The Goddard School of Arnold,

1 East Joyce Lane, Arnold, MD 21012

"We've had the best experience here! We have sent both kids here and are confident every day dropping our youngest off that she is in good hands. Every staff person knows her and us by name, they do amazing activities daily, and she is learning so much. We know that the 2's program set our now 4 year old up for great success in elementary school. We couldn't be more grateful- we recommend them to everyone!"

"With an infant and a recently turned four-year old at the school, I am thrilled to see their level of engagement! My son does something new daily and willingly goes to his teacher! My daughter is writing her name and sounding out letters! Both are learning to be strong and independent! So grateful they get to go here."

"We looked at all the day cares in the area and Goddard seemed to me to be the cleanest with the best use of space and all the kids seemed happy there so we signed up. Our 6 month old started there a month ago and we just love it. The new owner is there every morning and gives us a big smile and greeting when we come in. All the staff that rotate in the newborn room are great and friendly and I know they are taking great care of my little peanut. Mrs. Erin is an absolute treasure. When I hand off to her I feel like I'm giving my child to a family member and I have zero stress when I walk out the door. My daughter adores her. She's been there for a long time and offers amazing stability. They do a great job rotating the kids through different activities. We get pictures sent home every day and a report of naps and feeds and diapers. Highly recommend!"

"We have trusted Goddard School of Arnold with our son for two years and could not be more thrilled with his growth in both an academic and emotional respect. We are confident that our son will be set up for the best success when he enters kindergarten next year. From an academic standpoint, as a four year old, he is reading, can legibly write words and numbers, and even understands math skills (that I didn't learn until at least kindergarten or 1st grade!). From an emotional standpoint, he understands the value of inclusivity, being kind, and being patient (again, skills I didn't learn until much later!). We know that he is encouraged, loved, and taught things that we could never teach him on our own. We recognize that the team at Goddard School of Arnold are an extension of us as parents - we all work as a team to rear him into the best version of himself possible. I always feel comfortable to have conversations with the teachers about any new behaviors and how, as a team, we all help correct or encourage him. The teachers and staff welcome involvement. We love the teachers and staff at Goddard and couldn't be happier."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Goddard. The teachers and staff are amazing and have become so close to my daughters. They genuinely treat you like family and go above and beyond to accommodate your child's needs. Healthy snacks, outdoor time, pretend play, circle time, and of course the daily reports on the app with pictures! The school has done such an amazing job handling the pandemic this year and we couldn't be more thankful! We feel our kids are safe and in such good hands at Goddard!"
