Exciting Improvements Are Coming!


We have exciting news from The Goddard School in Mechanicsburg – Rossmoyne!

We are getting ready to take our school to the next level with some wonderful improvements and renovations designed to make our learning environment even better for children, families, and teachers.


While we complete these exciting updates, our Rossmoyne location will be temporarily closed. But don’t worry — we’ll be back, better than ever!


In the meantime, families are welcome to visit our beautiful Legacy Park location in Mechanicsburg, where our teachers continue to provide the nurturing, high-quality early childhood experience families have come to expect from The Goddard School.


At The Goddard School, we are so much more than childcare. We are a private preschool dedicated to helping children develop confidence, curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.


From our littlest learners through Preschool, Pre-K and beyond, our programs are thoughtfully designed to nurture each child’s development in a safe, caring, engaging environment.


We are incredibly excited about what is ahead for Rossmoyne and cannot wait to welcome families back into our newly improved space.


Stay tuned — exciting things are coming!


Looking for care now?


Our Legacy Park location is open and enrolling. We would love to show you around, introduce you to our team, and share everything The Goddard School has to offer your family.

Meet Nancy Owner

I have proudly owned The Goddard School of Mechanicsburg for over 20 years, bringing a wealth of experience and passion to early childhood education. As a mother of four, I understand the importance of creating a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for young learners. Before venturing into education, I worked as a pediatric RN for nearly 10 years, providing compassionate care to children and families. My dedication to service extends beyond the classroom—I have been deeply involved in the Mechanicsburg community for over two decades, fostering strong relationships and supporting local initiatives. As proud veteran, I bring discipline, leadership, and a strong sense of duty to everything I do. I am committed to ensuring every child at The Goddard School receives the highest quality care and education, preparing them for a bright and successful future!
