Owner
Danielle Crowley is the onsite owner of The Goddard School of Mechanicsville, VA. Danielle has worked in large and small organizations providing strategic and operational leadership. She has a Masters of Business Administration from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Arts from Randolph Macon Women’s College. Danielle has been married to Ben for nearly 10 years and they have two children, Finn and Grace, who are enrolled in The Goddard School of Mechanicsville. “My experience with The Goddard School started as a parent when Ben and I enrolled our children in a Goddard School. At The Goddard School we watched our children build a love for learning in a nurturing environment. I want every family that walks into the school to discover the fun learning environment that we provide. Each child's experience in The Goddard School will establish educational foundations to prepare them for life."

GODDARD LOVE FROM FAMILIES LIKE YOURS

LITERALLY THE BEST SCHOOL. I am so impressed with Danielle, the owner and all of her stuff. It takes a lot for me to let anybody else watch my child or teach my child but every day when I drop him off I know he is 100% safe and I can focus on my workday while I am away so many extra fun activities. I’ve already enrolled my other child to start in a year and a half once he has three.

The directors and the teachers are FANTASTIC and my kids love going every day. We feel that they are safe and loved when they’re in the care of TGS.
Eleanor & Isla's Mother
Toddler Classroom
We love the care and education our children receive at the Goddard. It is truly top notch. Things that we love most are the school’s diversity, curriculum, daily reports and pictures via the tadpole app, the activities provided for the kids, and management of running a safe center in the midst of this horrible pandemic. The Goddard Mechanicsville is provides exceptional care. We are very satisfied with Goddard and recommend it’s service to all parents looking for childcare.
