GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

My daughter has been in 2 other daycare/schools before Goddard and I have never seen her so happy and excited to go somewhere before here. She has learned so much and has advanced so much as well. Everyone there is so welcoming and sweet it’s such an amazing place!
Parklynn's Mother
Toddler Classroom
The teachers in the infant room are very sweet, caring and seem to enjoy their time with my son. I like the activities he partakes in. I also really like Nicole. She’s always a smiling face with info at the front of the building and she makes it feel welcoming to come to Goddard.
Grant's Mother
Infant Classroom
This was our families first experience with daycare. To say I was nervous for our little 3 month old to start is the understatement of the year. The staff is so kind and amazing. My son loves his teachers and genuinely enjoys his time at school. Glad we found this school!
Jet's Mother
Infant Classroom
It really is a jump start for kindergarten. I feel like my oldest daughter was ahead of the game. I see my youngest also coming home excited about school ( she is currently in pre K)

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!

LEARNING YOUR CHILD LOVES

We work tirelessly to ensure children thrive in a healthy, safe and warm environment. Within this secure and nurturing environment, children can discover their unique gifts.

Our programs go beyond academics and help children develop important social-emotional skills like kindness, empathy, responsible decision making and more.  

In our classrooms, creativity and curiosity blossom as children discover the wonder of learning. Through fun learning experiences (F.L.EX.®), your child will develop academic and social-emotional skills that will help them feel ready to take on the world.
