Owner
After owning separate successful businesses, Jon and his wife, Ami, moved to Raleigh in 2010 from Colorado with the intention of starting a family business together. This would also allow their two young children to be closer to their grandparents. Jon and Ami quickly realized a shortage of private, quality childhood education centers for their own children. They learned about Goddard and their opportunity to provide children the opportunity to grow through exploration and hands-on learning. They recognize the importance of a safe and nurturing learning environment. We are excited and proud to be a part of The Goddard School and the Raleigh Community and are committed to providing the highest quality preschool experience for children in the Triangle”

GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

The staff is friendly and takes great care of our daughter. The school is clean and convenient. They have a variety of activities and Charlotte has learned so much since starting back in November.

Amazing teachers and staff, caring atmosphere, great learning, and my child loves it!
Cecilia & Cameron's Mother
Pre-K Classroom
Very open and consistent communication. Feedback we hear daily from our child. Very clear advancement in our child's knowledge and readiness for Kindergarten. Option to keep our child part time. Handling of the pandemic. The only negative I can think of is the high cost, but I'm assuming our tuition is in line with other schools of the same caliber in Raleigh.

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!

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.
