The Goddard School of Scottsdale

We have had such an incredible experience at The Goddard School in Scottsdale. Our daughter has been attending for the past 2.5 years, starting when she was just five months old, and we truly could not imagine sending her anywhere else. The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing, the level of care, attention, and genuine love they show the children is unmatched. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such a nurturing and supportive environment every single day. Miss Bettina, the director, is phenomenal. She is always on top of everything happening at the school and does a wonderful job keeping parents informed about updates, changes, and upcoming events. Her communication and leadership make such a difference. Our daughter is always so happy and content when she’s there, which speaks volumes. One of our favorite parts of the day is seeing her infant room teacher, Miss Mariah, every morning—we always stop to say hello before heading to her classroom. It’s such a small moment, but it really shows the bond she’s built and how much she truly loves the people who care for her. The school also does a fantastic job keeping us informed with regular updates on her day, meals, naps, activities, and the crafts and lessons they’re working on. We always feel connected and in the loop. Sarah Ann, her teacher is so special. The combination of strong communication, thoughtful curriculum, and truly dedicated teachers makes this school so special. We are beyond grateful for the impact they’ve had on our daughter’s early years and would highly recommend them to any family.

We couldn’t be happier with the experience our family had at this preschool. Both of our sons attended, and it’s been a truly wonderful journey from start to finish. The environment is warm, supportive, and full of energy — a place where children are encouraged to grow, explore, and build confidence every single day. The teachers are absolutely amazing. They bring so much heart, patience, and dedication to their work. Each of our boys was treated as an individual, with care and attention tailored to their unique personalities and learning styles. It was clear that the staff were not only passionate about early childhood education, but also deeply committed to creating a positive, enriching space for all the kids. We’ve seen so much growth in both of our sons — not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The preschool has a truly striving environment that sets a strong foundation for lifelong learning. We’re so grateful for the experience and highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a caring, high-quality early education setting.

We could not have been more pleased with The Goddard School of Scottsdale. All the teachers are very kind and caring to our son. Scott and Bettina provided our family with a short-term care for our son in a time of need until he could start at a preschool near our home. If it wasn't for the long commute, we would still be with Goddard today. I highly recommend this facility and staff!

We’ve had a great experience at The Goddard School. All the staff are so warm and welcoming, and we want to give special recognition to Ms. Stephanie. She always goes above and beyond with the kids whether that’s making fun art projects each week or sending sweet photo updates throughout the day, she ensures the classroom is a warm, and loving space. Her genuine care and connection with the kids is truly special. My son absolutely beams when he sees her and drop off is a breeze. Ms. Stephanie is a gift to the school. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she and the Goddard family have given our son.

Amazing teachers, staff and leadership! We were impacted by the LA fires and Goddard School of Scottsdale welcomed our family to the community with open arms. We felt incredibly grateful to send our 1.5 year old and 3.5 year old. Every day was a happy dropoff and pickup. The school sends several daily pictures and the schedule is very organized along with several extracurricular options like intro to soccer for our 3.5 year old. Scott was fantastic and we received thoughtful updates from teachers on a daily basis. Our 3.5 year old daughter acclimated to the school quickly and our 1.5 year old son started daycare for the first time. Thank you Goddard - wish we had a school this amazing in LA!
