Owner
My name is Bill and I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from Oglethorpe University and my MBA from Emory University, both in Atlanta, Georgia. My wife (Amy) and I opened our first Goddard School in Fort Mill in January of 2009. We then opened our second Goddard School in Fort Mill in March of 2020. As busy as we are with our schools, we are also proud parents of 3 girls (19, 22, and 25) who are all products of our outstanding Fort Mill School District. Our youngest daughter went to the Goddard School in Twinsburg, Ohio and that's how we fell in love with the Goddard concept. Our goal is to provide the best early childhood education experience possible and raise the standard of childcare in the Fort Mill area.

GODDARD LOVE FROM
FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

Where to begin? The staff is fantastic from top to bottom. They all seem to function as a cohesive unit / team with everyone working together toward the common goal of taking excellent care of children. We feel so safe dropping our daughter off at Goddard every morning, because the teachers and admin staff clearly CARE about our child in addition to caring for her. We are so thankful for that.

Infant Classroom

My child seems happier than ever at this school, and she has been to other preschools. I think the curriculum is really sretting her up for success and she is truly learning. I love the extra things like yoga and jump bunch!

Ella's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The staff and owners are very friendly, and actually seem to care about my child. Unlike many daycares, Goddard keeps my daughter engaged and learning and having fun as well. Classrooms/facility are very clean, safe and secure. We have tried many other preschools/daycares in the area and there is nowhere else I would send my children.

Charles & Blake's Father

Toddler Classroom

The teachers are fantastic! They truly enjoy their jobs and make each kid feel loved. Our child has learned an immense amount and loves going to school.
