Where their best begins.

At The Goddard School®, we believe that when you encourage who they are, they become who they're meant to be.

Our Promise to Families

At Goddard, our promise is simple: to empower children to grow into the best versions of themselves. We do that by following their curiosity, building care around who they are, not who we expect them to be and creating a community that supports your whole family along the way.

What Makes Goddard Different

  • Inquiry and guided play are at the heart of learning
  • Personalized, child-centered care
  • Warm, experienced and consistent teachers
  • A community families trust 

See Why Families Trust & Recommend The Goddard School

“I always feel that my daughter’s needs are met each and every day. They are safe and loved when I drop the off at the school. My child that is in pre-k is so prepared for kindergarten this fall and this leaves me so stress free for her start at her new school.”

Children learn best when their curiosity has somewhere to go.

That's why we designed Wonder of Learning®, an exclusive education program where every week begins with a big question and the exploration that follows is guided, collaborative and unique to every child.

52 weeks of lessons tailored to your child’s individual interests and questions.

A whole-child approach that nurtures well-rounded academic, social, emotional and physical development.

Rich, purposefully designed classroom and outdoor environments where guided play and learning go hand in hand.
