Owner
Diane Bowden is the owner of the Goddard School in Apex. After being in the corporate workforce for over fifteen years, she wanted to own a business that could make a significant contribution to the community by providing an exceptional, high quality preschool experience for children. Diane is a graduate from the College of Veterinary Medicine at NC State. She has spent the majority of her professional life working in the pharmaceutical industry. I am excited and proud to be a part of the Goddard family. I am committed to providing an experience that will enrich every child's emotional, social, intellectual and physical development, while providing the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

Precautions taken during Covid, the front office staff (Trina and Shanae) are outstanding, the teachers are incredible, kind and educated. Safe and clean environment. Our family has encountered two larger “situations” with two different children while they were at this facility and it was all handled appropriately. The education provided is challenging yet age-appropriate and fun. My kids love their school and we do too.
Logan & Emma & Lauren's Mother
Infant Classroom
The staff, the teachers go above and beyond what is required by them. I was highly impressed with the set of procedures they have in place due to Covid. They run a tight ship and are well prepared to deal with any events. The teachers are caring and and take a keen interest in the kids. It shows as my kids love going to their daycare.
