- CMCourtney MadiganJul 21, 20255.0We absolutely love Goddard! From day one, the teachers and staff have made us feel welcomed, supported, and confident in the care she’s receiving. The environment is nurturing and full of positive energy, and the level of communication with families is fantastic. Our daughter has grown so much—socially, emotionally, and especially intellectually. She’s incredibly curious and bright, and we truly believe that’s a direct result of the education and personalized attention she receives every day. The curriculum is thoughtful and age-appropriate, and it's clear the staff truly care about each child's development. We’re so grateful to be part of a community that prioritizes both care and learning in such a meaningful way. Highly recommend!

For infants, we follow the care schedule set by your family and utilize personal care moments to connect with and expand your little one’s individual development. Our teachers also incorporate songs, finger play, books and sensory and physical exploration each day.
Our busy toddlers flex their independence as they learn to walk, talk and safely explore the world around them. Their curiosity and interests drive the classroom structure.
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. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them. Children learn how to ask and answer questions, work with others, navigate social situations and understand and communicate their own thoughts and feelings.
Our teachers expertly create supportive classrooms for all children to safely learn and test new social, academic and physical skills throughout a typical routine that includes morning and afternoon snack time, lunch, naptime, exploration time, small and large group experiences and outdoor play.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools.

To ensure the health and safety of everyone, if an outbreak occurs and a child has not been vaccinated, they will be asked to stay at home.

Please provide any necessary personal care supplies for your little one, such as diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet.
