At The Goddard School located in Lewis Center, 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.
Since our first day at The Goddard School of Lewis Center in April of 2023, we have had nothing but wonderful things to say about them. From the curriculum to the people and the care they provide, I could not be more appreciative. Our oldest son has so much fun while learning everyday. My husband and I are in constant amazement of the many activities and experiences he is having at such a young age because of this school- Spanish and Yoga classes, Ohio Wildlife Center visit, Bring the Farm to You visit, just to name a few. Our youngest child has special/medical needs, and Goddard has not only been accommodating but has provided me with a sense comfort, that as you can imagine, is not an easy thing to do. We are so grateful we found The Goddard School of Lewis Center!

We've had a wonderful experience at this Goddard School. Every teacher we've encountered has been exceptional - kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the children. Over the years we've been impressed by how thoughtfully the curriculum is structured; it's age-appropriate yet advanced, striking a great balance between learning and play. Highly recommend!

It has been great to have my son at Goddard School of Lewis Center. He really likes his teachers and particularly enjoys showing off his toys and clothes to them every morning. Teachers try to bond by matching with him on certain days. He enjoys his water days in summer and has been making couple of close friends. I wish they provided lunches like some of their counterparts in Columbus but overall I recommend Goddard for preschool. They keep the kids busy while they learn throughout the day, by doing experiments, free play, speaking Spanish, playing soccer or enjoy visits from guests like farm animals.

We absolutely love The Goddard School of Lewis Center! From day one, the staff has shown genuine care, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to the well-being and development of the children. Every time I drop off my daughter, she greets the teachers with a huge smile, and that moment alone gives me so much peace of mind. It's clear that the teachers truly know and care about each child. The communication is great, the environment is clean and nurturing, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a daycare where their child will be safe, happy, and truly cared for.
