- VSVeronika SinitsynaNov 3, 20255.0We absolutely love The Goddard School of Owings Mills! The teachers are kind, professional, and truly care about each child’s growth and happiness. Our son enjoys going to school every day and is always excited to share what he learned. The communication with parents is wonderful, the classrooms are clean and well-organized, and the atmosphere is full of warmth and positivity. Thank you for creating such a loving and educational environment!
- FRFrederick RohlfingOct 10, 20255.0Goddard School in Owings Mills has been an incredible experience for not only our child, but for my wife and I as well. We of course were nervous letting other people take care of our little one day to day while we have to work, and Goddard has made the experience so incredibly easy and stress free. They are inviting and friendly, and our child has loved being there each and every day. He comes home happy and well engaged, and even though he is young, he lights up when we get there in the morning. He knows his teachers, especially Ms. Anna and Mrs. Diana. These two ladies have had an amazing impact on our little one, and he greets them with a huge smile. They are very engaging with him and thorough. There's also Mrs. Chrissy who is in his room often and she has an absolutely great time helping our little one learn. We couldn't be happier having picked Goddard in Owings Mills.

- KJKshitij JoshiSep 16, 20215.0I’ve met the staff, directors and the owners of this school and they are by far the most caring and kind folks. I wish they had space for my child to enroll.
- BFBob FolsonJul 19, 20155.0The teachers are incredible. Although we have had limited experience as my son is still in the younger classrooms, our head teacher has a passion for children that makes me envious. These are the people you trust with your children every day to feel safe, nurtured and to help them grow into the best they can be.

States also conduct annual and semi-annual licensing visits to ensure our Schools remain in compliance.

In each classroom, we provide hands-on, playful, child-centered learning experiences that vary based on the children’s levels of development. Teachers help children grow into happy, healthy, intelligent little humans who are ready to take on the world around them.
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.
What types of qualifications do Goddard School teachers and caregivers have?
Our experienced Goddard School teachers meet all state and/or local regulations and have access to continuous training provided by their state and our own Goddard University. We train teachers on a regular basis in health and safety regulations, education standards and more.
Can any of the families in the School opt out of vaccinating their children?
In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools. If your child is not vaccinated, please contact the owner of The Goddard School to inquire as to whether exemptions may apply as not all exemptions are recognized in every state. 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.
What supplies do I need to provide for my child?
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. For toddlers and older children please bring a blanket and/or sleeping bag. Many of our locations also ask that you pack lunch for your child each day.
