We were seeking a structured classroom environment close to our home and we have been quite pleased with Goddard in Fairfax City. While childcare costs have certainly increased since pre-2020, the results we see vs our previous structured daycare experience are well worth the expense.

Our son joined the Goddard family around 18 months old after a fairly abysmal experience at another daycare. From day 1 we knew Goddard was different. They cultivate an amazingly warm, inclusive, and welcoming environment and culture. The teachers are all top notch, educated, and clearly care deeply about the children. The staff and director/owner are awesome and when you talk to them you’ll feel like you’ve known them for years. Just a great learning environment overall that also allows the kids to be kids and thrive in their own personality and identity. We love the school and more importantly our now 2+ year old toddler loves the school and is flourishing in every aspect. We highly recommend this school!

We recently enrolled our twins at The Goddard School of Fairfax. We kept them home for the first year and the idea of putting them in daycare was scary to us. They had been in the care of family since they were born. But my husband needed to return back to work full-time and now that they were mobile it was a lot for Grandma to take on full time. We did our research trying to find child care that we felt comfortable with. It was a hard road to navigate! Enter Sanjeev Patel and his School, The Goddard School of Fairfax. We met with him to tour the school and get all of our questions answered. He was very kind, warm and informative. He let us know that his son attended the infant class. That immediately put our minds at ease. As a father and owner, he was trusting of his staff to care for his child. Our decision was made easier because we loved how approachable Sanjeev, his wife Roshani and all the teachers were. We loved that the facility was brand new. And we loved the curriculum, it wasn't just a daycare, learning was at the center of it all. The first couple weeks were very hard for us as new parents dropping off our twins, but Sanjeev, his wife and all the staff made us feel comfortable and helped us ALL transition, they understood. We are very grateful for that. I told my cousin that lives in South Carolina about 'The Goddard School' and she recently enrolled her second born baby. She wished she would have done something like this for her first. She loves the facility she found down south.

We love the Goddard School of Fairfax! The school admin/staff are extremely warm and welcoming! Any concerns we’ve had regarding our child, they’ve promptly addressed and worked as a team with us to resolve any issues. Our child has made so many bonds with the staff and students and the school. We know that our child is in a safe/secure environment where she is growing and learning!

Everything is amazing! Beyond the education (which is superior), the teachers, staff, and owners are all top notch! They are kind, knowledgeable and super friendly--always going above and beyond for the kids and parents. And most importantly, they personally know every student and treat them like their own.My child is so excited for school every day and runs in with a big smile for all the teachers and students. My child's development has been extraordinary, from learning her first words to walking, eating solids, and making real friendships, I am in awe!I looked at 8 schools before enrolling and as soon as I met Sanjeev and Afriyie I knew immediately this was the the right place and they continue to exceed my expectations. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for a warm, nurturing, happy (and clean :) environment.

We joined Goddard of Fairfax about 6 weeks ago. Our daughter is 2 1/2 and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the childcare. We have seen a noticeable positive difference in our daughter’s verbal, gross, and social-emotional skills in just a short of amount of time. The facility, teachers, and curriculum are wonderful. The teachers are caring and truly stick to the curriculum with engaging activities.

We have two children who are attending Goddard, and it has been an awesome experience! Mr. Sanjeev and his team are warm and inviting. The vibe just feels good, and you can tell the staff is functioning well and in harmony. The staff is patient and responsive to my many questions too! It gives me peace of mind knowing the strong safety protocols used by Goddard. There are specific processes for everything and I've seen it in person. From walking from classroom to classroom, or outdoor time, there is a lot of checking and re-checking to ensure safety and accountability. There are daily photos and short videos as well as a daily summary at the end of the day sent via email. We love the flexible pickup time as well. We know our children are learning as we have observed increased independence, more social skills, as well as lots of new vocabulary. Thank you Mr. Sanjeev and the whole Goddard team!

I can’t say enough amazing things about this place! My 20 month old son absolutely LOVES it and is so excited in the mornings to head out for the day. His teachers are so empathetic and loving. The owner, Sanjeev treats every kid like his own and it’s so refreshing to see how caring and inclusive the entire Goddard Fairfax staff are! HIGHLY recommend to all future parents who are looking for a warm, nurturing environment with the best of people - staff and the sweetest little humans included. Thank you for all that you’ve done to make our family feel welcomed!

While evaluating relocation options for the family we visited the Goddard Fairfax location. Serina was a great host and showed my wife and I around the classrooms where my son and daughter would attend. Convenient location.

Hands down this school is the best school in NOVA. The curriculum is amazing. Full engagement with students and management is beyond amazing! This school truly cares about the growth of their students. Very clean and welcoming environment! My son is in the preschool classroom and this is the first time ever that I’ve seen the significant impact and difference in my son’s growth and learning aspects. I highly recommend this school! 100/100!
