Molly SmithLocal Guide · 36 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Molly has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We have had such a wonderful experience at Goddard! Our son has been attending since he was about 10 months old, and now at 2½, he has been in several different classrooms. Throughout each transition, we have been consistently impressed with the teachers and the overall quality of care he has received.
One of the things we love most about Goddard is how cohesive the school feels. The teachers seem to be on the same page when it comes to planning, learning, and project-based activities, which creates such a consistent experience for the kids. They do an amazing job making every day exciting and engaging.
They also go above and beyond to make the summer especially fun, with sprinkler and water days, magicians, animal visits, tie-dye projects, and so many other special activities. It is clear that a lot of thought and effort goes into creating memorable experiences for the children.
We have been extremely pleased with our experience and, most importantly, with the care and attention our son has received. We feel very comfortable knowing he is in such a fun, caring, and engaging environment. We would absolutely recommend Goddard to other families!

The best preschool!!
I moved my child through nearly 3 different schools before finding this wonderful place. My child has been studying here since they were 3 years old all the way until starting kindergarten.
What makes this school truly stand out is that most of the teachers have been working here for a very long time, which brings great stability and experience. Everyone is so dedicated, enthusiastic, and genuinely loves the kids. My child absolutely adores their teachers.
From a parent’s perspective, the curriculum is excellent, the facilities are always clean, and the environment is incredibly warm and friendly.
A huge thank you to all the amazing teachers!
We love Goddard School 😍😘

Highly recommend The Goddard School of Snohomish. Both of our daughters have gone here (one is now in public school; the younger is still attending), and the experience has been consistently positive. The teachers and staff are wonderful, and it’s clear this is a place where people stay - many have been here a long time, which is a great sign and made us feel really good about our choice.
