At The Goddard School located in Saint Peters, 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 continues to be a great environment for my daughter to learn the core skills needed for kindergarten. Staff is friendly and kind with low turnover. Administrators are easy to work with. This is my best child care facility experience.

Very disappointed. After a 2 week's in the school my daughter start bringing aggression at home. Every time she was coming back home she was chattering teeth from fear. We changed the school, and now she is much better.

We have been at St. Peters Goddard for 3 years now, through 3 classrooms and 3 different lead teachers and everyone and everything has been amazing each step of the way. We feel our daughter gets a superior well rounded education in a safe, fun, clean and caring environment.
We even moved 20 minutes farther away but choose to drive past 2 other Goddard schools to keep our daughter at this location. All the Staff and Directors are awesome!
