Meet Pam Owner

Hello, my name is Pam King and my husband, Shawn, and I are the proud owners of The Goddard School® located on Avalon Rd. in Winter Garden. We opened our first Goddard School in Alpharetta, Georgia in 2000. We live in Windermere, and have three beautiful children (All graduates of Goddard). I graduated from Kennesaw State University with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. Before opening our first Goddard School, I worked as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. During my free time I enjoy spending time with my family on the lake and watching my youngest daughter pitch on the softball field. Since I was a young girl I knew that I wanted to work with children. It gives me such pleasure to nurture, educate, and laugh with young children. I am beyond thrilled to be able to spend my days with the amazing children that attend our Goddard School®. I look forward to meeting you and showing you our amazing school.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

My son's vocabulary has come such a long way. The teacher's seem very loving and he really enjoys being with his friends and teacher's.

Joaquin's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The employees are very friendly, I can trust them to do a great job, and they are always easy to reach for communication. I highly recommend!

Andrew & Thomas's Father

Preschool Classroom

This school has been a blessing for Emily. We love all the staff and the care that all of you have provided for her.

Emily's Mother

Kindergarten Classroom

I would not have moved to WG if we could not enroll our children here. The faculty and staff are too notch. We came from another Goddard location (which was also stellar), and will keep our children at this school until they lock us out.

Aryan & Alia's Mother

Preschool Classroom

We absolutely love the staff and facility, we've had nothing but a great experience with Goddard :)

Luca's Father

Kindergarten Classroom

We have only been met with kindness and support as we transitioned our son into school for the first time for both him and us as parents.

Colton's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Passionate and kind teachers in starfish infant classroom. Communicates often and checks in on your baby even when baby is out sick. Thankful for a robust curriculum that is suitable for age group. Only recommendation is to potentially think about splitting infant class to two groups, 6weeks-6 months, and 6 months-12 months. The development between the two classes are vast.

Nolan's Mother

Infant Classroom

We could not be happier with our choice to join Goddard. The teachers are so kind, caring, and truly love your children like their own. Each day my child is involved in stimulating, educational, hands-on activities that truly aid in her development. Joining Goddard is the best choice we’ve made for her, it was well worth the long waitlist :).
