A truly five-star experience! Goddard Malvern is a school you can trust. The directors and owners are highly responsible and visibly present in the school, which made a huge difference to us. Our son’s teachers were wonderful—they created a warm, organized, and engaging environment for him. Even though we moved, the positive impact they had on our son remains. Highly recommend to any family looking for a supportive and professional daycare.
Amy ZApr 12, 2026The school truly is a wonderful atmosphere for young minds; and the staff is more than that …caring, mindful of the children’s safety, and extremely instrumental in their development! A very blessed organization in every aspect!
Dave TitusMar 21, 2026Friendly staff that really cares about each kid. The communication is consistent and timely. We are always excited by the updates throughout the day and the curriculum to keep the kids engaged and learning.
Matt FinkJan 16, 2026The Goddard School in Malvern is truly exceptional. Steve and Barbara, the owners, are warm, welcoming, and clearly dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for children and families. They’ve built a strong, supportive community that makes it easy to feel confident sending my child to school each day. The teachers are engaged—not only with the children, but also with parents. They prioritize safety, social-emotional development, and genuine care, which shows in everything they do. My child is thriving, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Renee MacerankaNov 5, 2025We’re incredibly happy with our experience at Goddard School Malvern. The teachers and staff are wonderful—warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. The curriculum is diverse and enriching, providing a great balance of learning and play. The owners are dedicated to continuously improving the classrooms and facilities, which shows their commitment to creating the best environment for the kids. Highly recommend!
Yingkai LiangNov 9, 2024The communication at all levels - owners, directors, and teachers - is excellent. The days are well-planned, structured, and full of fun! Our toddler sometimes wants to stay longer...clearly enjoying her time there. The classrooms are clean and cheerful. The playgrounds are secure and very well maintained. The security is so comforting. We really like and trust the owners and directors to make decisions and maintain communication with us. When we've had any issues come up, we have been able to talk through them constructively and there is a sense that we're all on the same team. And last, but not least - the STEM-based curriculum and the daily creative activities is fantastic. The Goddard team is so thoughtful and really make sure the kids enjoy coming from the many themed days bringing fun every week to special treats like voting on Election Day (ice cream sandwich vs popsicle) and getting to watch bay ducks hatch. We are very happy we enrolled our daughter at Goddard!!! Thank you, Goddard team!!!
