Meet Caroline

Owner

My name is Caroline Smith and my Husband, Cole, and I are the proud owners of Goddard Gold Hill. We are from from Edisto Beach, South Carolina. I have a Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education and a Masters degree in Divergent Learning, both from Columbia College. I have 10 years of teaching experience in Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade. Cole and I also spent two years serving in the Peace Corps on the small island nation of Vanuatu where I taught in grades 1-5 and he did community development work. Cole now works for Continental Tire here in Fort Mill. I started out as the Education Director here at our school in 2019, became the on site owner in 2020 and Cole and I officially purchased the school in May of 2022. We are so thrilled to be here and to be a part of your child's learning and growth! We love to travel and to spend time with our two children, Ann and Brantley.

Caring staff, wonderful curriculum and beautiful facility

Madeline's Mother

Toddler Classroom

We have been at Goddard Gold Hill for a month. Our daughter use to cry at drop offs at her old school, but at Goddard she hasn't cried ONCE! The teachers are true teachers providing education and great classroom rules at the 4 year old level. We are beyond happy with Goddard and so excited to see how our daughter is coming home with new things she has learned.

Jordyn's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

I felt extremely welcomed from the first day. The entire staff is professional, friendly, and attentive. We’ve experienced other top-tier daycare centers in the area, but the experience at Goddard is second to none. Our daughter adapted quicker than expected, which I attribute to the dedicated and loving teachers.

Where They Start Matters

Early childhood is a time of endless potential — a season where curiosity, discovery and small victories build the foundation for a remarkable future. That’s why where a child begins their journey matters.

What Teachers Mean to Me

Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!
