Meet Keri Owner

Hello, my name is Keri Larson and I am the proud, on-site owner of The Goddard School located in Omaha, Nebraska. I live mid-town with my husband Scott, daughters Haley and Maggie. I have a Master’s in Business Administration from Creighton University and prior to opening The Goddard School I worked for a local communications company in their marketing department. I decided to open a Goddard School in Omaha because I saw a need and demand for a quality alternative to standard daycare. Very simply, our mission is to offer you the absolute best in high quality childcare and education.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

All 3 of our kids will leave Goddard more than prepared for Kindergarten: academically and socially. We love the teachers and leadership at Goddard. They did a terrific job of navigating childcare during the pandemic. And most importantly, our kids loved attending!

Andrew & Bryce & Rece's Mother

I really like that the teachers actually have a degree, I really like the cleanliness, I like receiving photos of our child each day, and I really think the teachers truly take great care of the children. I also love that as they get older, there is a curriculum. So far it has been really great!

Drake & Piper's Father

Toddler Classroom

Our son has learned so much from the wonderful teachers at Goddard. He surprises us almost every day with something new he learned at school. It’s amazing to watch him develop friendships with the other kiddos and teachers. We are also very grateful for all of Goddard's help and dedication to keeping a safe, clean and fun environment during the pandemic. Thank you!

We love that our kids’ teachers get to know them and care about telling us about their days. The teachers know how to patiently teach and interact with young kids.

Rowan & Ayla's Mother

Goddard Graduate

Teachers and leadership are great. The cleanliness really helped sell us on Goddard compared to others we visited, but the professionalism and overall environment created from the staff has made the difference. We feel as though our children are in great hands and that is very comforting for us as parents.

Callie & Bryson's Father

Preschool Classroom

We absolutely love having our child at Goddard School. Benjamin loves his teachers and is excited to leave the house each morning to see everyone. He is our first and only child, so we had no idea what to expect from a daycare. We have been throughly impressed with everyone. All staff have been sincere, patient and totally understanding when we have had dumb first time parent questions or concerns! We would 100% recommend Goddard School to anyone and everyone!
