The Goddard School of Chalfont — Local services in New Britain Township

I cannot speak highly enough of the Goddard School of Chalfont. This school has been an absolute blessing for our family since our little one was just a year old. As we now prepare to transition to full time grade school (5 years later), I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we've had with this school, its loving teachers, and its devoted leaders.

From the very beginning, it was evident that the teachers at Goddard are not only skilled professionals but also genuinely caring individuals. They have nurtured and supported our child every step of the way, fostering an environment where he could learn, grow, and thrive. Their dedication is truly remarkable.

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the owner, Staci, went above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of both the children and their families. Her communications and transparency were invaluable, providing us with peace of mind during an uncertain period. We will forever be grateful for her leadership and compassion.

I still vividly remember the first week of school for our little one. The warmth and kindness shown by the staff, especially Miss Melissa, Miss Lauren, and his 3 teachers at the time made the transition seamless, even for a hesitant (occasionally over-emotional) parent like myself. They were incredibly understanding and accommodating, offering support every step of the way. The regular updates, including photos and meal reports, became a highlight of our day and helped us feel connected to our child's experience at school.

As we prepare to say goodbye to Goddard, I can't help but feel more than just a tinge of sadness. Elizabeth Stone's quote, "Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body," rings true for me. For five years, my husband and I have entrusted Goddard with our hearts, and they exceeded all expectations in caring for it. I am eternally grateful for the love, support, and exceptional care they provided to our family.

Thank you, Goddard School of Chalfont, for being more than just a daycare. You have been a second home for our child, a source of comfort and joy, and a cornerstone of his early years. We will cherish the memories, friendships, and lessons learned...

The Goddard School is by far the BEST school in the area! Our son, Zach has attended Goddard for the past 3 years- he loves his teachers and all the fiendships he had made over the past few years. The Goddard school will always hold a very special place in our hearts as they are more than just a school for us. Owner, Staci & Executive Director, Melissa and the rest of the staff are truly awesome! They were compassionate and understanding during a very challenging year for us in 2013. I had some unexpected health issues while simultaneously going through a job loss. They were always positive and encouraging through this difficult time in our lives and we will always be grateful. As for the ciriculum, Zach has exceled in every classroom he has been in since attending Goddard and he holds very special bonds with many of his teachers. It is apparent that every teacher is committed to the children and their success. He is now in the pre-k class and counts over 100, writes his letters, uses reasoning and deduction skills to problem solve and he is a very confident & articulate 4 1/2 year old. The communication from the school is fantastic and completely electronic which is an added bonus. Every day one or more alerts are sent to your e-mail where you can easily view an app called Tadpoles which has pictures of what your child is doing in the classroom. There is also a detailed progress report of what your child learned that day and the skills were employed in the learning activity. We are looking forward to pre-k graduation but it will definitely be bittersweet for us because of all the fond memories and great education Zach received from the teachers at the Goddard School. Please schedule a visit and check out this school for your child-you...

Both of my children attended Goddard, and I can say it has been one of the best decisions we made when picking a place to help our children grow and learn at a young age.

From the beginning, we felt welcomed and confident that our kids were in a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment. The teachers are nothing short of amazing. They’re warm, patient, and genuinely care about each child’s development and well-being. Our kids often came home talking about fun activities, new songs they learned, and the exciting things they did with their friends. The staff also goes the extra mile to communicate with parents regularly, sharing updates and photos, which we truly appreciated.

The daycare runs smoothly. From drop-off and pick-up procedures to cleanliness, safety protocols, and special events, everything is handled with care and efficiency.

We’re incredibly grateful for the positive foundation Goddard provided for both of our kids. It’s a place filled with love, laughter, learning, and lasting memories. Highly recommended to any family looking for more than just childcare and a place where...
