Welcome to Our School

The Goddard School of Chantilly (Westfields) is a warm and nurturing space where extraordinary awaits your child each and every day.

We opened in 2003, committed to creating the kind of fun, enriching learning environment that we wanted for our own three children. We have two nationally recognized accreditations, demonstrating our continued commitment to excellence. We offer full-time and part-time programs, including an accredited Kindergarten program. We welcome new families every month! Call to schedule a tour and visit us just off Route 28 at Westfields Boulevard. Enrolling for Summer and Fall 2024 now!

Meet Risa & Brad

Owners
Mr. Brad and Ms. Risa are the proud owners of both Goddard Schools in Chantilly; Chantilly (Westfields) opened in 2003, and Chantilly (East Gate) opened at the end of 2011. Risa has a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and serves as the Senior Education Director for the schools. Risa was previously a 4th and 5th grade teacher, so she knows well that an exceptional school depends on exceptional teachers. Risa oversees the hiring of every teacher we invite to join The Goddard School, and, as Senior Education Director, she makes sure that the environment we provide is caring, fun, safe, and educational. Brad is the business manager of both schools. Brad was trained as a lawyer, and he brings ten years of experience in the banking industry to the business side of running the school.

GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

My kids absolutely love their teachers and the Goddard School. I see the developmental differences in our youngest child who started the Goddard School very early vs. our older child who had a nanny until he was 2.5 The differences are significant and I'm so thankful for the fabulous teachers and administrative staff.
Charles & Connor's Mother
Infant Classroom
The staff has been wonderful for our son's development. From when he started as in infant to now being in the bear cubs classroom, he has always had teachers who care so much about the children and clearly love what they do.
Michael & Baby's Father
Toddler Classroom
Everyone has been nothing but kind, helpful, friendly and attentive. My daughter LOVES coming to school here!
Vera's Mother

Everyone at the school is so friendly and you can tell that the teachers love their jobs with how engaging they are with the children. Tenure speaks volumes, and its great to see that the teachers are happy and well taken care of.

LEARNING YOUR CHILD LOVES

We work tirelessly to ensure children thrive in a healthy, safe and warm environment. Within this secure and nurturing environment, children can discover their unique gifts.

Our programs go beyond academics and help children develop important social-emotional skills like kindness, empathy, responsible decision making and more.  

In our classrooms, creativity and curiosity blossom as children discover the wonder of learning. Through fun learning experiences (F.L.EX.®), your child will develop academic and social-emotional skills that will help them feel ready to take on the world.
