The Goddard School of Columbia is a shining example of what early childhood education should be. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can see and feel the incredible leadership that is present. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about each and every child that walks through their doors.The cirriculum is stimulating. My children are provided with a well-rounded education that goes beyond just the basics of reading and math. They are exposed to a variety of subjects, from science and art to physical education and music. Our kids love telling us about all the fun and educational things they do everyday.But what sets The Goddard School of Columbia apart is the staff. The teachers and administrators go above and beyond to make sure that each child feels loved, supported, and valued. They take the time to get to know each child as an individual and tailor their approach to meet the needs of each student. It is clear that the staff at The Goddard School are passionate about what they do and truly care about the well-being and success of their students.I highly recommend The Goddard School of Columbia. It is a fantastic place for young children to learn and grow. The leadership is strong, the curriculum is stimulating, and the staff genuinely cares about all of the kids. If you are looking for a preschool that will provide your child with a high-quality education in a nurturing and supportive environment, this is the place!

We are very happy with our experience at the Goddard. My 3 year old loves going- her day is filled with play, enriching activities, and I’ve seen so much academic growth as well. The staff is fantastic- I know my daughter is safe and loved.She has needed some support with her speech and articulation- her teachers and the leadership team have been very accommodating and supportive of our goals and the extra services she has needed. We highly recommend this school and will be sending our 2nd child there as well.

Both my kids went to Goddard, and I can’t recommend them enough. Such a good pre-school, my kids loved going there. Their space is great, very clean and neat. They post pictures of the kids throughout the day, which i think is amazing. The teachers, the staff and the owners are great people and they definitely love working with children. Can’t wait for my little one to go there next year.

The Goddard School of Columbia is an incredible learning center that lays an incredible foundation for children on their academic journey. They treat each child like they are their own and the owners (Jim and Lynn) have fostered a community of compassion, caring and learning. I cannot recommend this school enough and my only complaint is that they don't have K-12 classes.

Lynn and Jim really with with the parents to keep a reasonable schedule. They also really seem to care about the kids and staff. Would send my kids to this Goddard over others and over other similar schools.

I love the Goddard School of Columbia. The teachers really enjoy working with the students. My daughter has attended the school since she was an infant. I love her being able to grow and learn in a safe consistent environment. The entire staff from the teachers, directors, and owners are involved and know the children. I especially love events they plan for the children during the day, and activities for parents to be involved in the school. I toured and looked at other schools in the area before choosing Goddard and I have never felt the need to re-evaluate or look at other programs in our area.

We've had the privilege of having both of our daughters attend The Goddard School for the past five years, and I can't emphasize enough what a fantastic experience it has been for our family. From the moment we walked through the doors, it was evident that this is no ordinary childcare facility; it's a place where children truly flourish, and we couldn't be happier with the owners and teachers who have made it all possible.The owners Lynn and Jim, are nothing short of amazing. They've created an environment that radiates warmth, love, and commitment to every child's well-being. Their dedication to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment is truly exceptional.If you're searching for a place where your child will not only receive a top-notch education but also experience genuine care and love, The Goddard School is the answer. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our daughters to spend these critical formative years. Thank you to the incredible owners and teachers for making The Goddard School an extraordinary place for children. We wholeheartedly recommend it to any parents seeking the best for their little ones. Five stars are not enough to express our gratitude and admiration!

We love this preschool. The teachers are very nice, we get pictures of our son every day so we get to see what he does in class. They have tons of fun activities throughout the year (especially the summer months), and the owners Lynn and Jim are incredibly nice and amazingly know every child's name in their school. True dedication and caring.

Owners are invested and involved in this school being successful. Building is clean, well-kept and kid friendly decorations. Rooms are large and organized in an age-appropriate way.

We’ve been here a month and I love the professionalism we’ve experienced. I get daily updates and pictures of my child’s progress. I know my child is safe throughout the day and can feel comfortable knowing I left her in good hands.

Our child has been attending Goddard for a few months now and we have been very impressed by the staff. Emma, Lara Beth, and Danae are so caring and amazing with the children. They are extremely knowledgeable, kind, and make us feel like family.

This school is an absolute gem. They combine love and support for my daughter with an always interesting and innovative curriculum that involves time spent playing outside, lots of painting, sensory exploration bins, reading and so much singing!My daughter has been there since she was 10 weeks old and we've loved each of the 3 main teachers for each age. We've found all teaching and admin staff to be friendly and caring. Management is very responsive and acutely aware of parents' needs. I highly recommend this daycare.

We couldn't have asked for a better day care for our toddler. From the moment we spoke to the owner Miss Lynn to touring the ultra modern facility (we toured after hours) we knew this was the right place for our daughter to be. The facility is super clean and they adhere strictly to infection control guidelines. They also have a robust curriculum including STEM tailored to the needs of the child. Our daughter has improved so much developmentally and we are so grateful.
