Welcome to Our School
The Goddard School of Washington DC (The Wharf) is a warm and nurturing space where extraordinary awaits your child each and every day.
Goddard DC at The Wharf originally opened in July of 2019. Due to demand we have opened a 2nd location (across the street) to serve the families of our wonderful SW community. 910 7th Street (original location) now enrolls children between ages of 18 months and 5 years. Our new location, 652 Maine Avenue, enrolls children 6 weeks - 18/24 months. Both Schools have their own private playground space, key fobbed entry for added security AND also ample parking for pickup and drop off!

Something Fun Is Always Happening at Goddard!
Trustworthy. Taylor and his staff have built up a lot of trust and I know that my child will be safe all day long. The communication when I do have issues is typically quick and things are taken care of. I also like that Taylor and Nita are easily accessible.
My daughter is always happy from the moment we arrive in the morning to the moment I come to pick her up in the afternoon.
We are so happy with our daughter's experience at Goddard! Her teachers are fantastic and the way they run the class is very dynamic and stimulating. All of the activities are well planned and executed. She loves every day at Goddard school! Highly recommended!
I am very happy with the school and the teachers. It has been wonderful for my daughter and a relief to find a place I am comfortable with to take care of my daughter.
Where They Start Matters
Early childhood is a time of endless potential — a season where curiosity, discovery and small victories build the foundation for a remarkable future. That’s why where a child begins their journey matters.
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!
