The Goddard School of Avon Lake

"Our family has been with Goddard Avon Lake since they very first opened. Our littlest guy will graduate soon which means we will no longer be a Goddard family and that truly makes us sad! I think that says a lot. Eric, Mel, Katie, Robin and the rest of the team have become trusted members of our family over the years! Some highlights of my weekdays include catching up with Mel at drop off or Robin and Eric at pick up! They make every effort to do the right thing for each child under their care. The Goddard team develops authentic, meaningful relationships with the kiddos and their families. Nobody will love your child like you do, but I do believe the Goddard team is close behind. Whenever we encountered a concern, we were able to bring it to Eric and his leadership team to have a conversation. Our concerns were always taken seriously, handled professionally, and next steps were taken when appropriate. Nobody is perfect, which certainly includes me/parents, and things will happen. However, Goddard Avon Lake has earned our faith and trust that any issues will be addressed. We drop off our little and have complete faith that he is being left in a clean, safe environment that fosters his growth and education every single day. Thank you Eric, Mel, Robin, and each teacher Goddard that have cared for both of our boys over the years."

"The staff at Goddard AL go beyond for all the children they care for. The staff is warm, kind, and loving. They support our children’s development and the kids love showing up everyday because it’s fun for them! Thank you to all the staff, we appreciate you!"

"We've had the unfortunately experience (due to COVID and relocation) of sending our kids to 4 different preschools over the last few years. We've had varying degrees of success, but the folks at Goddard are wonderful! The place is clean. The staff are friendly. You can tell that they enjoy what they do and care for the kids. Our boys like going to school (this hasn't been the case at the other schools). And there is also a good bit more academic rigor. We can tell that our boys are learning and growing."

"We have an 18 and 16 year old that attended Avon Goddard from around 2006-2010. We had a great experience back then. So much, that when we moved back to Avon a couple years ago we enrolled our four year old. It has been as amazing as I could imagine, honestly. Our daughter truly loves her teachers. So much so that one left for a FT teaching job and my daughter was so genuinely sad she cried on her teachers last day. The same thing has happened when she moved up a class. There are many other reasons as well but to me, the way my daughter feels about her teachers just wouldn't be possible if they weren't good people doing great things on a daily basis - in my daughters opinion. At least that's how I look at it. School type educational aspects, great as well, our daughter is very much where she should be because of Goddard alone almost. So we've got around six years of experience with these people and we have not one single negative thing to say along with those positives - That's impressive! Thanks to Angela and all the teachers at Avon Goddard."

"We are new to Goddard and my daughter feels right at home. The owner knows our names from the moment I met him and he greets everyone at the door when its time for pickup and says good bye. The facility is new and kept very clean. They have and outdoor learning area an indoor gym over all just a great place."
