Meet Anne On - Site Owner

As the on-site owner, I spent 15+ years in the Human Resource field after graduating from Old Dominion University with a B.S. in Education. However, it wasn’t until after the birth of our son, Connor we decided to open The Goddard School in Chesapeake, VA. I was struggling to find a quality school for my infant son so I could go back to work. I was looking for somewhere I would feel comfortable leaving him everyday and know that he was well cared for and in a safe learning environment. After an exhausting search I couldn’t find anywhere that met our standards so I began looking into opening my own school and came across The Goddard School franchise and I opened in Chesapeake in March 2005 and Virginia Beach in 2015!

Caitlin's Mother

Preschool Classroom

Caring and passionate teachers who design curriculum tailored to students which instill a love of learning AND play. Create good habits through behavior incentive programs and school “designated chore/responsibility.” And safety is their primary concern. It is a blessing to have our child here.

Shreya & Krish's Mother

Junior-K Classroom

I can tell they live and care about our kids! My son hasn’t been there for 2 years and they still greet him happily (and by name) when he comes in with me to get our little one. My daughter has been there for about a year now, she recently got new shoes…when 5 adults make comment that a one year old is wearing new shoes, you know they love and are paying attention to your kids! ??

Camden & Emily's Mother
