At The Goddard School located in Fishers (Central), 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.
We absolutely love sending our son to The Goddard School! From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew this was the perfect place for him to learn and grow.
The teachers and staff go above and beyond to create a warm, nurturing environment where he is not only well taken care of but also thriving academically and socially.
They are also more than just educators—they are family. They love and support our son as if he were their own, and we have complete peace of mind knowing he is in such caring hands.
We couldn’t ask for a better experience and highly recommend The Goddard School to any parent looking for a safe, loving, and enriching environment for their child!

My child has been going to this school for about 3 years now.
Every time I go pick him up he is always happy and excited about the day he had with his friends, and teachers.
He is learning many things that will help him in his life.
I know this because of Tadpole app for this school puts his learning and progress with me at all times like I am there with him. I can watch videos of him playing and learning.
Teachers and staff there are just like having good friends and family with my son every day helping him learn and be able to have a great foundation to continue learning.
At Goddard School Fishers Central the entire staff there is always showing patients and commitment to my son and myself as we grow as a family.
Thank you to all staff.
