There are no words when it comes to my appreciation for this school and staff. We knew we wanted to send our son Jackson to a good environment but were blown away at how amazing it was for him. He has excelled in his speech, OT and over all behavior thanks to the services Goddard allowed him to receive while attending school there. We are going to miss the teachers so much when he graduates but will be sending our 2 young girls there in the future. You won’t be disappointed with your tour, the facility is clean , friendly and allows children to thrive the way they are suppose to ! We love You Goddard xo

The Goddard is absolutely the best. My children are coming home every day with something new they learned as well as new vocabulary! My children have strong attachments with their teachers and staff which lets me know they are loved. Tallal and the directors are always going above and beyond to care for others.

It’s not enough words that can describe how truly amazing Goddard on Nields is. My youngest started here when she was 3, she fell in love with the staff and so did I. They care for the children here as if they are their own. They spoil them with love and I never felt uneasy about leaving my daughter with her teachers. The love is so genuine, and they really enrich their little lives with the best education. The summer camp is always filled with events, including pony rides, water play every week, and continuous music enrichment activities. I’ll always suggest Goddard to parents who are looking for good quality childcare!

I can't recommend the Goddard School on Nields Street in West Chester enough. The incredible staff treats each child as their own - spoiling them with love and kindness. From Spanish class, to karate, to music class, special art projects, community visitors, and special events, everyday is an adventure for the kids and they can't wait to get to school. We've had an incredible experience these past 4 years, it'll be hard to say to goodbye.

Our son never went to this school (not one day) due to a serious illness and the owner, Tallal, refused to refund our ~$1795 (month tuition) even though the contract stated we would get the money back, less the deposit . We allowed the school ample notice time and our son's spot was filled as we called to check this on the back-end. We contacted Tallal multiple time to attempt to resolve this and he refused to refund anything. We are now filing a small claims case against the school/owner to get our money back. Additionally, we had stayed on their email list and had noted a very high tuition increase (~$300) during the course of the year.I would not recommend this daycare to anyone.

We highly recommend The Goddard School of West Chester. We are beyond thrilled with the care that our daughter received as a student at the Goddard School. She started at 1 year old and has thrived thanks to the fantastic directors and teachers. What makes the school truly special is the frequent communication and updates throughout the day that make you feel peace of mind. Knowing that your child is safe, having fun, and learning new skills is priceless. I can't say enough about the leadership & teachers at the school. Everyone knows my daughter's name, and she lights up at drop off every single day. I am so thankful to the Goddard- Miss Anna & JoAnne- and all of the wonderful (and incredibly talented) teachers.

Our son has been at Goddard for about 2 years now and I can't say enough great things about the school. Having had issues in the past at another school, we understand how important it is to find the perfect school for your child in order to have the peace of mind throughout the day of who is caring for them during the time they are away from you. Not only has Goddard gone above and beyond making the children feel comfortable and happy, they make sure the parents have the correct communication throughout the day, week and month. We get updates on our children and how their day is going along with photos, videos and notes. We get updates weekly on what the school has planned along with monthly newsletters which show everything from what snack will be served that day, the allergies to be aware of in the classrooms, teachers note and happenings throughout the school as well as event updates. Our son is now in his 3rd classroom as he moves up in class and every single teacher and staff member has been attentive, knowledgeable, caring and kind. Goddard has become our second family and we are grateful to have them. Additionally, the school is incredibly clean, organized and very secure. More than anything, it's been wonderful to know that our son is in great hands and learning so much before the time comes when he enters kindergarten. Thank you, Goddard!

I can't say enough positive things about The Goddard School of West Chester. Our son enrolled when he was 11 months old and has been thriving there for a year. The staff is so caring, kind and supportive of his needs, and always worked hard to ensure he had an enriching, safe and fun day. Most importantly, my mind was always at ease when he was there because I knew he was safe and well-cared for.The facility is managed very well, with very clear communication and scheduling. The manager and the director are always available if you have any needs or questions, and are very flexible.Lastly, the space is so bright, clean and inspiring. Our sons classroom was filled with fun and educational toys, artwork and projects to jump into. They have a great playground, and the kids get to enjoy the outdoors twice in a day.Overall, my son grew to absolutely love his teachers and friends at Goddard, and we saw his verbal and interpersonal skills grow so much during his time there. I highly recommend the Goddard School!

Had to withdraw our son from attending this daycare due to illness, before he even got a chance to start, even tho we gave plenty of notice to the school and they filled the spot, we ran into rather unprofessional and unethical handling of our situation. Stated by the contract, we had understanding, that we are loosing the non- refundable deposit and registration fee, but nowhere did it say in the contract, that we also lose a month tuition, that we paid. Yet our son not once attended the child care.Even after my conversation over the phone with the owner, to this day I'm still hoping he will stand up to the situation and make things right, but seems to be wishful thinking at this point and unfortunately we will have to make other steps to resolve this issue.

Our son never went to this school (not one day) due to a serious illness and the owner, Tallal refused to refund our ~$1800 (month tuition) even though the contract stated we would get the money back, less the deposit . We allowed the school ample notice time and our son's spot was filled as we called to check this on the back-end. We contacted Tallal multiple time to attempt to resolve this and he refused to refund anything. We are now filing a small claims case against the school/owner to get our money back. Additionally, we had stayed on their email list and had noted many very high tuition increases during the course of the year. This school seems more interested in making profits than in doing what is fair and ethical for the families.I would not recommend this daycare to anyone.

The owner, staff and teachers are outstanding! The moment my husband and I stepped into the facility we knew this is the place we wanted our son to go! Any questions or concerns we have had were quickly addressed by the staff. They are quick to answer emails and phone calls. He loves it there and we have seen so much growth just over the past few months of him being there. He’s more social. We love getting picture updates through out the day and our only regret is not sending him sooner!

We LOVE the Goddard School on Nields Street! The staff is so incredibly warm and welcoming and we feel like they really love our children. The curriculum offers our children play-based learning in a supportive and encouraging environment. Between art, Spanish, chess and STEM- it's amazing how much our kids are learning at such young ages! 10/10 would recommend!!

Talall and his staff are very friendly, warm and welcoming. The staff at Goddard on Nields St. is compassionate about teaching their students. We felt comfortable knowing our daughter was in the best of hands and that safety was always a priority at the school. We have had nothing but the best experiences at Goddard on Nields and we are so sad to leave them.

Our son has been at Goddard for a year and a half and it has been a wonderful community for him! We tried a different school before this that wasn't a good fit. So grateful to have found Mr. Tyler, Miss Ce Ce, Miss Anna, Miss Rianna, Miss Jo Jo, Miss Indigo and the rest of the Goddard team.
