The Goddard School was great at teaching reading and math to my child and preparing them for elementary school. The staff was always helpful, friendly and caring about the children.

Could you elaborate a bit as to what you noted that led you to this decision? Thank you

I would highly recommend that any parent who has a child in this Goddard school make unannounced, off-hour visits (ie, not the normal drop-off/pick-up times) and observe all the classrooms, not just the one your child is in. I did so and withdrew my child the same day.

This school is awesome!!!! Yes, when us parents read about the disgruntled ex-teacher making posts here... We all took action. My daughter went there for 5years, and was so far ahead of her peers, socially and academically. I love the feel of this school!!!

The reviews are mostly written by the owner ! You can tell because they all sound the same with lots of wonderful adjectives that don't sound like parents. THEY WERE ALL WRITTEN ON THE SAME DAY / WEEK!!!! Obviously someone is trying to cover up the reviews! One even said MY PRE-K teacher. Sounds like the owner. RIDICULOUS!!!!!

Everyone that works at this school is so friendly and always willing to help in anyway possible. My son needed a little extra help and the staff always helped with a smile on their faces. The staff has a genuine interest in each childs well being, and that is truly refreshing to see. My son is now in kindergarten and i couldnt ask for a better teacher than Miss Maryanne!

I've seen a lot of preschools and I loved the ratio of playtime to learning time. My child has learned so much, and I don't see her sitting in circle time for hours. All of my son's teachers have been very nice, great environment to learn.

Just visit or call this school and you will generally feel the warmth and coziness here. My son needed some extra help in his younger years and the therapists that came to the school have commented on how open and helpful the staff has been. The owner Mary ALWAYS had time to talk if you have a question or need some guidance. I have searched the area for the best preschool and I do believe this school is it!!!!

My children were in another preschool in the area, I switched this year and couldnt be happier. I am really impresed with the curriculum at this location. My oldest child attends warwick elementary and the teachers have been pleased with the skills she has entered kindergarten with. The parents of the kids attending here are "awesome". Its a great community.

Mom here. I love how this school is set up. Rooms areopen and there windows to each classroom that you can observe the classroom without your child knowing that you are there! I often "pop" in when I am in the area and love to see the my daughter in the midst of playing!! Teachers are very helpful and friendly, the art work my 3yr old brings home is adorable. I know my daughter is so happy here! I am from out of own and the parents and staff here have welcomed me with opened arms!

Miss Barbie the teacher for the 2yr olds is second to none. She has had so much patience with my shy daughter, I see her confidence growing daily. The weekly themes of this school are so cute and creative. Nice loving atmosphere here.

My son is in the baby room. I find the women who take care of him to be delightful. No child is ever left to cry. He is always smiling when I come to pick him up, so I know he has had a good. day.

I have two children in this school. My kindergarten teacher, Miss Maryanne, is fabulous. All of the faculty is superb.

My child was in pre-k in the 2009-2010 class below, and I must admit I am very confused . All but two of the children have returned to kindergarten and/or kindergarten enrichment. All of the parents agree on how well prepared our children were for the public kindergarten. The owner's curriculum mimics the central bucks school district and is most children excel in kindergarten AND first grade after leaving the school. I am saddened that my last child is going into 1st grade, and I will deeply miss the friendly faces at that school.

I had many concerns my daughter was not up to par on the most basic of skills. I spoke to the Pre-k teachers and the owner repeatedly and was reassured she was "Just Fine". My daughter started kindergarten completely unprepared in a school district full of high expectations. Had they been honest with me, her learning issues would have been taken care of at the start. I believe in The Goddard philosophy but would never recommend THIS Goddard location.

Staff at this school were not honest with me about how my son was doing, despite my repeated attempts to discuss with them why he was so unhappy there. I only found out after the County went there to evaluate him due to a learning disability. It was reported how lonely and confused his experience was, the teacher did not help him, the students alienated him, and they all told me he was doing great. They were not truthful and did not put the child's needs first, just to keep the $500/mo tuition coming!
