk if you have any questions/concerns. We are very happy with the care. Thank you Ms Paula and Ms Lindsay!

We are extremely pleased with Goddard in Folsom. It was very difficult letting someone else care for our child. However Ms. Kaylee and her staff earned our trust. Ms. Kaylee has very high standards. The staff is very professional, caring, thoughtful and responsive to our needs. If you are looking at daycare options, I would strongly recommend giving Goddard a look. We are very proud to be a part of the Goddard family.

We absolutely love Goddard Folsom. This is our second time having our daughter in childcare/school and she's in their toddler program and we absolutely love it. THE SHORT:The main take away if you don't want to read the full review is that this place if full of wonderful staff and my daughter loves it here. As a first time mom with a toddler, caring, safety, cleanliness and teaching curriculum are my top concerns when it comes to school requirements and this school exceeds all of our expectations. THE LONG:Kids are just growing up too fast, and every day is precious. We switched our daughter from her old center because of the lack of curriculum/consistency, incompetence, turn-over with staff, and strong concerns over her food allergy and the lack of health and safety protocols in place at the former school. The staff at Goddard School is incredibly warm and welcoming. I initially did a tour with the owner Ms. Kaylee, and she is nothing less than amazing. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She's very clear, knowledgeable, understanding, fair, and personable. She is quick to reply and answer my millions of questions throughout the month, and my daughter always looks forward to seeing her! Goddard's Directors; Heather and Kat, and my daughter's FABULOUS teacher, Ms. Lisa.....are also nothing short of amazing! My daughter is in the toddle program with Ms. Lisa and she absolutely adores her teacher -- as do we!! My daughter tells us all about her day, what she's learned, and how much fun she has after each day - and she is only TWO! The staff here really cares and goes above and beyond. After a few days of being at this new school the entire staff was greeting my child upon arrival and departure - staff that weren't even with her all day or that I was just meeting. This might seem like a random point but it's wonderful to know that everyone there knows all the kids that are there. (Plus this extra gesture definitely makes my child feel seen and loved). It's very apparent to me that they make every effort to help children grow, learn, and to have fun doing it. The classrooms are quite large and open, compared to others we've seen, so its' a great place for kids to roam. Like most centers, there are daily activities with arts and crafts, story time, outdoor physical activities, concepts being taught (many nature themed) and I feel very fortunate to have come across this school. This school came as a recommendation from my neighbor/friend (who also raved about all of the school and its staff) - not to mention their added pictures and notes throughout the day are an added bonus!If you can get a spot at Goddard Folsom - take it!!

Goddard Teachers in Folsom are wonderful people who make leaving your child at daycare less stressful. Every day, our child leaves for school full of enthusiasm and returns home with new knowledge, words, songs, and tricks. When she's there, I don't ever worry about her. I'm glad because I know she's happy and learning. What else exist? Goddard, go!
