At The Goddard School located in Parkland, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
This school has been the best decision I have made! I was truly nervous to send my first born to school! Not only did the office staff make me feel secure but his first teachers Ms Bernice and Ms Kaitleen have been truly exceptional and make school so fun for all children!

The most amazing experience has been watching Molly begin her journey at Goddard when she was two months old. Today she graduates and starts kindergarten next week. None of this would be possible without the dedication and passion of all those that are part of the Goddard Family.

We have been taking our son (20mo) to the Goddard for about a month now and he took about a week to warm up which is normal, and now he totally loves going! He's in the Kangaroo room with Ms. Iris and Ms. Ceci and they do such a wonderful job. I love getting photos and updates at the end of each day so I can see what he did. It is reassuring to know he's learning so much even at such a young age and doing all kinds of things I wouldn't think about doing with him! We definitely recommend this school/daycare for anyone looking for a reputable place in the area. :)

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at this preschool. Every teacher and staff member is amazing — they’re so involved with the kids and truly care about each child’s growth and happiness. A very special shout-out to the teachers in the Kangaroos, dolphins, and VPK classes. Their sweetness, patience, and dedication mean so much to our family, and my sons absolutely love going to school to see them every day. It’s clear that everyone here puts their heart into what they do. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing, engaging environment!

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills.
