Our son is enrolled in the infant classroom at The Goddard School, and absolutely loves it! He gets the biggest smile on his face when we drop him off in the morning and seems so happy and taken care of when he is picked up at the end of the day. Ms. Anastasia and her team really go above and beyond, and are nothing short of amazing at what they do! As a first time parent, they made transitioning to daycare so smooth and seamless. We love them and can't thank them enough for all their daily love and support! read more

My son attended this Goddard School for over a year, but he has moved to a different school. Overall, while there are some good individual teachers at this school, the administration is a nightmare. The owner, in particular, seems to prioritize money over the best interests of the kids. The lack of professionalism from the owner and the administrative staff is a real issue--many months they wouldn't even have basic things like calendars available, or their communications would be inconsistent. One time they sent out an email about having a "desert bar" ... and had it spelled that way multiple times, so it wasn't just a typo. Is that who you want responsible for educating your child? Aside from all that, our son was diagnosed with some speech and socialization delays during his time at this school and entered Early Intervention. Both of his EI teachers visited his school and told us for his personal needs and learning challenges, the environment at this school wasn't right. Once we found a new school that felt like a better fit, we wanted to move our son right away, but the owner refused to let us leave without requiring dues to cover the full 30 days written notice, despite the fact that the enrollment agreement allows them to waive fees and let a student go if it is in their best interests (and we had a verbal conversation about it over 30 days before we left). For comparison, the school he moved to would have let him attend a few weeks for free just to help us do what was best for him. I wasn't surprised at all to see some other reviews on Greatschools.com that similarly echoed our experience--teachers are mostly good, but the owner/admin staff is not. And with the high level of staff turnover at these type of schools, you are relying on the owner to continually hire good people and hold them to a high standard. I would not trust the owner of this school to actually do that, at all. Basically, I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. If your kid is a follower and fits in to a crowd, they'd probably do fine here, but you can find better. If your kid is at all unique like mine, this school has been generally unsupportive and not helpful, especially compared to his new school where the teachers and administrative staff have really gone out of their way to figure out ways to help keep our son engaged and included (that he has really responded to). read more

Despite the other reviews, I am very pleased with the Goddard School. All of the teachers and administrative staff are beyond amazing. This place is far more than a daycare center. I am happy and excited dropping my daughter off everyday knowing she is in the care of educated and professional individuals. My daughter is excited to go to school every morning. She comes home sharing something new she learned every day. The best child care around. I give glowing referrals to all my friends and relatives. read more

Our son has had an amazing experience at The Goddard School on Swamp Rd., Doylestown. Every teacher from Get-set through kindergarten has been nurturing and facilitated a loving and safe environment. The growth socially and educationally that he's experienced year after year is phenomenal. Our son is quite bright and he has been continually challenged to learn more through programs like STEAM and SSR, but because he's having so much fun with Art, Yoga, music, Spanish class, etc. he's always excited for his school day. We will miss Lisa, Chantel, Stephanie, and the incredible staff as he moves into first grade in CBSD this year. Highly recommend this school for your little person!

I had high hopes for this school but have been extremely disappointed. Over the course of a month, I called about 7 times asking about new enrollment, was able to get through to the enrollment owner once, and received zero call backs. All I wanted was to be put on a waiting list. If they treat potential customers like this, I don't want to know how they treat the actual parents. They have completely lost my trust. read more

Amazing staff....Amazing academic program.....Amazing extracurricular activity program....Amazing summer camp.....need I say more?! Definitely well worth a visit! read more

We have had our two children at the Goddard for almost three years now and we have had a great experience there. Our 4yo is mastering sight words and has word recognition up to about 30 words. This is due in large part to the effort the teachers at Goddard give on a daily basis. Aside from reading and mathematics the Goddard exposes their students to creative projects and i've witnessed both of my children not only enjoy creating new 'works of art' but also become more and more independent in doing so. The teachers at Goddard also created an environment that facilitated both of my children to become potty trained between their 2nd and 3rd birthday. This may not seem like a big deal, but my kids were resistant at first (primarily at home) but the effort the teachers at Goddard put in made this a painless transition for us. I would highly recommend this school! read more

Now that my child has left the school and I am truly able the write an accurate review on this school my opinion clearly has changed tremendously! I came to this school I went agents what I was told by friends, family, and people in the community from the cb school district to continue to search more for a daycare. That this location in particular was not a great place. I hope beings that at the time a family friend had worked there and once my child would reach their room things would be great. I was wrong. Since the beginning I was constantly asking classroom leaders to please send my child hime close to the way she waa dropped off in. Knowing kids will be kids and play dirt is to be expected but there were two time in particular my child was allowed to literally roll in dirt and play in defrosting snow puddles. My child has asthma and upper respiratory issues! She even though teachers were provided with art smocks would continually send my child home with clothing that after being treated with stain removers needed to be replaced. Also was sent home at times on a weekly basis prior to be g potty trained with a diaper that had nor even changed and was down between her knees or just put on correct and she waa then on rides hime peeing all over herself or wet all the way through by the time we reach home. I talked to the assistant director at the time, Mrs Kathy, and even the director Lisa. The assistant director and Mrs Kathy could agree with me more in regards to complaints and concerns. Lisa on the other hand...i saw what everyone warned me about! Rude, condescending, spoke to me as if I was beneath her, and just plain and simple lacked customer service skills. I stuck it out and gave it until my child was moved up to Mrs kathy' s room where I had hoped it would get better and where I wanted her to be since she knew my family. I did not get better and I am just appalled at the treatment my child received and the way the situation was handled. I asked Mrs kathy of please once again could an art smock be placed on my child art art time because I can not keep replace g clothes that are getting ruined. I was told by Mrs kathy that " i have 12 students and sometimes I forget". Unfortunately when caring for others children you can not forget. What of this was a food allergy. Which my child has also. I asked her to just put the smock on her please and left for work. Upon returning to pick up my child that day i found her sweaty, overheated, and red in the face wearing her art smock that is nylon. When ask the assistant teacher what was this she expressed to me that she was given strict orders by Miss Kathy to leave the smock on her all day and to not take it off for any circumstances at all. I grabbed my child's things and we left. I fought back tears leaving. I made it to the front door to leave and there was Lisa. She asked why her smock was on and told her whay i was told. She called the assistant teacher out of the room and told Lisa the same. Lisa and I had a frank discussion on this situation. Lisa was upset by it or at least it seemed but the next day between her and Mrs Kathy came up with a lie blaming the classroom assistant teacher. That right there i knew even more Lisa as well as others were out for themselves and not for the children. I spoke also with assistant teacher whom was not at fault. She was extremely mature and sincere about how she she should of just took the smock off. She did not feel right leaving it on but she listened to higher up. Again this situation was it. How does a director of a daycare not know what goes on in her school. She is there on a regular basis so there is no excuse. How are adults going to treat kids like that. And if you have problem talk to me about it. Do not be spiteful and take it out on my child. I am happy my daughter is out of that school and away from the neglectful and careless attitudes and rude behavior of Lisa and some of her staff. read more

We've had our son at the Goddard School in Doylestown for 3 years now and have been very pleased. The teachers and assistants at the school are wonderful and our son has really thrived. Miss Cathy and Miss Mina especially are wonderful! read more

Great school!! Phenomenal teacher! My daughter was one of Ms. Cathy's students and she had a wonderful experience. I've observed both Ms.Cathy (actually with a C not a K) and her assistant and they were extremely professional, loving, attentive, nurturing and they care about the well being of each child in their care. My daughter learned so much and was extremely excited to go to school every day. My daughter had a fun learning experience everyday and it's all because of her wonderful teachers. I love Ms.Cathy and I would recommend her class to anyone. My daughter will be going to Preschool and I am super excited to see what Ms.Mina has in store for her. It's probably not a good idea to be rude and obnoxious to the same people who care for our kids. As parents we should appreciate the educators who care for our kids on a daily basis and if my kid comes home with paint, pudding or whatever on her clothes great!! That tells me she had a great day exploring! I have a wash machine!! Great School! Wonderful Owner! Phenomenal Teachers! Love it! read more
