Our two children, ages 5 and 2, have been attending The Goddard School - Bethlehem PA since August 2012. The owners, the Director/Assistant Director and the teacherse have been exceptional. Our children had a great transition to the new school and everyone at the school went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable. The curriculum has been great as our kids are exposed to more than reading and math but science, arts, computers etc. The PreK room has a smart board which has taken the curriculum to a new level. We love to hear about our childrens days and what they learned is always more than I expected them to learn. The school is on top of our childrens medical needs due to their allergies and they keep up-to-date records and the entire staff is notified of all of the kids with allergies so there are never any issues. The staff is quick to call if they have a question or would like to tell us something. We love receiving a daily report about our childrens day with a special note about their date so I feel up-to-date on what happened during their day. The entire staff is caring, loving and seem to love being at the school and that makes a world of difference to us a parents. We cant say enough about how great this school has been for our children.

My daughter has been at the Goddard School for seven months, she arrived to the infant room being 6 months old. We are very happy with the School because they do care about both children and parents. I like the fact that we bring our daughters food so we are sure about the quality of the meals she is getting and also that she is eating what we eat at home. At the infant room teachers work to accommodate parents and childrens needs and follow the schedule that you keep at home. We also like the fact that children get exposed to other languages, particularly Spanish, that they work with art and music, and spend time reading. Teachers are very good at engaging infants so they are not just been looked after, children are learning and developing both physical and intellectual skills. The Goddard School in Bethlehem has diversity both in terms of staff and children, which is plus to us. The ratio between children and teachers is ideal: 4/1. We also like the facilities, which in opposition to some day cares in which a house has been converted into a school, here everything has been designed for its purpose and is clean and well kept. I am having another baby soon and would love to keep both children at the Goddard School. I would highly recommend it!

Our daughter has been coming to the Goddard School (Bethlehem) since August 2011. Weve had an amazing experience. When our daughter first started she was very shy, quiet and almost always unwilling to go to school due to her new environment & her first time being away from her parents. However the faculty staff were very understanding and compassionate to her feelings and she eventually became excited to go to school. Her current teacher has instilled a love for learning in her so much that if she doesnt know something she looks it up even at 5 yrs old its incredible. Our daughter is about to start kindergarten and there is no other place we would want her to be. Another aspect of Goddard we like is how welcoming and approachable the owners and faculty are to any issues. Weve noticed a significant improvement in our daughters social development; gaining confidence, making friends, learning the social sciences, earth science, arts, crafts, & basic things that all pre-K kids should really experience as part of the curriculum and not just the academics. Its made our daughter more well rounded. Overall weve had a good experience with Goddard and I would recommend it to parents who are looking for day care program.

I have had my son in The Goddard School for more than a year and without a doubt it is the best day care facility around. Before joining Goddard, my son had been in three other day cares in the Lehigh Valley and taken out within two weeks. I found the other day cares to be dirty, the staff was complacent and the children seemed to be miserable. I know my son was. I was thrilled when I took a tour and spoke with the administrative staff and the owners at Goddard. The staff is genuinely pleasant, courteous and caring. The owners are wonderful and helpful with any of your concerns. I leave my son in their care and have NO worries about his safety and well being. So far the teachers my son has had are happy, energetic, loving and caring. The fact that my son says his teachers names and that he misses them is an indication that their doing something right. At any point you can sit and talk with the teachers and/or any member of the staff and discuss your childs progress I highly recommend this school to anyone thinking of putting their child in day care. Its more than a "day care", its an educational experience. The activities keep them busy and keep their minds constantly stimulated.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how much, both my little girl, and my family LOVES the Goddard School. When my daughter was born it was an interesting journey checking out many other daycare options before settling with the Goddard School. With all the others my gut just never felt right and I wasnt about to leave my most precious possession to anyone less than I thought would take care of her properly. Since being a part of the Goddard School we know a lot of the staff by name. My kid is constantly learning and having fun. She never fights to be let off and every time I pick her up I am greeted with a smile. Not only from my daughter Hazel but from the staff as well. Her knowledge has grown immensely being apart of their programs and I cant say Thank You enough to the Goddard School for taking proper care of my best Buddy. I would recommend this School to anyone!!! Thank you again!!! Brian Strauser - Hazels Daddy!!! :)

Our daughter attended the pre-k program at the Goddard School in Bethlehem last year and had an amazing and memorable experience. The faculty provided a safe, healthy and enjoyable environment for our daughter to learn and socialize. We have just recently enrolled our daughter in the Summer Program and she is very excited to return to see her friends and teachers. We were very pleased to learn that the Goddard School has enhanced their Summer Program to provide an even more diversified learning experience. The school has also introduced new technology that will allow us to receive updates on our daughter’s activities and memorable moments throughout the day via e-mail incorporating her day with ours. As other parents know, leaving your child in someone elses care is one of the hardest choices to make but this school has earned our trust and partnership for our daughters care and development.

My daughters leave the school almost every day chatting about something they learned or singing a tune they were taught in school. I can tell they LOVE this school! My older daughter (4) even asks to go on weekends! :) Both my girls love it and I love it just as much because they are happy and I get to know each and every day what they did, how they are learning and what they did. I even get pictures of them throughout the day and a daily activity report at the end of the day with a picture and a list of Art, Movement, Motor, Science, Social, Language and Computer Activities throughout their day. I couldnt be happier and wish that my girls could learn from people who care this much thier entire life. They really do care about your children, the curriculum they teach and how your children learn. Its amazing and I cannot say enough good things about this school!
