The Goddard School of Edina

The Goddard community has been extremely welcoming to my family. They communicate effectively and timely. I appreciate the openness to ensure every child is met where they are and where they need extra support. The teachers are flexible and caring. Additionally, they understand the importance of going outside and moving throughout the classroom as needed for child development. I would recommend this childcare center to everyone in the area.

Goddard has truly exceeded our expectations in caring for my children's health and wellbeing. Both of my kids have specific health needs, and Goddard has consistently demonstrated exceptional attention to detail. They ask the right questions, maintain open communication, and educate their staff about these important issues. Additionally, their proactive approach extends beyond basic care; they've organized fundraising activities to support research related to my children's conditions. Goddard makes life easier by keeping us well-informed through their app, emails, phone calls, calendars, and menus. Their clear communication helps keep our family organized and ensures that my children receive the best possible care during their time at preschool. Our kids have been showing great readiness for Kindergarten. He is curious, excited about learning, and enjoys exploring new activities. Overall, I'm grateful for the dedicated and compassionate staff at Goddard who consistently go above and beyond to support our family's needs.

I am pleased to have a successful relationship with the Goddard School of Edina, specifically with the franchise owner, Hetal. During my over 20 years of experience working at a local paper and packaging supply company, I have consistently received a steady volume of orders and predictable scheduling from Hetal. I greatly appreciate her effective communication and successful business practices.

We can and do recommend Goddard to anybody who will listen. The school is clean and safe, the curriculum is great, but I want to spend my time talking about the staff. The staff has made our experience at Goddard unforgettable. We love every single person we’ve interacted with, not because they’re smart (they are), or they give our child a great education (they do), but because we KNOW they are teaching our son how to be a compassionate, kind, giving, and nurturing person. You can get a great education in a lot of places in Minnesota (we are very lucky), but we suspect that it’s less common to be moved to tears thinking about how Good the staff is at Goddard. Hetal has been an absolutely world class team and we completely adore them.

Our 2 young children love their time here! We were unhappy at their previous school and eventually had to be "that family" that pulled our kids with nowhere to go, but The Goddard School of Edina welcomed us as soon as they had room for our kiddos and we could not be happier to have made the switch! Their days are full of fun, yet educational activities and we love seeing and hearing about their daily adventures from both our kids and the Tadpoles app at the end of the day. In addition to regular educational stations and activities during the day, they also get to do Spanish classes, water/splash days, kid-friendly yoga, and more! We're so thankful we found The Goddard School of Edina.
