Private Schools

False ADVERTISMENT!!! As a parent, I feel like other parents should know that the school claims to teach children yoga, Spanish, etc... but that is not always the case, it just depends upon what teacher you have and if that teacher wants to and/or has the knowledge to teach it..... So I feel like the price isn't worth it and they're not living up the "Goddard' name. Also I worked there, and for almost a good year I watched one little girl disrupt and disrespect her peers by yelling, screaming, and hitting her classmates during learning time and I felt so bad other kid's parents paid for their kids to learn there and the others wanted to learn, but this 1 child almost made it impossible for them to, or for the Kindergarten teacher to teach... I felt so bad for the teacher and kids that had to deal with this little girl and there was no help from management at the front... it's like they would let anything happen so they could collect the money! This was a good 5 years ago, but I feel like people should know and be hand's on and involved with their kids, even when they're on school.... so you don't get fooled & know what's going on in a caregiver/learning setting.

Tonight the last of our three girls graduated from The Goddard School in Mechanicsville, and it was a bittersweet evening for sure. For three years, we have grown to love the folks at this wonderful pre-school, and our kids have grown in social skills and in education, but most importantly in love. Everyone, from the non-teaching staff to the teachers to the directors and all the way to the owners, have come to know our girls and have shared in their growth. These people have not only been their teachers, but their friends and ours. Our older two girls loved to go pick up their youngest sister this past year, because they could see their old teachers, get hugs and remember the joyful times they had in those walls. What a special place The Goddard School in Mechanicsville has been to our family! Thank you all for your love, and for preparing our girls for public school and the world!

Pretty good but 8th grade was meh because we got new teachers who were sort of weird and boring

A niche' school located in the quiet West End that is focused on "collaborative" learning to help many of their struggling students receive their "best effort" due to small class sizes and remedial Business Practices. After much phone tag with-the admissions department and trying to gain a grasp on how the day to day of this business is ran. Yes, I said business, not educational institution. Upon final review of the school and campus seeking enrollment for our children, it was decided that it was in our best effort to forgo the lush campus, clique' atmosphere and athletics program for our children's educational future.

Love this school 😍

If you're going to spend this much money don't make your kid spend an hour every day learning about religion. They can figure that out and discover The Messiah on their own when they're older... The school does have great trails around the school but nasty looking lake and over priced tuition.

cool

I went here for 9 years and there were some amazing teachers and people. It made me a better student and better person.

Alhamdullah, I'm glad that I went to and I enjoyed the years I was there and it really has a special place in my heart . I hope that Allah blesses and grants Jannah to the teachers and all of the staff of Iqra.

New to the area. Both of my kids (9 &3) go to daycare/summer camp here. Excellent group of folks watching them and taking care of them throughout the day. Plenty of activities with the older kids. The staff is very friendly and courteous. Cannot say enough good things about the service our family has received from this facility! We will definitely be considering them for our children's schooling in the future.

We've been at Dayspring for 11 years now and it has been a great place for our kids to grow and learn. The teachers are compassionate and caring and my kids are receiving a top-notch education. Dayspring is consistently producing college-ready graduates with a heart for serving Christ and serving others.
