10/10 would recommend to any parent. Our child has been attending for over 3 years now and we couldn't be happier. They are attentive to each individual child's needs, nurturing, and above all communicate very well.

The staff is friendly and you can tell it's genuine, the school is run very well , the teachers are consistent and not a high turnover (which I know is hard to achieve), my kiddo is happy and learning and engaged!I had been at another school prior to moving over to Goddard. We were at the other school for 1 year. The difference in how Goddard is run is night and day. I can see the development my child has made since switching and he's much happier overall. When I pick him up at the end of the day he doesn't want to go home he's still having a great time!

We started at Goddard Somersett just over a month ago and my son is loving it!! The are organized and helpful, which has made the transition for our family an easy one. The curriculum is shared as well as items we can work on at home to help round out our sons learning. We feel our sons is cared for and that he is getting a good education at Goddard. We would highly recommend this school!

I had the privilege of working here for almost two years and the memories, friendships, and love that I received will be with me forever. Denise and the rest of management have created an environment where they ensure their teachers are taken care of. Because of the constant support from the owner and directors, teachers are able to wholly focus on providing the highest quality of care for the children. Management is quick to step into the classroom and never forgets how much work it takes to exceed the standards of a normal preschool day in and day out. I got to share my days with some of the most kind and intelligent teachers. They genuinely love their kids and love their job. They are passionate about curriculum and helping their students reach developmental milestones. There is truly a sense of community that is formed within this school. One of the things I loved the most was the level of communication that is encouraged between staff and families. I never wanted families to feel like they were missing time, precious milestones, or little joys just because they were dropping their child off at the school and so much of the staff holds that same mindset. This is a school where your family and child will be loved, academically challenged, and celebrated.

We cannot express how much we adore the team at The Goddard School of Reno (Somersett) . My son has been attending since he was 6 months old and he will be 2 years old next week. The teachers not only care about the children but the families as well. I feel they do everything to ensure the safety and well-being of the children. They provide an incredible curriculum and my son has flourished well beyond our expectations. They take the time to work with each child and create fun lesson plans to engage the kids. My son looks forward to going to "School" every day. The entire team from the Directors/Owners to the teachers go above and beyond. I absolutely love all of the teachers and staff!!! We trust them 100% and know that they treat our son with the utmost respect and caring that we could ever ask for. You will never regret paying that little bit extra. . . it's worth every penny!!!

The Goddard school constantly demonstrates their commitment to our children through curriculum, added enrichment, well thought out events, and daily interactions with the children and families. Both my kids have loved the Goddard school from day one and we have referred multiple families here as well. My kids are happy, entertained, educated, and nurtured. My son loves his friends and teachers and talks about them all the time. The teachers and staff genuinely care about what they do and it’s so clear they genuinely enjoy being there and that is evident in their care for the children.

I am lucky enough to be employed at this school, so my opinion may be a tad biased, but my two year old daughter attends. I can’t speak higher about Goddard. Not only are all the teachers here qualified and dedicated to their profession, they make learning fun, while providing the children in their care with the love and attention they need to thrive. Since my daughter has started here, my husband and I have noticed a huge difference in her language skills and ability to follow directions. To top it off, her teachers have almost completely potty trained her. She is excited to come to school everyday and that makes us both so, so happy. Every single teacher here is amazing and every director/administrative staff goes above and beyond (for both parents and staff). Every parent wants the best for their child and Goddard is it!

I would give 0 star if I could. I wanted to put my child's name on the waitlist back in March 2022, they gave me a form, and I filled it out, and at that time I did not know that I was enrolling him actually ( they told me later on that the form was for enrollment not the waitlist. I clearly stated that I wanted to put him in the waitlist otherwise why I was still checking out other daycares?!!).They asked for 2 weeks of tuition and the registration fee, which was fine to me because I thought, ok if I decide to enroll him here, they want to make sure that I can pay at least the first two weeks. I checked my credit card a week later and saw it was deducted. I went for a second time Tour ( I checked out all the daycares in Reno a couple of times). In March, it was still snowy and cold in Reno, and I saw that the window was open, and a baby girl literally was sleeping below the window. I was shocked and asked the person who was giving me a tour why the window was open while we were still wearing a jacket, it was very cold outside, and she didn't have anything to say! I decided to withdraw my son from the waitlist two wees after the time I put his name on the list. They said they were not going to refund my money. I did not mind paying the registration fee.It was the first week of April when I wanted to withdraw, and my son was supposed to start on September 1st. They had enough time to put someone else on my son's spot right? But still, they did not refund me. I went there a couple of times called them five times and Dennise, the manager, never called me back. The last time that I called on June 21st, Dennise told me to stop harassing my employees :D I was like what harassing? I am just politely asking for my money, and you keep the money for a service you have not provided! and she said give me your credit card info and we will refund it. It is funny that they only refunded $360 instead of $650. I am tired of calling them back. It is stilling and I refer them to Karma. They will pay it back somehow.

I've worked here for a little over a year now and have grown so much not only with the school but as a teacher, which I didn't really know I needed to be until I got this job. Since I started, I was trained by the previous teacher in the infant room and was quickly challenged by becoming the assistant teacher to the now lead teacher in that room. I was nervous at first with all the new responsibilities I was given, but I was so grateful that Denise and the Directors trusted me to teach and care for their youngest students. I love getting to spend my days with the babies, watching them reach new milestones and building relationships with each of them as well as their parents. I take pride in ensuring the parents their babies have a clean and safe environment where they can express themselves freely and have the room to grow!

I cannot recommend this school enough. We started our now 2.5 y/o in their infant room and were completely blown away with their care, communication, and friendliness. The owner, Denise, has done an amazing job of navigating and communicating changes due to COVID this last year. Our daughter comes home with impressive vocabulary and can count in Spanish. She talks about her teachers and classmates almost everyday on our way to school, which means so much to me (specifically Ms. Shawna). My husband and I are thankful everyday for the care and education they provide, and we have complete confidence when we start our newborn in the spring/summer.

We love the caring staff, the diverse, educational, and fun curriculum, the cleanliness of the place, the kids’ artwork always displayed, and we love that our kids absolutely love it. In addition to traditional subjects, our 2 and 3 year old kids are speaking Spanish, doing yoga, and learning about recycling and gardening to name a few- such an amazing and well rounded experience. This school is better than what we ever could have hoped for for our kids and we feel so fortunate we found Goddard Sommersett.

The staff and management make recommending Goddard and easy choice! Top notch education and state of the art facility. I wouldn't send my child anywhere else.
