At The Goddard School located in Powell, 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.
We’ve enjoyed our years at Goddard, starting at 2 with our oldest! They truly care about our kids, getting to know them and showing them love each day. The front office and owner are very hands on and communicative and it’s been an overall great experience!

We recently switched to Goddard. I like that the administration has created ways to communicate quickly and easily to parents without excessive emails. The teachers have been so welcoming to our girls and showing them patience as they learn their new classrooms.
