Where They Start Matters

At The Goddard School of Alexandria (West), we believe that the start of your child's journey matters. Here, learning is joyful, purposeful, and rooted in the whole-child approach. From building social-emotional confidence to exploring STEAM through hands-on discovery, every day is designed to spark curiosity and celebrate each child’s unique strengths.

Your Child’s Education

Children are extraordinary little scientists who have lots of questions about everything. Our proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning^®, harnesses children’s innate curiosity and encourages them to explore the world around them as they learn through play.

Health and Safety

We work tirelessly to ensure your child thrives in a healthy, safe environment, so you have peace of mind, and they can focus on learning and growing.

Enrichment Programs

With our diverse range of enrichment programs, such as chess, yoga and robotics, your child will have fun developing important skills like creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

We are so happy to be members of the Goddard family! Our son has been attending since the school's inception and we have been thrilled with the level of care and effort from the teachers, administrators, owners, and supporting staff. If there are any issues, they do a very good job of accommodating the children. Their teachers are fantastic and my son loves coming to school. I cannot be more impressed with the childcare Goddard School Alexandria (West) provides.

Luke's Father

Toddler Classroom

This school has been very supportive of my child’s needs and changes! Academics have been woven well into productive social interactions and development. Very satisfied with the staff and administration and increased communication in the past few months.

Graham's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Our child is in the PK2 class. I really like how they prepare the children for Kindergarten. The structure of the schedule and the topics they cover are exactly what we wanted our child to focus in before starting school.

Taylor Dominique 's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Everyone from the teachers to the administrators are amazing and help support our daughter’s growth and development. We love the Goddard School community and are so happy to be a part of it!

Caroline Murray 's Father

Toddler Classroom

We truly love this school. Every teacher my child has had has been warm loving and seems to love their job. Which you can tell by how they treat their students and even the warmth that extends to us as parents. The curriculum taught keeps kids interested, excited and motivated to want to learn more. The faculty and staff are approachable and always willing to explain or help with any situation that arises. We truly wish this school extended past Pre-K as we would keep her enrolled there.
