Meet Estella Director

Hi! My name is Estella Arguello, and I’m so happy to be part of The Goddard School family. With over 14 years of experience in early childhood education and a degree in Early Child Development, I’m passionate about creating a learning environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to grow. After moving from California to Washington, I was drawn to The Goddard School because of its exceptional commitment to high-quality education and whole child development and values that truly go above and beyond the standard. My goal is to ensure that every family feels welcomed, heard, and confident in the care and learning their child receives here. When I’m not at the school, I love spending time with my two sons and making special family memories. I look forward to helping your child and your whole family have a truly amazing experience at The Goddard School!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

We can't wait for your review! In the meantime, hear from another family about why they love their Goddard village.

"We feel so grateful for The Goddard School^® and its teachers and school leaders! Our child has absolutely loved each day from the very beginning. He has grown so much socially, emotionally and academically. The balance of 1-on-1 and whole group activities is perfect. And we really appreciate all the pictures with lesson summaries so that we can discuss with our son and reinforce at home."
