At The Goddard School located in Flanders, 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.
I can't give it zero stars if I didn't give it any, it's the worst place I've ever asked to go to, I don't feel good about this place at all.

The teaching staff at Goddard School of Flanders are some of the friendliest, most caring, most reliable, most relatable and dedicated people we have had the pleasure to work with over the last three years! We look forward to another 2 years of continued growth and development for our son as he gets ready to go to kindergarten! We are confident that he will be well ahead of the curve by then and it is money well spent.

My daughter, now four years old, has been with the Goddard since she was nine months old. The teachers really do care, the program is excellent and my daughter is always so happy when I pick her up.

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.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools.

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.

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.
