The Goddard School of Westerville (Polaris) is a warm and nurturing space where extraordinary awaits your child each and every day.
We’re excited to celebrate 25 years under the same ownership with a refreshing update to our school this summer! Established in 1999, we’re proud to be one of the first Goddard Schools in Central Ohio, with teachers who’ve been with us for over 23 years. We offer multiple flexible food options, the Wonder of Learning curriculum, and Istation for academic growth. We prioritize health and safety with 24/7 video surveillance and provide a chartered, full-day Kindergarten elementary school program.
Goddard puts a high emphasis on learning and it seems they weave it into everything they do. I like that they hire teachers with degrees and the teachers take time to do quarterly evaluations on each child which are pretty detailed. I also appreciate that the school is very organized and offers great amenities to the students like Tap & Tumble, and parents like Parents Night Out.
I love everything about the Goddard school. All staff are so kind and the owners are like family. Education wise - grade A
I like the developmental approach that Goddard takes in planning the curriculum and daily activities for the students. Having a psychology background myself, it was important that their programming was based on something real, something more than just keeping the children entertained. Of course they had to meet our standards for safety, etc., but we wanted our son's development to be encouraged in a way similar to how we would interact with him if we were able to stay home with him.
Considerate staff Appropriate level of children teaching vs play No TV watching Hours child care available Small "family" feel
We nurture your child’s unique potential by encouraging their natural curiosity so they’re prepared to confidently take on the world.
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!
