Goddard School in Mechanicsville has really made a difference for us. Our child has been thriving there and is well cared for. His teachers are attentive, and we’ve seen him reach milestones earlier than expected. We stay connected and have great communication with the teachers and staff. We highly recommend this school!

Goddard Mechanicsville was a WONDERFUL school for our daughter. She was greeted everyday by administration who knew her name and were incredibly friendly. The teachers were exceptional and she learned so much while having a great time. We would recommend Goddard Mechanicsville to anyone!

Our 3 year old LOVES going to his school every day. All of the staff is supper kind and friendly. This is my second child to attend and we couldn’t be happier. It’s good to know as a parent that our child is safe and enjoying everything you have to offer. The only thing that I would say is bad is the extra charges for the classes. Tuition is high as it is.

I transferred my daughters here from a different facility, and I have nothing but great things to say about TGS Mechanicsville. The director and administrative staff are always welcoming and very helpful. The teachers are ALL superb (we have been in 4 classrooms), the classroom structure, schedule and activities are both fun and educational, and the facility is clean, bright, and warm. I love the correspondance and daily information about what the kids are working on throughout the week and the photos on the app. The teachers each take time to get to know our children as individuals and are fantastic at communicating and working with parents through any behavioral or developmental concerns. This is not a place that just "watches" your children. They truly care for, teach, and support your children. I cannot recommend TGS highly enough.

The leadership at this school is amazing! It starts with an active owner who not only drives the operation, but you'll also see her in the classrooms. The directors and teachers are very good. They all play a large role in the development of your child or children. The constant communication is so much appreciated. Thank you!!!

My daughter has attended Goddard for 8 years. It is the best childcare center in the area. Working full time is stressful with a child, but I’ve always had piece of mind leaving her in their care. The faculty is clean and well taken care of. The staff is loving and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them!

The administration, the staff and the teachers are AMAZING! We drive out of our way every weekday because we love it so much. Our kids have now aged out and we are sad to leave. When we came in from another child care program, we were welcomed right away and it immediately felt right. Our youngest went from crying everyday for a month at our previous provider, to smiles walking in the door every morning. Both our children have been given a bright start from the private kindergarten program. We also enjoyed speaking with the staff and we can't say this enough, they will be missed so much.

The staff is always very warm, friendly, and happy to answer any questions that might arise. They are super organized and love how the curriculum encourages the children to explore their curiosity. My son just loves his school!

We could not have more positive things to say about The Goddard's School of Mechanicsville. From the learning program to the kind and loving staff, we felt we our daughter was getting the best care possible each day.

We were set to start next month, however upon staff reaching out with the welcome packet we were informed they closed due to the lockdowns. Since my spouse and I are both essential workers, we cannot attend a daycare that they themselves do not consider an essential business. Unfortunately, we were within 30 days of starting when this issue came to light and were denied any sort of refund on the first months tuition.The reason for the 1 star is they fail to notify applicants of this until it is too late to cancel making it impossible to comply with their policy guidelines. We were unaware that daycare facilities closed due to lockdowns, considering our current daycare remained open throughout (located in same County).

I moved my son to the Goddard in Mechanicsville in June and my son absolutely loves it. He loves the directors and all of the staff, they are extremely friendly and he always has fun. The education provided and curriculum is great and he always is learning something new. He is currently in the private kindergarten and after school program and loves it. He has not cried once since he started about going into class and I love how happy he is and the relationships he has formed. I would highly recommend this school. The owner as well as directors are amazing !!

We were so lucky to discover Goddard School of Mechanicsville when we had our son! It has been such a great place for him to attend. The staff are caring, attentive and friendly and seem to be truly invested in our child's growth and well-being. They have great programs in place like yoga, sign language assistance and activity centers. I'd highly recommend it.

We started our Goddard Mechanicsville journey after having difficult experiences at a local Montessori School (Montessori is great, just wasn't a good fit for our child). Goddard of Mechanicsville took a child who'd experienced difficult interactions at school daily at her previous preschool and turned her into a preschooler who loved school and felt successful there (at her previous school, she'd come home saying that she was a "bad kid"!). Goddard of Mechanicsville actually felt even more child-centered than our previous Montessori program. They were able to offer a very loving environment that also provided structure in a way that worked for our child. The teachers and admin staff are all so attentive. The facility is super clean and well decorated. The communication with the staff could not be better - they are very timely and professional in their responses to email and phone calls. I can't recommend Goddard of Mechanicsville enough!
