We are new to the Goddard School and have loved the experience so far. The staff and teachers are very friendly and provide great communication. The school is clean and secure which provides a very safe and enjoyable environment. Our son loves going to school here and we couldn't be happier!

Fantastic school that has provided an amazing learning experience for my daughter. We were dreading moving her to a new school last year when we moved to Washington. To our surprise, she felt settled at Goddard from day one and loved every minute of it.

We are so thankful to have found Goddard School (Redmond Ridge) The staff are all welcoming and kind. It is so nice when our daughter is excited at drop off to play with her friends. And the music class they provide is our daughter's favorite?

We are truly luck to have found The Goddard of Redmond Ridge after leaving a neighboring daycare facility. Both our girls have had a wonderful experience as have we as parents. We truly appreciate Shauna and her team. Keep up the great work!

We have loved our last year at Goddard! The staff is amazing and super attentive to the kids. The classrooms are always clean and communication is great. The transition to preschool was rough but now our LO loves it.

Fantastic school, superb teachers. We’re moving away from Redmond, and Goddard school is probably one of the top 3 things we’ll miss about the state.

My husband, daughter (18 months) and I spent everyday day together at home (with both of us trying to work full time) from the beginning of the pandemic until January when she started attending The Goddard School. This felt like a difficult decision to make at the time, but it has been the absolute best decision! Everyone at The Goddard School was so helpful with making my daughter’s transition from being at home to going to school Mon - Fri successful. They were kind and understanding. They went out of their way to help us all get adjusted. After a couple of weeks of my daughter feeling unsure and tentative at drop off - now she claps and cheers when we turn into the parking lot, runs to the front door, runs right down the hallway and into her classroom! Her teachers are so knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring. Everyday my daughter is engaging in fun, developmentally appropriate activities with her teachers and classmates. We’re so, so happy to be part of The Goddard School of Redmond Ridge Community!

Redmond Ridge Goddard school is an excellent place for kids; the administration and staff are great and reliable. They all know us and our kids which is an incredibly personal touch. Plus, the attention to detail for daily notes and photos to show how our kids are getting play time and education time is precious as a parent.As our family has grown, and considering the global pandemic, sending our kids back to daycare was a tough decision and we had considered lots of options including in-home nanny. We are so happy and comforted they are at Goddard knowing we are all in loving and capable hands.

I don't really leave reviews that much, but this one is closer to my heart since it effected me at a deeper level.My youngest son attended the Goddard preschool in Redmond Ridge when he was 2 1/2 to 3 1/2.Even though the school staff was gracious enough and the school itself very clean and organized, the teaching methods they use just are not good for everyone. My son was and still is an opinionated one and also super curious and interested in leaning ad much as he can. Long story short, he got BORED of the daily schedule, made of timed stations rotation and "sleeping rules" and way too long quiet time. That said, having too much young teachers (yes, he changed two of them during a year) didn't help. What happened was that the school's management decided it was a good idea to call kindering experts to have him evaluated for I'm not sure what. But fine, we accepted. And nothing at all was wrong with him.We decided to switch him to a Montessori school. And it turned out that by age 4 1/4 he was reading as a 1 grader level, he was learning about the world geography, he knew all the USA states and could do basic math.Now he's a first grader and he's enrolling in the highly capable program.So, parents, research a bit longer before choosing a preschool for your kid, make sure it will be an awesome experience for him/her and for you as well.Good luck!

This place is absolutely amazing! We started going to Goddard at Redmond Ridge when my daughter was around 6 months old and she's now almost 2. Every teacher, every staff member is so kind, caring, friendly and understanding. We've really connected with everyone and my daughter has such an amazing bond with her teachers. This to me is priceless. On top of wonderful people, the curriculum and activities are so good for her! She learned sign language, foundational concepts like sharing, saying please and thank you, and fun things like painting and music! They've handled the Covid-19 crisis like pros and we feel very comfortable with the extra measures they take to make sure everyone stays healthy. You really can't find a better place than here.

Goddard has always been flexible and innovative but has definitely stepped up the game since the pandemic. They continuously problem solve, adapt and create in order to ensure that the children are experiencing the supportive learning environment that is so crucial during this age. The teachers are kind, warm, engaging and meet your children where they are while encouraging to take on new learning challenges.

Like many first time parents, when it came time to look for a preschool for my daughter a part of me was dreading the thought of having to leave my child with a total stranger. However after our first visit and tour of the school I knew this was the place I wanted my daughter to be. I could see how kind and respectful the teachers were with all of the kids, and the play based learning model that Goddard teaches felt very familiar to the Montessori education I had grown up with, and was something I knew I wanted for my child.When school started my daughters teachers were so welcoming and made the whole transition so relaxed for both of us. It wasn’t long before she had no fear about mom leaving and she was so excited to go join her class each morning. My daughter has really thrived at Goddard, not just academically, but more importantly socially and emotionally. I think the time we have spent here will be invaluable to her in her transition to kindergarten.I’m very grateful that our family found the Redmond Ridge Goddard School location. Ms. Shauna and her team provide such a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment, and they really go above and beyond to make each child (and family) feel special. As a parent it’s everything you could hope for in a school, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with our experience here.

We started my son at Goddard in Redmond Ridge when he was around 8 months and we've had an absolutely amazing experience. Just like most new moms, I was very nervous leaving my baby and going back to work but the Goddard staff made us so comfortable from the beginning by providing kind, supportive, educated communication.The owner, Shauna, and the entire administrative staff are fantastic. Very hands on and with great communication, always open to answering questions and providing updates. The teachers in the infant class are caring, loving and provide a safe environment for babies to grow and explore. My son moved from the infants to toddler room a few months ago and the teachers in toddler class (Squirrels) are just as amazing. They do such a great job of taking care of the kids, teaching them, making connection with them and making sure they have fun.We were amazed when my son started doing sign language to communicate and it seems like he is learning something new everyday. He loves going to school and he loves his teachers, and enjoys the wide range of activities specially music class and going out.It has been an incredible journey for us to see him grow and learn new things and we owe it to the fantastic team at Goddard. We highly recommend The Goddard at Redmond Ridge to anyone looking for a safe and caring daycare and school with high standards.

Goddard School of Redmond Ridge has been such a blessing for us. In the past I stressed about leaving my child in someone else's care, but now that we found Goddard I don't feel worried at all. My daughter is always happy when I pick her up. The staff is so sweet and it feels like one big family. I will miss this school so much when my daughter moves to kindergarten!
