Ms. Hafida and Ms. Maria are the best! They’re always very friendly and positive. You can tell they genuinely care about the children in their classroom. Having to take your child to daycare can be hard, but Ms. Hafida and Ms. Maria eased our worries with their genuine care and compassion towards our child. I highly recommend The Goddard School of Lake Ridge!

We had tried another daycare for our newborn son and were not happy with them. There was a world of difference when we joined The Goddard School, in the best way. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the facilities are great and all the teachers are wonderful. Our son loves his teacher Miss Hafida, she is so positive, patient and kind with him and she has them create the best arts and crafts projects to give as gifts. We have great peace of mind each day we drop our son off that he gets the best care and daycare experience he can.

I've all three of my kids there, working on the last one now. We really loved the Pre-K and Kindergarten programs that they have. It really helped prepare our kids for elementary school and it helped extremely with their reading skills. Mrs. Michelle greets me every morning with a smile and Mrs. LaShawn has been there for all 3 of my boys and has treated them like her own children.

I can’t say enough good things about The Goddard School of LakeRidge. The entire staff here is absolutely wonderful. My kids have been attending since they were babies. This year my daughter missed the PWCS cutoff for kindergarten by a few weeks. With strong Pre-k fundamentals from Ms. Thomas and Ms. Lashawn, she was eligible for the Kindergarten program this year. She is currently enrolled in kindergarten with Ms. Michelle at Goddard. Ms. Michelle is amazing and a wonderful influence on my daughter. At 5 years old, she can read, count money, and is excited to talk about equations. I am confident she will succeed next year in first grade. She also comes home with the cutest crafts, songs, and is speaking Spanish from afternoons with Ms. Maria and Ms. Amy.
My 2 year old son also attends here. All of his teachers have given him wonderful individualized attention to help him get thru the ‘terrible’ twos. Ms. Nikita, Ms. Rita, and Ms. Ashley are all incredible with the way they care for the toddlers. Thanks to these ladies, my son is counting, identifying colors, able to make good choices, and generally just very happy and excited to go see his teachers and friends every day.
Goddard is a wonderful school. We did attend another school at one point. After one meeting with the Director, Tiffany, we knew our family belonged here. Her professionalism and caring demeanor creates a welcoming and caring community environment. Attending Goddard has been the best decision for our family.

I am so thankful we found this school! My 2 yr old needed to learn how to socialize with children her age and I needed to be able to work from home in peace. Ms Lashawn and Ms Nikita are amazing--both have helped me feel confident my child is in great hands. Ms Lashawn has been a great help with what to work on at home, specifically several great potty training tips. My daughter was drawn to Ms Nikita from day one, and is always particularly excited to see her, which helped the transition from home to school.
Additionally, all the staff here seem to know EVERY child by name. The whole team works well together to provide the balanced environment I needed for my child.

We've been at Goddard School since my daughter was turned 2, and we have had a wonderful experience with all the teachers and staff there! Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Michelle help make drop-off and pick-up smooth and are always greeting the children with such positivity and cheerfulness. Ms. Amy and Ms. Jasmine have made our daughter's last year so much fun and she's learned so much, we will be sad to transition to kindergarten next year!

Our son has only been attending daycare part-time at the Goddard School for a month or so, but the wonderful teachers there have helped ensure a smooth and happy transition from home. While he loves all of the Goddard staff, he's taken a particular shine to Ms. Nikita, whom he's so excited to tell us about at the end of the school day. She's warm, attentive, and detail-oriented, and makes our son (and his classmates) feel special every day!

My daughter started in this school when she was about 3 months old. Ms. Michelle and Ms. Hafida were so caring and helpful from the beginning that all my worries about leaving the little one in a new place were gone within couple of weeks. Then, as she grew up, she got to meet and learn from the other wonderful teachers like Ms. Ashley, Ms. LaShawn, Ms. Carita, and Ms. Nikita. In fact, all the teachers and also the director Ms. Tiffany are so caring about the kids and always greet us with a sweet smile whenever we meet. My daughter has been in a healthy and happy environment in this school and learnt a lot through talking, playing, and interacting with her teachers and friends. Me and my husband are very grateful to them.

I have all 3 of my kids at Goddard. We have had a great experience. One thing of I love is the consistency of great teachers that I know and trust with all of my kids. Ms Lashawn has taught all 3 of my kids, and we love her! My girls have been with Ms Amy and Ms Michelle and love them! Ms. Hafida is wonderful in the infant room. All good things to say about Goddard (Lakeridge).

I have two littles that attend. Both enrolled at a year old and now they are 4 and 2. We are thankful and appreciate the entire staff as I know they work together but we have enjoyed connection with Ms. Michelle is who is always a pleasure in the morning along with Director Ms. Tiffany who is also always so cheerful even though the girls are usually cranky in the morning. HA! Ms. Lashawn, Ms. Rita, Ms. Ashley, Ms Lenny, Ms. Thomas are all great as well. All having different personalities offer their own special Goddard touch to the girls. I am missing a few for sure so I will be back to update! I am pleased with my experience here. As a new mom in a scary world it can be nerve racking to leave your babies in the hands of strangers. If issues ever came about they were discussed and dealt with professionally. I have recommended The Goddard to other as some, due to the location aren't aware its there. Not sure if other daycares do this but trunk o treats and sending goodie bags home on mother's day and father's day but those are really sweet touches!!
Editing: Missed Ms. Hafida and Ms. Maria. They are the sweetest! Ms. Hafida gets good morning hugs from my littlest bean of the two, who doesn't cry at drop off which says a lot and makes it less painful leaving her.
The entire staff is great but these are the ladies I've come to know by name!

We are beyond thrilled with our son's first year! Ms. Maria and Ms. Hafida made his transition the first few weeks easy for all of us. Our family members are amazed by his development during this time and we couldn’t ask for a better daycare center. So thankful for all the staff truly because without each one of you the total operation couldn’t work the way that it has. Kudos!!!!
