Our decision to switch to Goddard has been the best decision weve made for our kids. After discovering some major problems with our care provider at the time, we visited Eric and Brenda one afternoon to view the school. It took almost no time for us to make the change, and Brenda and Eric worked to find spots for both of our boys as quickly as possible. The best way to describe the excellence of Goddard - Bel Air is to tell our story. Our sons came to Goddard at ages 3 1/2 (Aidan) and 6 months (Riley). Aidan had spent two prior years at another local pre-school that we came to discover was not providing the services for which we paid. As a result, when Aidan began at Goddard, some of the quantifiable areas of development were lacking, particularly gross and fine motor skills. In just 3 months, Aidans developmental levels were evaluated and we met with his teacher for a conference. His improvement in fine motor skills, gross motor skills and overall behavior was well documented, and verified by his school work. His teacher communicated with us daily and showed a true interest in his success. As Aidan moved into Pre-K, the support and effort of the teachers remained constant. By the time he was assessed for Kindergarten, Aidan had more than 100 sight words, could complete basic addition and subtraction problems, and had developed excellent hand-writing skills. Equally important is the fact that the teachers at Goddard still come to see his swim meets, soccer games and other activities, and he is always excited to see them. Our son Riley started in the baby room at Goddard and is now in the same room where Aidan started. The teachers are just as devoted to his development. We couldnt be happier with his educational progress. His fine and gross motor skills are excellent, and his interest and excitement for learning is unparalleled. Just as important, Riley loves his teachers and friends and talks about them often. He always looks to give a hug to Eric and Brenda when he leaves for the day, and he is excited every morning to get to school. We love Goddard, and so do our kids. We have become close friends with many of the families of the other kids in Goddard, and I imagine those friendships will last a lifetime.

The Goddard of Bel Air provides exceptional care for children six weeks - preschool. I have been in the education field for 20 years, including three years in educational franchising. I have two children who attended this center. The education they received prepared them to be very successful in kindergarten. The teachers are second-to-none, and truly adore and nurture your children. The owners are fantastic, and care for the children and staff like nowhere I have seen before. I recommend this school to everyone I know who is looking for care.

"Exceptional Educational Rigor" The Goddard School of Bel Air provides an outstanding curriculum that includes variety and challenges the students appropriately. My daughter has been a student there for the past two years and she is well ahead of her peers that attend other preschools. Also, the teachers are excellent and all highly-qualified in the field of education. The Goddard School of Bel Air is a worthwhile investment for my daughters success in the future.

This school from the Directors and Owners to the teachers has been so great for my daughter! We were on the wait list for about a year but totally worth it. She now has been enrolled for almost 2 years and it is in a different league than her previous daycare. I was amazed with her progress immediately. If you are looking for an educational, professional and loving place this is ideal!

My daughter loves this school! It is well rounded and keeps children focused and continuously learning rather than just free play all day. Between the teachers and management we could not have found a better daycare!
