Our family is newer to Goddard over the past 6 months and we have been so pleased. All of the staff has shown us such kindness and has made us feel like family.We are especially happy with the Pre K 1 classroom which includes teachers Mr John, Ms Kiara, and Ms Manisha. They help provide structured learning for the kids with fun and unique activities, but they also allow for the kids to explore and have time for free-play.You can tell the teachers genuinely enjoy their job and they make each student feel special. My 4 1/2 year old loves this class and loves each of these teachers!We are also very pleased with the Infant 2 classroom with teachers Ms Tylea and Ms Archana. They do such a good job with the babies and my daughter is always happy and smiling when we pick her up at the end of the day!

We can’t say enough great things about The Goddard (Polaris). We love Miss Rachel. Our child has learned so much in her class this year. The kids have so much structure and learning while they are there. It is easy to communicate with Steve and the staff, and they really care about the kids.

We really Trust Goddard Polaris with our children. It has been a wonderful experience for the past 2 years. They have helped prepare our children for elementary school and provided a safe and caring environment. Thank you Steve and staff!

Steve and his team have helped take care of our children for the better part of 12 years and I cannot thank them enough. Their infant and young toddler care is second to none. Very clean, safe spaces and the staff is great.As the children develop personalities and preferences, the Goddard curriculum allows them the flexibility to explore while also preparing them for school. Steve and Kelly do an amazing job of creating a summer camp that is exciting - the kids loved the special guests, especially the big guy!The office staff is a great balance of professional and friendly. 100% approachable and responsive to questions, convenes, and feedback. I am going to miss our daily interactions as my youngest moves to elementary school.Lastly, I feel it is important to state that the owner, Steve, is one of the kindest human beings I’ve ever met. His personality flows through the building and sets the tone…this is a happy place.Thanks for everything Steve & Kelly!

The best option for early learning and continued growth. I love my daughters excitement for school. I especially appreciate the photo updates throughout the day that show me what she is doing. Everytime I pick her up she is not ready to leave.

This is my first experience at any school as my kids were always at home with a nanny and I’m a hover mom. I chose this school because out of all the ones I toured, this was the only school that the owner actually gave me the tour and then sat down with me for almost a hour after to answer all my questions and hesitations that I had about sending my kids to school. Since their first day, I haven’t regretted my choice once. All the teachers are so kind and so helpful in getting my kids adjusted to a new normal. Any time something comes up, they’re so helpful and so responsive and it seems like they genuinely care about all the kids and enjoy being there every day.

It’s just a business they don’t have any vocation for education.The teachers are not trained to maintain control of the classroom so they resort to yelling and YouTube videos to keep the children in line. But then they send out an elegant report about your child’s “cultural immersion in popular culture” through screen time ?. “Film appreciation” for screen time the whole day.If your child is hit by another child they are not consistent in notifying the parents or filling out a report.Save your money they can watch YouTube at home for free and it’s safer.

I hate to have to do this. But I would NOT recommend this school. They DO NOT prepare students(Olentangy)...high turn over rates and we hung in there for 3 years and wasted a lot of time and money...plus paid extra money for phonics. They said my daughter was on par the entire time..and in fact was a year behind and now have to be retained.

Our experience with Goddard school is wonderful, We are highly satisfied with their standards. Our daughter has been part of this school since last year in Kindergarten. Her overall academic , other extra curricular activites and social skills have been excellent. I would like to personally thank Ms.Meredith her kindergarten teacher who has always been her support, very kind and encouraging. Also a big thanks to Mr.Steve, Ms.Ashley and Ms.Kelly, Mr.Nick, Ms.Torey who are always approachable and promptly addresses any concerns we had. Overall I definitely recommend this school.

My daughter has attended Goddard for the last two years and is currently in their kindergarten program with Miss Meredith! I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about this school and each staff member/teacher. My expectations have been well exceeded, her teacher goes above and beyond with what she does with each student. I would recommend this school to anyone that is looking to give their child the best education they can in preparing them to go into first grade! Thank you to The Goddard School for all they do each day- each of you are much appreciated!
