At The Goddard School located in Raleigh (Creedmoor Road), 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.
The Goddard School has been an absolute game-changer for our family, and I can’t sing their praises enough! Their team, especially the incredible Miss S and Kisha, are true ninjas in kid care, working magic with my strong-willed child. Their patience, expertise, and genuine dedication have led to remarkable academic growth and positive behavioral changes. My child is not only ready for kindergarten but poised to thrive beyond, thanks to the engaging curriculum and structured yet loving environment.

We have been at the school for over a year now and can honestly say that the care for my child's individual needs has been A+. The Director Latisha is one of the most compassionate people I have met, and my child's teachers are exceptional. I have felt welcomed and valued when I have had concerns or preferences which matters most to me. The building is very clean and inviting.

Awesome school. Transition from class to class was great - our daughter transitioned to a new school, and the teachings and structure of Goddard paid off tremendously. The caring Teachers and Administration make this Goddard School a can't miss!

The one negative post on this site caused me to really struggle in deciding whether or not this Goddard School would meet my expectations especially after being in a Goddard School in a different state. I met with the owners, administrators and teachers and was upfront about my concerns. Sufficed to say they were candid in addressing them and we enrolled our child here. I am relieved to report that we made a fantastic decision and our child has literally continued to thrive. The care they show the kids, the curriculum they follow, the way they get to know parents.... and so much more (especially parents night out once a month)... has been validating. If you're not sure... take the time to go see for yourself.
