LOVE LOVE LOVE this school. My girls really enjoy going to school everyday in such a loving environment. My 3 yr old has learned so much, it really amazes me. I highly recommend The Goddard School @ Hickory Flat!!
Amazing School. My daughter has learned so much and the care she received is beyond our expectations.
Great School!!! Great Teachers!!! Great Curriculum!!!
Highly recommend.
We really love the good lesson plans to all the differents ages and is glad to see a happy and pleasant evironment.
This is a great school! The owner and the teachers really dedicate themelves to the students!! I was so impressed especially at Thanksgiving time. I went for the Thanksgiving meal and wandered around to see what the other classes were doing. I happened in on the kindergarten class and they were enacting a play that was outstanding!! I thought 3rd graders were doing that play it was so accomplished!!! If you put your child in the right atmosphere, he/she can't help but flourish!! I'm so glad mine is here at this Goddard!!!
I work at this Goddard School location. Before now, I have not had the pleasure to honestly say that I love my job. It is such a blessing to love where you work and the people you work with. Mary Kay is a wonderful, caring and insightful Owner. She is very involved in the day to day operations of the school. Stephanie, the Director, is extremely caring and knowledgable. Lindsey, the Business Manager, is very friendly and always happy to answer all of my questions. Goddard is a fun and rewarding place to work. I highly encourage all nurturing and energetic teachers to consider The Goddard School as your future place of employment!
It was an extremely hard decision on where to put my 2 sons for two main reasons. First off, I had to find a school curriculum that aligned with the needs and philosophy of my own household as well as a place with a "caring" staff that I could trust, would look after them second only to my care. Secondly, it was important that as I pulled in the parking lot everyday that my little ones wanted to go to school. Especially when you have little ones that don't "tell you" what they need...I could see by the smiles on their faces that they were enjoying themselves.
Deciding where to send my child, while not in my care, is the toughest decision I have had to make as a parent. While pregnant, I toured many schools to make sure I chose the one that would be best for my child. When touring this school, I was blown away with the professionalism of the staff, the fun and engaging lesson plans and the cleanliness of the facility. Since my child has been at the school, I have been blown away with the love and care they show my child and me. I know that when I drop him off, he is surrounded by teachers that love him and care about him. I can't put into words what peace of mind this school gives me every single day!
I am amazed everyday at the quality of care that my child is receiving at The Goddard School. The amount of degreed teachers and knowledge that my son is getting is worth everything to me. I moved my son from another facility to The Goddard School because I found that they had a higher expectation of learning than the other schools in the area. I personally toured all the preschools around and found that The Goddard School has the feeling of family with a curriculum that will outshine any other facility. If you are looking for quality care, excellent curriculum, degreed teachers, caring and loving staff then The Goddard School should be where you put your child. I know that after being somewhere else, my child is going to excel in school and the future from attending The Goddard School.
The Goddard School has been excellent for both my daughters. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the students and their families. The teachers love the kids and it really shows in their daily interactions with them. They love going to school and are excited to tell us about their adventures each day. In addition to the normal colors, shapes, letters and numbers, they are exposed to Spanish, sign language, music, and sports. They practice manners and social skills. The school emphasizes good health and good nutrition which make a difference for little ones to be ready to learn. And my daughters have so much fun!! I love that Goddard helps push them to their potential and gives my girls such a great foundation for learning. I researched many other schools in this area and believe that Goddard School provides the best overall curriculum and learning environment. We love this school!
The Goddard School has been my daughters home since the summer. I can not say enough about the care that she receives at this school. Every morning I am welcomed with a smile, the front office staff is extremely personable and is truely concerned about my daughter and her educational outcome. The Goddard School has been a great addition to our family. My daughter has learned so much since starting in the preschool room and loves her teachers! Everyday when we head down the hill on 140, my daughter screams, "SCHOOL!" It is then that know I have made the right choice in sending her to The Goddard School in Hickory Flat. Amazing place for kids and families.
Before deciding on a Preschool for our two sons my husband and I made visits to several PreSchools in our local area and some not so local. We were on a mission to find the best learning environment for our sons as well as school where they would be both nutured and challenged to succeed. After a long search we chose Goddard. We enrolled our oldest son in the Private Pre-K program at Goddard because we felt they had the most to offer in both a learning and social environment to help give him a stong foundation. Both of our children have built confidence and self respect as well as respect for others while enrolled here, something we also encourage and teach at home. The Goddard School has been a great experience and we feel the right choice.
This school has been a great experience for both our children and our family. The staff is so friendly and the teachers are great. We really like the added programs like music as an added part of both of our childrens school experience. Our sons also love the ability to enroll in extra curricular activities like piano and fitkids. Both of our children have exceled so much since attending. Our two year old can count to 10 in Spanish and I am amazed at how well he identifies letters, numbers and colors. We feel that having them enrolled here is giving them an excellent start for their future in learning.
This is so much more than daycare. The Goddard School takes learning seriously, but they do it in such a fun way that the children don't even realize it! I can not say enough good things about the pre-k and kindergarten classes. My son has a late summer birthday and this private kindergarten was the perfect option and he has thrived with his amazing teacher! I knew that my infant was loved and cared for by the staff as if he was their own child.
We have been extremely pleased with the Goddard School. We have two sons enrolled and they have learned so much since they started here last fall. The teachers and staff are excellent and theyseem to truely care about each child. I also like the center based learning so that each child is challenged to each of their own abilities allowing them to excel and not be held to one standard.
My first daughter excelled at Goddard and I cannot believe how well my second daughter is doing there. She is only two and she knows her ABC's and can count in Spanish and English. She LOVES all her teachers and gets excited when it it's a "school day". We love our Goddard school!
We moved our children to Goddard last fall...Our daughter loves the pre-K program and will be in the kindergarten Class nex yr. Our son is thriving in his class and loves his friends. I really like the fact that they are exposed to sign language and spanish on a daily basis. The reports that they send home daily make it so I don't feel like I'm wondering what they did all day. Awesome staff who truly love the kids.
The Goddard School is awesome! The teachers and staff are fantastic! I know when I drop off my son at The Goddard School, he is in a great learning environment, with teachers and staff that love him just as much as he loves them!!! I couldn't ask for a better place!!!!

This is truly the best school in the area. They truly care about our children and we aren't just another number. My daughter has blossomed since we moved her to this amazing school. Thank you!

Goddard is an AMAZING school! The Director, Mrs. Stephanie, is a wonderful person who truly cares not only for the school, but for the staff members, each child, and the families. The staff at the Goddard School is extremely energetic and I can tell that they care for the children as if they were their own! The curriculum at this school is beyond belief. The students are learning basic Spanish in addition to English. Kindergarten students are right on target, if not ahead of where they should be. Pre-K is thriving, and the students are excited about learning new things. I can go on and on and on about how great this school is. It is a blessing to have The Goddard School in my life!
