Our family has absolutely loved our experience at Goddard. The staff is not only friendly and kind but they all genuinely care about our child and it shows.
Elliana 's Mother
Infant Classroom
From the first time we stepped foot inside Goddard, we have felt like it was our sons home away from home. We are at peace knowing Ryder is at the best place for learning. We are so thankful to have Goddard and the staff to love on our son and teach him.
Ryder's Mother
Toddler Classroom
We love how happy our little one seems there. Getting daily pictures and updates makes us feel connected to her even when we're not with her, and we know that she is being well cared for.

Where They Start 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!

LEARNING YOUR CHILD LOVES

We work tirelessly to ensure children thrive in a healthy, safe and warm environment. Within this secure and nurturing environment, children can discover their unique gifts.

Our programs go beyond academics and help children develop important social-emotional skills like kindness, empathy, responsible decision making and more.  

In our classrooms, creativity and curiosity blossom as children discover the wonder of learning. Through fun learning experiences (F.L.EX.®), your child will develop academic and social-emotional skills that will help them feel ready to take on the world.
