At The Goddard School of Brooklyn Park we serve families in the surrounding Brooklyn Park area and our program is designed to inspire a lifelong love of learning. Through a blend of academic readiness, hands-on discovery, and nurturing care, we help children build the foundation they need for success in school and life.
