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

I am very grateful to have my daughter at Goddard. Firstly, Mr. Shekar the owner is extremely caring about his school and the experience of the children as well as the parents. He always addresses my concerns with understanding and attentively with quick solutions. The teachers have been phenomenal. I have had her there for about a year and a half, she has rotated across 3 classroom levels so far and has had several teachers. The ones that stood out to me the most were Ms.Kim from the crocs class (who is very organized and structured) , Ms.Reagan from baboons (very helpful and communicative), Ms.Dawn from Cheetahs (one of my favorites as she has shown true care for my daughter, her learning, her comfort in the classroom socially, her energy and interaction with the children is amazing you can tell how much they love her and vice versa – I think my daughter has learned the most under her and Ms.Noah’s class, and they have both helped a lot to make sure she’s on track with her potty routine. Ms.Noah is really great as well, they both communicate with me constantly and this is so helpful for me to know what’s going on with my daughter.), Ms.Cici is always so kind and loving towards my daughter as well. Ms.Natalie and Ms.Amari I believe are assistant teachers – they are also so sweet and helpful. The curriculum is amazing. Not only do I notice my daughter learning new things on a daily basis, but she also never wants to leave school!!! And she gets excited when I tell her we’re going to school today. I’m sure this will change when she’s a teenager lol, but it gives me a peace of mind knowing she is so happy here. I have no complaints – the front desk admin was a bit uptight for a while, but they have definitely improved their interactions after listening to our feedback! Which we appreciate. They also do lots of fun celebrations and extracurricular things for the kids to learn and have fun. One thing I would recommend is an option to provide school lunch for the kids. We had this in her previous daycare, and it takes a lot of the stress off the parents. I would pay for it of course. All in all, love this place and I’m looking to put my soon to come baby here as well.

We tried a couple daycares and end up happy with The Goddard School Riverview. Let’s me highlight its outstanding attributes:
Environment: cleanliness is remarkable and creates a safe and hygiene place, my kids barely got sick because they clean up toy and room every day.
Technology: every classroom has big monitor screen with computer to enhance the learning process and provide a modern and engaging approach to education.
Teachers and staff: AMAZING! Teachers stand out with their high qualifications and exemplify both kindness and care. Their enthusiasm and positive attitude contribute significantly to the good positive atmosphere in the classroom. Staff are very nice and supportive, they know all of the kids and their parents, we enjoy talking to them when coming to school. The principal is professional and always open the door for any of your concern or questions. This is notably different from other daycares that you have to make an appointment to see the principal, and they sometimes just ignore you. Mr. Shekar is very friendly and professional, he understands your corncerns and he listens to you and will make the right things to the kids.
Curriculum: the curriculum for Preschool and VPK kids is thoughtfully designed to promote the development of young learners.
We are so glad that we finally find a great school, our kid loves to go to school everyday and learn a lot from the teachers and her friends.

First and foremost, Goddard school has to be the best school that I have come across. I don’t think there will be school out there that can be compare to Goddard.

I have went through multiple of schools and nothing will be able to compare to them. From the owner, staff and school teachers. Everyone is so nice and kind. They really treat each and every kids so nice. My family and I felt so welcoming and never have questions or doubt because they are very transparent to all of us.

Before my son started Goddard school, I was really nervous because I had really bad experience from other school. I’m glad that I gave them a chance because since my son started and being in Ms. Sonia class. He has been thriving and learning so much since he started here. My son get excited to go to school and always talk about he’s teachers, friends, and always asked to go to school every day if he can. Ms. Sonia has made a difference and helping my son so much. I’m so thankful that I was able to let my son attend. He wasn’t like this to prior starting Goddard.

Highly recommend Goddard school!
