At The Goddard School located in Holly Springs, 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.
Our child has been attending the Goddard School of Holly Springs since he was 3 months old and we cannot say enough great things about our experience so far.
The infant room staff is kind, welcoming, and takes excellent care of our son. They are extremely attentive to his needs.
Management does a wonderful job to ensure we're receiving a high quality experience through frequent check-ins and clear communication.
Every day when we pick our son up he has a smile on his face. We cannot recommend the school enough!

Our child has been at this location for roughly 1 year now and has progressed through 3 different classrooms. The teachers, office staff, and owners are incredibly caring, accommodating, and communicate well. Every interaction has been very professional and there's always been a genuine concern for each chid's well being.
The ownership team is exceptionally proactive and very involved. Regular check-ins for feedback show how much they value continuous improvement and parent/child satisfaction. Any concerns (which are rare, if any) are addressed quickly and thoughtfully.
This location regularly has a variety of events that keep the kids engaged and excited about coming to school. The curriculum is properly tailored to support age-appropriate learning and development.
Most importantly, this is a very safe & trustworthy environment. The peace of mind that comes from knowing my kid is in great hands allows me to focus on my day to day work without worry, which is invaluable in itself.
I would highly recommend this Goddard School location to anyone who is in need of good child care!

Moving from Brier Creek to Holly Springs, we were nervous about finding a childcare center that matched the high standards we were used to. After touring several schools, we chose The Goddard School of Holly Springs because of its convenient location, strong curriculum, and experienced staff.
Our four-year-old son is adjusting well to his new classroom. His teachers and the directors are approachable, kind, and clearly compassionate about the students. The facility is always cheerful and spotless. Communication, which is a top priority for us, is excellent. We always know what our son is learning and are kept informed of any schedule changes. It's clear that everyone at the school truly cares about the children and the facility.
