    Owner
    Marsha and her husband Brad are the proud owners of The Goddard School serving Fargo, West Fargo and Moorhead. They chose Goddard because of the Piaget play-based learning. With 7 children of their own, they love watching children learn through play. Brad and Marsha state that, "We are always amazed when observing the teachers encouraging children in science, math, social science, language arts, creative art, motor & music, and cognitive learning through the art of play." The Goddard School uses the most current, academically endorsed methods to ensure that children have fun while learning the skills they need for long-term success in school and in life. Our talented teachers also collaborate with parents to nurture children into respectful, confident and joyful learners.
