Welcome to Our School

The Goddard School of Chantilly (Westfields) is a warm and nurturing space where extraordinary awaits your child each and every day.

We opened in 2003, committed to creating the kind of fun, enriching learning environment that we wanted for our own three children. We have two nationally recognized accreditations, demonstrating our continued commitment to excellence. We offer full-time and part-time programs, including an accredited Kindergarten program. We welcome new families every month! Call to schedule a tour and visit us just off Route 28 at Westfields Boulevard. Enrolling for Summer and Fall 2025 now!

Owners
Mr. Brad and Ms. Risa are the proud owners of both Goddard Schools in Chantilly; Chantilly (Westfields) opened in 2003, and Chantilly (East Gate) opened at the end of 2011. Risa has a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and serves as the Senior Education Director for the schools. Risa was previously a 4th and 5th grade teacher, so she knows well that an exceptional school depends on exceptional teachers. Risa oversees the hiring of every teacher we invite to join The Goddard School, and, as Senior Education Director, she makes sure that the environment we provide is caring, fun, safe, and educational. Brad is the business manager of both schools. Brad was trained as a lawyer, and he brings ten years of experience in the banking industry to the business side of running the school.
