My daughter has ben with the Goddard School at Rock Hill since its opening and we My children are currently enrolled in the toddler and preschool classes at the Goddard School in Rock Hill. We have been with Goddard since they opened in January, 2013 and it's one of the best decisions we've made for our kids. The staff is incredibly friendly and dedicated. You walk in and immediately see smiling faces and a true sense of caring and devotion for the kids. I have full trust and faith in the security and safety of the school. They undoubtedly have my children's best interest in mind with all that they do. The classrooms are clean, organized and filled with inspiring messages. When my daughter started she was very shy and timid in new environments and around new people. Within a couple of months I noticed dramatic positive changes in her. It has given our daughter the confidence to be proud of what she does, thinks and contributes each day. The F.L.E.X program at Goddard not only encourages the children to learn, but it helps provide them with life skills they will have forever. The program allows kids to learn in a capacity that is best for them. With each learning opportunity the kids develop through hands-on experiment, verbal teaching or with the choice to watch, listen and learn. My daughter gets excited to go to school and to come home and tell me about the new things she did. The teachers keep us informed of what they are doing so we can bring it home and continue to the curriculum. For me, it was very hard to leave my kids with someone other than family, but I quickly realized Goddard is an extension of our family. They care for the children better than any other daycare or learning center that I have ever experienced. read more

Both my wife and I like the school and my son is always happy to go. When we go to pick him up, he always wants to stay and show me something he learned or did that day. We wanted a preschool rather then a daycare, so our son could learn and be prepared for kindergarten. All the teachers at the Goddard school have degrees and are not just child watchers with no education. Some places seemed small, but not the Goddard school. Children should have room to run around even if it is raining outside. They have a great covered outside area for the kids to play and learn in. Some buildings we saw seemed old and unkept, but not here. The school is very clean and modern. Also, some places just didn't seem to be anything more then child watching, but the Goddard school is a learning environment. We want our son to enjoy preschool and school, and we want him to gain something from the experience, friendships, and knowledge provided at the Goddard school. We know he is going to be better prepared than some of his friends strictly because of the school. Children here can have great experiences and get messy and enjoy life with guidance, learning, and planned activities. Our son has already learned so much from his teachers and classmates. He is also experiencing all of the fun of being a child with the organization and planned activities that help him socially interact. The Goddard school is a great place to send your child. I highly recommend it! read more

I honestly cannot say anything bad about this place. I've had both my children here for overall 2 years. This is not your standard run-of-the-mill daycare. The place is clean, cozy, warm and inviting. My children have a great time, learn new things daily, and never have negative things to say and are excited to attend every day. Their teachers behave professionally but are still friendly and nurturing. Love it. I drive 15 mins to get there and I must pass 3 others on the way. Yes, it's probably pricier for Rock Hill than most, but you get what you pay for. There is no bickering between the staff and they do not do the shuffle around numbers game throughout the day. I walk out after dropping off my children with a smile on my face that I am able to send them to such a wonderful place every day - and you can't put a price tag on that. read more

The Goddard School in Rock Hill has been an excellent decision for our family. We have an almost 3 year old and a 7 month old that currently attend. Prior to placing our children at the Goddard School, we believed they were in solid, well rounded placements (one went to a local church school and one stayed home). Wow! It has been amazing to see the transformation in both of our children since attending Goddard. Our 3 year old has become more confident and well-spoken; our 7 month old is on a fantastic schedule. Both of our children are engaged throughout the day. We were very hesitant about placing our children in what is traditionally known as daycare. The staff / teachers are hands on, engaging and do so much for the children. You will not be disappointed!! read more

We love the Goddard School! My 19 month old daughter has attended Goddard since they opened in January. Prior to that she was at another well respected facility in the area and we were very pleased with the care she received there, but due to a change in my job wanted to move her. In her three months at the school she has learned to sign many words, everyday when we arrive she smiles, claps, and we can't get inside fast enough, and some afternoons she is having so much fun learning with her friends she gets upset when its time to go home. We thought we had her in the best care possible at the previous school but we could not imagine the level of service and care given by Goddard until we experienced it! I would recommend this school to anyone! read more

Our 21 month old attends The Goddard School. She had always been in the care of family so this was a big step for our family. My daughter absolutely loves The Goddard School. We have seen such a difference in her since she started attending. The teachers and staff are wonderful. Her teacher provides daily sheets on what they have learned daily. This helps us reinforce at home what is being taught at school. The education director and owner are very hands onand involved. We always feel so welcome. We know that they truly care for our daughter. They are always available if we have any questions. The school itself is beautiful as well. It is so comforting to know that she is in a caring and safe school while she is having fun learning. read more

We ADORE the Goddard school in Rock Hill! From the first day our son has made strides socially and developmentally that he never made at his previous school. The secret seems to be in the details. Every staff member has a nice, confident smile on their face greeting your child as a member of the Goddard family. The daily activity sheets, even in the PreK and Junior K rooms, with individually written anecdotes about your child's moment in the day allow you as a parent to actually know about and have a conversation with your child to continue the learning process seamlessly at home. From the environmentally and little-one friendly building to the family friendly staff, every part of the Goddard school or staff is flawless! read more

My daughter has attended the Rock Hill SC Goddard school for only 3 months and I have never seen such a CARING staff, they are wonderful. My daughter has a little sadness in the morning at drop-offs and the teachers there, know how to re-direct her and in minutes she stops crying and starts her lessons. Goddard makes learning fun, my daughter has fun but is learning a lot at the same time The teachers also reinforces those good behaviors for the children, like respect ..... I would recommend Goddard. read more

We have loved our time at the Goddard School! My daughter loves to come home and tell me everything that happened during the day! She loves her teachers and knows that her teachers love her.
