Meet Kim Owner
I have had the pleasure of owning the Chagrin Falls Goddard School since 2017. Buying a school and turning it into an Award Winning Preschool has met all of my expectations for this little Goddard School that could. My husband Scott of 25 years and I, have raised two beautiful children and are now watching our grandson grow up Goddard in one of our Goddard locations. In 8 years we have bought 11 Goddard Schools with myself running the daily operations of the Chagrin Falls location. My home away from home is always filled with laughter, hugs, inquiry based learning, and student engagement. Thanks to my amazing administration team and dedicated teaching staff, we have become a Goddard Circle of Excellence School since 2022, President's Club Award Winner, and a school who mentor's others. Our dreams run big here always and I am so looking forward to watching your children achieving their dreams as well:)

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
I trust great leadership to begin with. Kim runs a great operation and that is validated further by the culture that has ensued and to care for the kids. There’s ongoing investment in the facilities for continuous improvement of the kid’s experience. The communication is also very transparent, abundant, and clear. Nice work
Amazing staff who care and do above and beyond for our children. Educational program is top notch and the teaching they provide on emotional intelligence is incomparable to any program.
This is school with amazing communication, dedicated staff, and thoughtful lesson plans.
My children have been at The Goddard School of Chagrin Falls since they were 6 weeks old. Each teacher they have had only shows their dedication, love, and professionalism to the children in their care.
I have had three of my children at this facility and have been very pleased with its quality, consistency, and care. The teaching staff and administration are too-notch and always put their students’ needs first while balancing other demands. I most highly recommend this facility!
Teachers are wonderful. The communication is great. They are accommodating and meet the needs of my children.
We love the friendly, welcoming staff everyday. And the regular updates with photos in the app give me peace of mind that my baby is being taken care of. He is very comfortable with his teachers and comes home happy every day.
Super friendly staff, from top to bottom. I’m certain that my son is loved, protected, and cared for.
