The Goddard School of Indian Land

I would recommend The Goddard School of Indian Land (TGSIL) to any parent! Ms. Dhwani, Ms. Tosha, Ms. Angeli, and ALL of the teachers are such wonderful ladies who always greet our daughter and I with a smile. We initially toured the Goddard School of Rock Hill, and it was an “okay” experience but we left feeling as though it was not the right fit. We then called TGSIL and scheduled a tour. From the moment we arrived, it just felt right. What really sealed the deal initially was two-fold. First, the tour was facilitated by the owner, Ms. Dhwani, who told us that she remains on-site every single day (unlike the other Goddard School owner who pops in occasionally). Second, on the day we toured we were blessed enough to meet Ms. Shaina, who ultimately became our daughter’s primary teacher! Ms. Shaina is the sweetest teacher and our daughter immediately gravitated toward her. Every day, Ms. Shaina is there to welcome our daughter with the warmest hug and she provides us constant updates and funny stories on our little girl. Ms. Shaina sends home her artwork each month and we are able to display it at home. Ms. Shaina also captures the most beautiful and creative photos of our little girl that always become the newest wallpaper on our phones! I am already emotional thinking about when our daughter may have to move to a different classroom due to her age, because of our love for and our daughter’s bond with Ms. Shaina. Not only does TGSIL have high security measures, but they offer nutritious hot lunches, and they keep everything sanitized on a daily basis. There is a safe and colorful outdoor play area for the students to explore and even an amazing gymnasium. I also could not imagine life without the updates provided on the phone app. Every diaper change, the amount of each type of food that our daughter eats, and the curriculum keeps us informed on what she is doing at any moment. From adorable photos of our daughter with beautifully written blurbs about what she is doing, to strategies on how to continue the curriculum at home, the app makes me feel not so guilty about having to work full-time because I know she is in such a wonderful and nurturing environment at TGSIL. TGSIL also sends out monthly calendars and has fun events all the time for not just the students but also the parents! We are currently looking forward to the upcoming “Water Days!” They make every parent and child feel important and I know that our daughter is in the best hands when she is there. To anyone who is unsure on whether The Goddard School of Indian Land is the right fit, I would recommend taking a tour to see for yourself!

Our child is happy, well adjusted, and learns every day. She loves all of her teachers and talks about them and her experiences and what she has learned at home. I've had nothing but positive interactions with every staff member. Its also clean and organized and they were happy to implement any OT behavior needs and talk openly during parent teacher conferences. It has felt very positive all around.

We fell in love with this daycare from the very first minutes. The owner gave us a wonderful tour, explaining the daily routine and thoughtfully walking us through all the details. The small group size (only 8 children) immediately stood out to us — it creates such a warm and attentive environment. We were incredibly lucky there was one spot available, and we signed the paperwork the same day. Our child had a very smooth transition. The teachers were gentle, patient, and found the right approach, carefully engaging her in activities without any pressure. Daily updates with photos and reports mean so much to me — I always know how her day went. The teachers are kind, caring, and truly involved, and the entire staff is very supportive. This place really feels like a second family where you and your child are always welcomed.

We love TGSIL! My daughter (now 2) has been going here since she was 6 weeks old. They have a big sanitizing unit for toys which was a big selling feature for me. I get pictures throughout the day and notified when they are in need of anything. Convenient location and top notch staff. Truly our second family. Thank you for having us!!

We absolutely LOVE the Goddard School of Indian Land! Our 2.5 daughter started there in July 2025 and is absolutely flourishing. The entire staff go above an beyond, whether it's in the front when you arrive or in the classroom with the teachers. We immediately felt a connection with the owner and the team which gave us reassurance our child was in good hands. The teachers are loving and caring towards our daughter and all the kids for that matter! They focus on growth and development with creativity and fun! I love that they have more structed programs. I highly recommend the Goddard school of Indian Land for any child's development and care.
