Love this school. All three of our children have or are attending Goddard. It is a great environment of learning and fun. So many activities and events that our kids love. Many of the teachers go above and beyond to connect with our children. Great preparation for kindergarden.

We’ve had a fantastic experience with teachers and staff at Goddard in Berry Farms.

I had worked there for almost 4 years! I loved this school. The owner Mark and the Director Tonya are such awesome bosses! They treated employees as family and always support you to make decisions for the best of your family. They are very supportive and generous and most and not the last they are very appreciative for hard-working teachers. They are very good at communicating with parents! I was very impressed that Mark remembers all the kids names! He jokes with kids all the time. It is the best place to work and safe place for kids! Great curriculum for kids to learn read and write prior to Kindergarten!

They are the best. Great teachers and management team. My kid has been there for over a year now and I've seen new development in our child weekly, no accident report yet (knock on wood). I feel that my kid will be safe there dropping them off in the morning. Thank you.

Today we graduate from The Goddard School in Berry Farms after three years with them, it's a bittersweet day. When we met the faculty at The Goddard School, we were at a crossroads and needing some help. Our little guy needed structure, consistency, and engagement that he just wasn't getting at home. He wasn't great at communicating, struggled with impulse control and was really easily distracted. They made a place for him and have been more wingmen than daycare ever since. Our now bubbly, chatty, happy kindergartner is headed onto new things that I know are possible because The Goddard School teachers and leadership partnered with us, very patiently I should add. When he struggled, they had awkward conversations with us in the most candid yet gentle ways possible, always asking us about our own insights and what suggestions we had. The mother's day out programs we had been to prior to this point lacked the patience and expertise to help kids who weren't didn't perform at the center of the bell curve. When he progressed and made huge strides, they shared the wins and celebrated with us. They've poured heart and soul into this kid for three years, even when it was hard. Parenting is tough, having people like this in your corner helps ease the struggle a bit. Tonya, Mark, Michele, and Ashlyn- you guys are top notch. Thank you for everything you do for these kiddos. You'll be missed!

I waited to post anything to make sure the issue wasn't with my daughter. My 4-year-old attended Goddard Berry Farm in the pre-school room during September 2018. At first, she showed normal signs of dislike, but we hung in there and tried everything to get her comfortable. Unfortunately, it got worse with each day. I noticed how the teacher wasn’t very sweet/loving towards any of the children. One day during drop off, I watched her look at another crying child and turn around and walked away. Most days I would pick her up and her pants were wet. I asked my child why she didn’t go to the potty and she said the teacher wouldn’t allow her to get up during nap. I notified the front office and they assured me they were working with the teacher. Since my child refused to enter the school anymore I had to leave. The school offered no compensation and we had to pay for 2 weeks we didn’t attend. We are now at a new school and she absolutely loves it! She hasn’t cried once. I’m giving 1 star because the front desk staff was very nice and the school was very clean.

This school is AWESOME! I want to clarify that it is a school, this is not a daycare that is warehousing your child, so your child is going to be engaged – but it is centered around learning is fun. Our daughter has learn so much since joining Goddard, and looks forward to her visits. The building is beautiful and well laid out with individual classrooms, easy access, great security and outdoor safe play area for the kids. The staff are so warm and caring from the owner Mark, the director Dawn to her teachers Lauren and Erin– they show it every day how much they care for these kids – and I don’t want to leave out the other teachers who assist and greet you every time you enter the building, even if they are not your child’s teacher. As parents, one of our favorite things is to receive the daily electronic activity report of everything they did during the day as well as pictures – which we can download and keep. We are so happy that we made the choice to enroll her in this school, they have exceeded our expectations.
