Meet Stephanie On-Site Owner

I am the on-site owner and very excited to be a part of The Goddard School® family. As a Stanford grad and senior executive in Fortune 500/Global 50 companies, I experienced first-hand the value that a strong educational foundation and love of learning can impart. As a working parent, I struggled to locate a quality program for my 2 daughters when they were toddlers. My goal is therefore to provide a school that enriches your child’s emotional, social, intellectual and physical development while preparing them for success in the 21st Century, and providing the foundation for a lifelong love of learning in a safe and nurturing environment.

We love how dedicated, understanding and awesome the teachers are. They go above and beyond to accommodate everything, and they truly teach the kids skills- they feel like second parents while we’re at work. Thank you for all that you do- we appreciate it, especially given the fact that there is a pandemic right now. Stay safe and healthy!

Grace's Mother

Toddler Classroom

My child has learned many things and matured a lot in the past 1.5 years at The Goddard School. He learned many basic skills such as using the potty, feeding himself, as well as many academical skills such as phonics, hand writing, scientific concepts, technological training, etc... The teachers are kind and caring. My child loves the school very much.

Colin's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The Goddard - EC staff is warm and accessible. They're in tune with the early developmental stages of children and respond to their needs, and help the parents during the transition. The building is spacious, open, bright, and welcoming. I love the app they use with regular updates on how my child is doing, as well as, photos from that day. I also like that I can leave notes for the teachers.
