Where They Start Matters

Meet Amanda Center Director

I have been in the early childhood education field for over 45 years. I have a Bachelors Degree in Education in addition to my many years of experience. From teaching 2, 3 and 4-year-olds to running daycare centers, I have been fortunate to be able to fulfill my only career desire which was to work with children. I believe that providing a safe, nurturing environment while also offering the opportunity for children to learn and grow at their own individual pace is the greatest gift I can offer these children. When they come smiling into school and I hear their laughter and excitement throughout the day, I feel that I am accomplishing my goals.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Goddard! The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and treat each child like their own. My daughter has grown so much socially and emotionally since starting here. The environment is always clean, safe, and full of engaging activities. I’m so grateful to have found such a nurturing place for her to learn and thrive!

The Goddard School is highly recommended. Our son has attended for nearly two years and has thrived in their classrooms. It’s a wonderful environment combining education and recreation. Nirav and Amanda are excellent. They always communicate and make themselves available for parents.

Staff are extremely friendly , organized and provide updates on a regular basis. The school focuses on early education to ensure they use curriculum that’s age appropriate for learning and fun. His teachers have started working with my son to help potty train which is a win for any parent. Nirav and Amanda are literally on top of everything at all times and always available to answer any questions you have.

Both of my children have attended Goddard and the experience is 2nd to none in the area. The staff is attentive, the facility is clean, and our children were both happy. Thanks Goddard for being a home away from home for our children.

Staff is amazing- dedicated, caring. Always feel my child is in the best hands. Thoughtful, educational activities. Aside from school year programs, fun themed summer activities and special events.

Infant Classroom

The nurturing environment creates a safe place for our son! He is now potty trained due to the consistency of scheduling. We love it! Safety measures include eye technology that are beyond what we expected. You will not be disappointed. Our son wakes up every morning ready to go to the Goddard School, and guess what? We let him....lol
