We are the proud on-site owners of The Goddard School location in Locust Point of Baltimore. We opened our Canton school in October 2018, and saw the need for a high quality Pre-School in Locust Point. We raised three children of our own and know first hand the importance of an early childhood education. We use our business backgrounds to work collaboratively with our directors and teachers to provide a fun, safe and nurturing environment for all of the children at our schools. We invite you to visit our school to learn more about our qualified staff, "Wonders of Learning" Curriculum, and Enrichment programs, that include American Sign Language, Spanish, and Yoga.
