The Goddard School of Chesapeake, Chesapeake | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Our kids have experienced a few daycares in their time due to moving around over the last few years and Goddard Chesapeake is our second Goddard School. I can honestly say I have never been more impressed with a daycare than I have been with Goddard Chesapeake. From the moment you walk in it is apparent that it is different – in the best way possible. The best way I can describe it to someone who has not had the pleasure of experiencing it is it’s “all hands on deck”. There is no job too small or beneath anyone, if it needs to be done it will be done. Every person in that building knows our daughter because they have assisted her with something or given her a smile and/or hug at some point in time when she needed it most. What continues to astound me is how smoothly things are communicated to those who need to know. For instance, our daughter needs extra attention at times due to having a difficult time transitioning from the elementary school she attends each morning as part of her IEP. The teachers, director, and owner all share information in regards to what our daughter is positively responding to as well as what isn’t working. We could not appreciate this more as we have full confidence that 100% effort is always being made to make our babe feel comfortable and safe. It is also incredibly apparent how much the staff cares for each other as well as their kiddos. You can see it on their faces, through the patience and kindness constantly on display, the pride they have when speaking about the kids, and the support they give each kid during times of need. I personally refer to the teachers, director, and owner as angels as that is exactly how I think of them. What I do not look forward to is the day when our little girl ages out and has to leave as it will be a day full of tears for all involved!

We love The Goddard School Chesapeake! My daughter has been going for four months and it has been such a positive experience for her. The lesson plans are well thought out and integrate learning, fun, social interaction and responsibility. The teachers are kind and compassionate yet enforce appropriate boundaries and redirection for a classroom setting that is lively, educational and fun yet under control. My daughter has really blossomed since starting. She has become more independent and interactive with children and really enjoys the activities and songs she learns. My husband and I feel comfortable knowing she’s in a safe and nurturing environment. The school was wonderful in the early weeks, when the transition into childcare can be hard on the whole family, allowing us to call whenever needed to check in. The owners and staff are always kind and greet you with a happy face and there are always fun activities and events to participate in. We are so glad we chose The Goddard School Chesapeake!
