GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

From the first time we stepped foot inside Goddard, we have felt like it was our sons home away from home. We are at peace knowing Ryder is at the best place for learning. We are so thankful to have Goddard and the staff to love on our son and teach him.
Ryder's Mother
Toddler Classroom
We love how happy our little one seems there. Getting daily pictures and updates makes us feel connected to her even when we're not with her, and we know that she is being well cared for.
Vivienne & Elliott's Mother
Toddler Classroom
The constant communication between Goddard staff (on up to the director) gives us peace of mind that our four month old is in the best hands. I also love that Goddard feels like a community. The administrative staff knows our daughters name, even though they don't teach her directly. We don't feel like "just a number" here
Elliott's Mother

The teachers and staff are wonderful. This school is run so efficiently and my daughter loves it there.

What Teachers Mean to Me

Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!

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.
