The Goddard School of Doylestown (Farm Lane)

My children (1&5) have had the best experience at the Goddard School of Doylestown (Farm Lane). I am so grateful, especially as my oldest goes off to first grade in the fall, for how advanced and well prepared the Goddard school as made them. The teachers and staff are amazing, and have helped me become a better parent. They’ve helped tremendously with difficult transitions, like potty training, and they make school truly feel like a second home for my kids. We have made great connections with the other families and often spend time together socially outside of school. I really don’t know how we would do all that we do without the Goddard School of Doylestown (Farm Lane)!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this Goddard School. My son started as an infant and is soon to graduate kindergarten and over these six years, each teacher has helped him to grow and develop both academically and socially. I can say that each teacher in each class has taken a true interest in my child and created an environment that feels uniquely personal and educational. I would recommend this Goddard without question and so appreciate the care and passion this staff has shown to my son and our family consistently over the past six years.

We had several disappointing experiences with Goddard, which is disheartening after being with them for five years. While the school responded appropriately to a serious incident involving our child and a teacher, it was a distressing situation that I believe could have been prevented. Additionally, after our son was diagnosed with a chronic illness, the school refused to take him back when we declined to sign a waiver of liability, which, after consulting with our medical team and comparing with other schools, we found to be unusually harsh. While we, and our children, loved many of the teachers at Goddard, there has been constant staff turnover in recent years with minimal communication from the office about these changes. The frequent departure of our favorite teachers speaks volumes about the environment, in my opinion. Overall, the school feels disorganized and inconsistent.

We highly recommend the Goddard School! The teachers are all phenomenal and their dedication and commitment have allowed our son to thrive the last two years! He absolutely loves going to school to see his friends and teachers and we owe that to the culture the Goddard School has created!

Our little one attended Goddard from 3 months to almost 3 yrs. Many of our issues come from dealing with Eileen, the owner. Our kiddo got his foot stuck on one of the bookshelves and ended up with a toddler fracture. Till this day, that book shelve still sits in the classroom. It has not been removed. To top it all off, we were sent to collections since the schools didn’t pay the outstanding medical bill. We tried reaching out to Eileen, left several voicemails, and did not hear back. It took them over a year and a half to finally pay the medical bill. We also made it known of dairy sensitivity and other food items we did not want our kiddo having. This was not fallowed, there were several times where the foods were given out against our request. During this past school year, they have increased prices twice “as a result of rising employment” and “to maintain” faculty. I doubt any of them are getting that increase. There has been several instances where our kiddo has come home with bruises or marks and no one could tell us what happened. Bad things aside - the teachers are wonderful with the kids and they deserve so much more support. .
