The Goddard School

All three of our children have attended the Goddard School in Wake Forest over the last four years — our oldest started when she was three, our middle child started around 1 year old, and our youngest has been attending since he was only a few months old. So we’ve seen it all — from the baby classroom where the teachers are so engaged and caring with the little ones to the pre-​K classroom where the kids are learning and playing and preparing for Kindergarten. Throughout the various classrooms, I’ve seen a great balance of learning and play and socialization with peers. Our older two were incredibly prepared for elementary school, both academically and socially, which I attribute in large part to their experiences at the Goddard School. The owners are great and very present/​involved in the day-​to-​day activities of the school — — our older two who have since graduated from the Goddard School are always excited to visit the owners when we go to pick up our youngest. It’s never easy to go back to work and trust others with your kiddos — but it is certainly easier knowing they’re at a place where they are well cared for, safe, and learning and playing every day.

My daughter started in the infant room at the Goddard School in Wake Forest when she was four months old. She is our only child and I was having a difficult time adjusting to the idea of going back to work. I could not have made it through the transition without the love and support of the wonderful Goddard staff! They have truly become part of our family. The teachers, directors and owner are all actively involved in the care of each and every child. Our daughter has learned so much in the past year, including language development, motor skills, communication via sign language, and social skills. Goddard is a top-​notch facility that provides an outstanding educational experience in a safe and loving environment. We have absolutely loved our time at Goddard and look forward to the years ahead! Thank you so much for all that you do!

Our daughter attends The Goddard School in Wake Forest NC. It is by far the best early childhood education center we have had the pleasure of attending in the area– and we will let her for sure, finish out her preschool career there. Goddard’s focus on the whole child and learning in the moment hits home for us because it allows children to develop as an individual and find their likes/​dislikes and hone in on what they are passionate about. There are other schools out there that have the look and feel of «hot houses» for children – Goddard is the complete opposite. There is loving, caring staff that have the depth of early childhood education that by far surpasses other centers. She is happy and fufilled and that makes for happy parents. She always is brimming with fabulous things to share about her day. We highly recommend The Goddard school because they raise the bar on the early childhood development experience.
