- KNKelley NelsonNov 17, 20255.0The Goddard School has been a second home to my family for the past 25 years. I’ve watched hundreds of children come through our doors—including my own boys—and I can say with complete honesty that this school is something special. I’ve seen firsthand how our teachers pour their hearts into creating a warm, nurturing, learning-rich environment. It’s never been “just childcare” for us. It’s a place where children feel safe to explore, grow, try, stumble, try again, make friends, discover confidence, and learn far more than ABCs and 123s. As a parent, I experienced the same reassurance and peace of mind that so many of our families talk about. My boys were known, loved, challenged, celebrated, and supported every step of the way. They still talk about their teachers, their friends, and the memories they made here. As an educator, I’m incredibly proud of the high standards we hold ourselves to—the research-backed curriculum, the developmental approach (following ages and stages, not just birthdays), the communication with families, and the genuine partnership we build with parents. The Goddard School has shaped my children, shaped my career, and shaped my heart. If you’re looking for a place that feels like family but teaches like a school, this is it. Even after 25 years, I still believe in what we do every single day.

My son was very nervous in the beginning, but his teachers were very warm and nurturing which made this transition for us much easier. He is learning a lot in a short time, and I am confident in their curriculum for his upcoming years!

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.
