The Goddard School of Orange Park

"The Goddard school has been amazing for my two daughters! The entire staff is friendly and I believe they truly care about my children. I’m thankful to have found this daycare for their safety and continued education!"

"Being a first timer to the whole school dynamic, I was pretty nervous about what school and where to choose. But this school is beyond amazing,the staff have been nothing but kind,caring,and understanding. They are so helpful in making the transition smooth and calm. I would highly recommend this school to any first timers or even just a great school to send your child!"

"As a first time mom I was so anxious sending my 3yr old off to “school”. You hear of so many horror stories of daycares and not so great experiences people have had. From the first moment of walking into the Goddard school of Orange Park, there was immediate peace in my heart of leaving my child in their care. The teachers are absolutely amazing and have a true passion for children and helping them learn and grow. Their hearts are pure gold. The leadership is top notch. Which explains why the school is so hard to get your child into. Everyone wants to be a part of the Goddard family! The on-site owner Jen has always been quick to answer any and every one of my questions. As a leader of the school and a mom herself, I believe allows your voice to be heard. Trusting her (and child’s teachers) advice and opinions is immeasurable. Knowing your child is loved and cared for is something every parent wishes for. Thank you Goddard for helping shape my son and preparing him for kindergarten! Can’t wait for little sister to join the Goddard family in the fall! Y’all are amazing!"

"The Goddard School of Oakleaf has been an incredible experience for our family. We enrolled our infant son with them last year and have constantly been impressed by the level of high quality instruction and interaction. There are always fun activities and crafts for the kids to take part in, and helpful reports that share what the kids did at the end of each day. When COVID-19 happened, the Goddard School acted swiftly to implement more stringent procedures. Prior to Covid, they already had strict procedures in place. We never once felt uncomfortable with the facilities and were very impressed with the high level of professionalism and care the school took to keep services running. We are so glad to have The Goddard School right in our neighborhood with fabulous teachers who genuinely care about their students. The staff is always friendly and respectful, and we know we can count on them to let us know how our son is doing each day. Five stars isn’t enough for a rating! We love The Goddard School and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality learning environment for their young children."

"I enrolled my children in The Goddard School approximately two and a half months ago. My daughters are 1 and almost 3. Both of them stayed at home previously, so this was our first experience with child care / preschool. The Goddard School is absolutely not child care, it is preschool regardless of the child's age. I was impressed with the immediate results that my children displayed and my eldest wants to go to school every single day now. My one year old's fine motor development from all of the activities in class is incredible. The staff is friendly and always helpful with any request or accommodation you may need. The thing I found best is that they will help you guide your child in however you currently parent them so there are no conflicting messages. How they interact and teach the children is exactly what fell in line with my vision. While the school is on the higher end in terms of tuition rates, the old adage is that you get what you pay for, and the Goddard School is worth every penny."
