Meet Bob Owner

I am very excited about the opportunity to serve the community through the opening of the Goddard School in Yorktown. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Old Dominion University. After 15 years of working for several Fortune 1,000 companies, I have decided to combine a lifelong dream of owning my own business with my love of children. Both of my children attended The Goddard School and I was thrilled with the entire experience. I thank you for being a part of our school. I look forward to getting to know you and your children.

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

I am very pleased with the development of my daughter. The staff is friendly and she loves coming to school. And I love that everyone calls her by name, even staff that is not in the room with her. It is a great family atmosphere.

Brooklyn's Father

Toddler Classroom

Overall a great environment for Littles starting from drop off routines to pick up. Children enjoy an environment geared toward their holistic development in all aspects. I've noticed a huge change in behavior and customs in my toddler. Very pleased with this institution.

Faith's Mother

Bridge Classroom

The team at Goddard Yorktown is truly remarkable. Bob Norman, Barbie Brown and Holly Montfort run an excellent center. The teachers at my daughter’s Pelicans classroom are absolutely phenomenal (Ms. Kat, Ms. Natasha & Ms. Gail). We are ever so grateful for this school. Thank you!

Wren Marie's Mother

Toddler Classroom

The staff at Goddard truly has helped with transitioning my children into their new home. Being in the military, you worry about where your kids go but Goddard has worked with me and my family to help get us settled. My kids love their teachers and have gained confidence in who they are which speaks volumes to me, as a parent.

Mabel & Lucas's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I recommend it all the time! It has been the best experience for our daughter.

Maeve & Vera's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The school seems very organized, safe, clean and fun. The teachers create a fun learning environment. Our son comes home everyday with something new that he has learned, and most importantly he loves going "to school."

Sawyer's Mother

Kindergarten Classroom

The staff is amazing, and the facility is clean and well kept. My daughter gets so excited in the mornings when we put her in the car seat because she knows we are on our way to school.

Alysiah's Mother
