The Goddard School

Due to limited space, I'll get right to the point. This school is hands down the best Fort Mill has to offer! Due to previous experiences with other schools we hesitated to enroll our son in any school but then decided to take a tour of Goddard. I was shocked to see how clean, calm and collected the school was. The classrooms were not full of screaming children but just the opposite. Reason being...they were HAPPY, felt SAFE and the environment was properly structured and managed. The owners were clearly fully engaged with the day to day operations of this facility. Four months later we couldn't be happier with this school. The directors and teachers truly enjoy their jobs and the children. It's not just a pay check to the staff at Fort Mill Goddard School. Kudos to Amy and Bill for selecting only the best/qualified members to join their team. Yes, it's more costly than other schools in the area but worth every penny. Experience has shown us that you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to your child's health, safety and education. We would never send our son anywhere else! Highly recommend Fort Mill Goddard School!

My daughter's experience at the Goddard School in Fort Mill, SC was first rate because of the quality of her teachers and the nurturing environment created by the school's administrators. She entered Goddard in January and immediately fit right in with her classmates because her teachers did an outstanding job of making her feel welcome and part of the class. She just started Kindergarten this month at a local public school, and is more than prepared for the curriculum she is encountering there. I have, and will continue, to recommend the Goddard School to anyone with prescholers in the Fort Mill area.

I have 2 children at this school and we have been here for 2 years. The owners are very involved in the school, with the kids, the curriculums, and the teachers happiness. The teachers are TOP notch (no turnover!) - they create wonderful lesson plans for every age group with art, music, science, reading...everything that you would want your child to have and learn. Each teacher cares greatly about the children and their needs. The loving environment creates a perfect place for your child to learn and develop. It is amazing to watch my children change, grow and learn so much every single day. My oldest comes home with new songs, knows some Spanish, has started developing computer skills, and so much more. My youngest is in the infant room, and gets so much attention, care, and love from the wonderful women in that room. Also, one of the best things about the school is the fact that the same kids have been there since we started. Every time my kids move up to the next level class, so do all of their wonderful friends. Overall, this school is amazing and we are so thankful to have found such a wonderful, caring school. I would recommend it to anyone!

I read the 2 reviews that were posted and noticed the dates were not that recent. I was so happy with this school for my child. He was very happy and loved to go to school each day. This past year many things have changed. He does not like to go, not happy with his teachers and I have also noticed a change in the staff and how there is a big turn around with the staff. This school is not inexpensive to attend and I expect my child to get the best they can offer and lately this is not happening. I am going to check around for other schools for my child.

I have never rated a school, and wanted to do this almost about 3 days after my son's enrollment there. The excellency of the school is unbeatable. My daughter has been to quite a few day care and my son was in one before. And never I've got this much positive things to say about any of the others. The review space here is limited here otherwise I can write a long essay about the superiority of the school from every perspective you can think of. I feel really luck to have my son there and hope other parents that are looking will find this outstanding school and as happy as I am. Ok, I was going to stop there, but have to babbling a few more. The administration/staff/teacher are very caring and loving, very well qualified. My little guy never wants to leave the school.
