I recently attended a Pre-School graduation here to support the daughter of my best friend. I wanted to know about this school because of how much my friend raved about the nurturing experience all of the children receive. When I walked in I Immediately noticed the welcoming vibe from not only the owners but from all of the teachers. The children had such a happy experience and spoke with such confidence. I can tell they felt empowered. I highly recommend visiting the Goddard School of Herndon if you would like a home away from home for your child.:)

I can never express how much I like this daycare, I have tried several daycares for my daughter before but this was the one that we finally felt comfortable to stick to, they have exceptionally high standards specially when it comes to choosing their teachers, I have met some of the most amazing teachers in there and I always knew that my daughter was safe and well taken care of, my daughter is graduating next month after spending almost 3 years in that school, and if I ever needed an after school care, this will be my go to place, I definitely and totally recommend it.

My son has been enrolled since last July which isn’t even a year yet but I have noticed so many changes. He has learned so much and talks even more than he once did. He even comes home to share what he learns which he never did in his old school. Most recently he told me he learned Spanish and shared azul means blue! I am blown away by how much he knows already. We love the Goddard school and we know the staff loves us!

I can not recommend the Goddard School of Herndon enough! The entire front office staff and teachers are amazing. They take the time to get to know you and your child and make you really feel seen and heard. My son lights up when he sees his teachers and they go out of their way to send us daily photos and updates. The school itself is clean, updated, and very safe. I completely trust them with my child's safety and well-being.

My daughter is 18 months now and has been attending The Goddard school since she was 6 weeks old. The owner, directors, and teachers are always so welcoming, kind, and loving as soon as we walk through the door in the morning. It is not hard to fall in love with this school. All the staff are so attentive and really make you feel like it is a home away from home for your child all while ensuring every parent knows they are not babysitting, but educating each child and setting them up for success in all pathways of learning. My daughter gets so happy and smiles every day I drop her off. They make lessons engaging and fun and really treat each child as if they were their own. That makes me feel so good. I know I can trust the Goddard School of Herndon to take good care of my daughter and set her up for success in the future. Highly recommend this school.

I cannot say enough great things about this school! Our daughter has been here for over a year and everyone from the owner and administrators to each and every teacher are just the kindest and most caring. If you want your little one to grow and learn, but also be taken care of by those who will treat them like their own, then Ms. Abha and her team are simply the best!

If I could give six stars, I would. The staff were always polite, engaged with the children, and paid close attention to the children's wellbeing. The owner/school director went above and beyond for our little family. I will always be grateful.

Would give zero stars if possible. Accepts non FDA approved tests for flu and COVID-19 putting teachers and children all at high risk. When confronted they take zero responsibility and instead try to blame the test location. Scary and irresponsible. Keep your kids safe, take them somewhere else for daycare.

I encouraged everyone who is looking for a safe and professional environment for the kids to join Goddard Herndon, Virginia; we have been in Goddard Avon, Indiana since our little one was 18 months, and now he is four years ?; we relocated from Indiana to Virginia, and fortunately, we found Abha the great Goddard owner with her amazing director Marilynn, we just started last month and we planning to stay until the kindergarten.

We have been part of the Goddard School of Herndon family for almost two years. I say family because from the moment you enter, you feel at home. The front desk staff is kind, friendly, supportive, and welcoming. This kindness and compassion extends through all of the staff at the school. My son has progressed through three classes since he has been at Goddard and the milestones he has reached in each classroom has been amazing.As a parent, you constantly worry about your child’s safety, happiness and well being. While at work, I worry a little less because I know he is happy and safe. The teachers send pictures of him throughout the day, which is always welcome and needed especially on stressful days.Not to mention, the school puts on special fun events throughout the year. During the summer they had many different exciting and engaging activities for the kids. Recently they had the parade of costumes for Halloween and in the spring they had the Touch-a-Truck event where kids could explore firetrucks, construction vehicles, and garbage trucks and military vehicles.The Goddard School of Herndon goes above and beyond in exceeding my expectations and caring for my son. I would highly recommend this school to any parent who wants to see their child in a diverse learning environment, who cares about their child’s safety and well-being, and who wants to see their child grow personally, socially, emotionally and intellectually.

Time flies. Our daughter has been in Goddard School (Herndon) for more than 1 year and half. I can't believe it. I still remember how we choose this school for our daughter.We searched daycares/preschools in Google Map at first. Browsed photos, reviews, school websites, finally chose the ones that we were interested to schedule tours. At first, we didn't plan to visit Goddard School in Herndon becasue it's far away from our home and work place. But finally we wanted to have a try. After I went inside and took a glance, I immediately decided: here it is!1. Building:This school is a single building, not the lower levels of large work building, so there won't have a lot of people other than kids and their families. Less people means less disease cross infection.2. Floor:The whole school uses floor, not the whole carpet surface. Floor is much easier to clean and sterilize. We prefer floor much more than carpet.3. Windows:Since Goddard School (Herndon) is a single building, each classroom has at least one window (even two or three), no matter which direction the classroom is. So the daylighting in classroom is very good, which is good to kids' eyesight.Also, the walls are light color. The whole inner building looks new, clean and bright, which will let people have very good mood.(I visited some schools, they have some classrooms that have NO window, because they are in the inner side of the building. This is not good for kids' eyesight. )4. Outdoor Playground:The outdoor playground is artificial surface, not mulch. We like this so much. It's much safer than mulch. Because when the kids get stumbled, mulch may hurt their hand, knees and even plunge their eyes (in rare cases).5. People:The owner, director and teachers are all very nice, caring and patient. We were very nervous and worried at the beginning since this was the first time we sent our daughter to school. But they helped us to go through such a hard period.6. Plans:They have different plans, including 5 days/week (full time) and less days/week. Compared to the only full time daycares, it's more flexible. You can choose depending on your need.7. Activities:They have a lot of different activities depending on different holidays and in summer camp. Kids do have a lot of fun there.Our daughter grows up a lot, makes many friends and has a very good time here. We love and enjoy the time that we spend with Goddard School, and thank so much for their help during our hardest time. Because of our daughter's relocating, she has to leave. But we will remember here forever and will definitely recommend it to other people.
