Meet Ada Owner

Welcome to The Goddard School! I am proud to be a member of the Goddard family. As a parent of two children, I recognize the importance of providing a quality preschool program in a safe, nurturing and loving environment. I have a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Economics and a Master's degree in Education. I taught infants, toddlers, and preschoolers for several years. As an educator, I can appreciate how Goddard's curriculum develops the whole child, and builds a great foundation that fosters a love for learning. As a mom, I am reminded everyday how precious our little ones are, and that they deserve the best each and every day. I look forward to meeting new families, and providing our children with a positive and enriching preschool experience.

Excellent communication and the teachers are kind and welcoming. The teachers seem to have a good schedule and plan to care for all of the kids.

Logan's Mother

Infant Classroom

We love our teachers and the curriculum. My son enjoys his time there and he comes home singing songs and talking about his friends. He gets to learn and play simultaneously, and the staff is caring and gets to know each child.

Jackson & Rhett's Mother

Preschool Classroom

We love The Goddard in Fuquay. Our son has enjoyed all the teachers he has had so far and has no issues going straight to them for drop off! This lets us know we picked the right place for him and I feel confident in our decision.

Rhett's Mother

Toddler Classroom

The teachers at our daughter’s school are very informative and always keep us in the loop of how our daughter is growing and what she needs to make her time at school better! They are very caring and take the extra time to spend helping our daughter learn and grow! We would absolutely recommend the Goddard school of Fuquay to all of our friends and family!!

Amelia's Mother

Preschool Classroom

It is difficult to put into words just how amazing the staff is at the Goddard School in Fuquay-Varina. Our child is 5 and has been going there since she was 3 months old. She is smarter than me as a result. I would not hesitate to recommend this location to any parent that needs exceptional day care at a very reasonable price. One of the best parenting choices my wife and I have ever made up to this point.

Ava & Lucy's Father

Pre-K Classroom

The school is very well organized and clean. The daily picture system is amazing. I’m always happy to see a picture of my daughter every showing what she is doing in school. It confirms me that she is in good hands and she is learning new things. Thanks you for your care.
