    We are open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. year-round, offering a variety of programs convenient for parents who want the proven advantages of a high quality preschool education for their children.

    The Goddard School® provides a warm, loving atmosphere and features an extended day program designed to enhance the emotional, social, intellectual and physical development of children from six weeks old to six-years-old with a full day Kindergarten and Before and After School Enrichment programs. We also offer a summer camp program for children up to six years of age. In order to enhance our camp program, we offer five day swim lessons with weekly assessment sheets for each child. (See our Summer Calendar on our calendar link!)

    Our School's faculty includes experienced teachers trained in Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education or Child Development. They strive to provide the children with carefully planned educational and developmental programs that meet the needs of the “whole” child. Each age group in our School has specific developmental goals with corresponding curriculum including the wonderful “Land of the Letter People” program in our Pre-Kindergarten class. We are also delighted to offer enrichment programs in Music, Science, Tumbling, Gymnastics, Science, Spanish and the very popular Kiddie Soccer. We are currently adding Yoga, World Cultures and Art History.

    The Goddard School® is dedicated to providing the best possible environment for the education and development of your child. Our state-of-the-art security system and custom-designed building was planned to provide a safe, healthy and stimulating environment. Our School is situated on three acres in a rural setting where we have two separate age-appropriate playgrounds and a “Children’s Garden.”
