Meet Wendy Owner

The Brinson Family are the proud owners of The Goddard School of Stafford, VA. Prior to joining the Goddard family, Ms. Wendy served in the United States Army for 21 years as a Military Police Officer. After retiring, she knew that she wanted to continue to service in a meaningful way in a career where she could touch lives. When she learned about the Goddard philosophy Ms. Wendy felt an immediate connection. Fostering the love of learning while providing a safe, nurturing environment for children coupled with her background, was a perfect fit. Their family goal is to make each family’s Goddard experience exceptional, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for your children to become confident learners as they develop. As the on-site owner, Ms. Wendy would like to extend an invitation to you and your family to visit her wonderful school and allow her to introduce you to her warm and professional faculty and tell you about the Goddard’s approach to lifelong learning!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

From the moment you walk in the door and are greeted by the friendly staff (who somehow know every person who walks through the door), to meeting the competent, caring, intelligent teachers, you are assured that your child and your child's development is in excellent hands. Our experience here has been well worth our time and money. We are beyond thrilled with this school, and will be recommending it to other parents.

Hunter 's Mother

Preschool Classroom

One hundred percent, it is because of the staff. I don't think my son's progress would be the same if it were not for such a caring staff. They are absolutely the reason for the success of all the students.

Caleb's Father

Pre-K Classroom

My children have been to a few different daycares due to relocation but Miss Wendy - from day 1 has made me feel welcome & assisted as a parent. My children have learned so much which is the goal before kindergarten. My 2 year old can sign for 10 different commands & speak greetings/colors/numbers in English & Spanish. I’m satisfied with the care & have trust in the leadership.

Angelo & Roman's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Though there were some transitions with my child’s classroom teacher (losing Ms. Sue) gaining Mrs. Cathrine. Has been a blessing. Ms. Kaiah is wonderful. All the staff work their butts off and it’s obvious you all really Care. Also, tadpole was a lifesaver for a nervous new momma letting go for the first time. Thank you. I have and will continue to recommend Goddard to the moms in my moms club.

Mason & Adalynn's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Great teachers and staff. My daughter learned alot going to this school. Was always kept up to date on changes at the school.

Nizhoni's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

Ms. Wendy is awesome! We trust her leadership of the school and that’s most important to us. We’ve only been with Goddard during Covid so we don’t know the teacher’s well but they seem caring and attentive.

Ezra's Father

Toddler Classroom

My daughter was very timid and shy. Being a Gotter, Brad, her out of her little shell and she has become more social and verbal. What is being taught is a higher level than the other two preschool she attended. Goddard challenged her and had her more engaged and focused . Teacher and staff are phenomenal.
