At The Goddard School located in Doylestown (Bailiwick), 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 have sent both of my daughters here from the infant room to pre-k. My one daughter is still currently enrolled. It is such a warm and welcoming environment. Every single teacher that both of my daughters had have been such a pleasure to get to know. Every time my daughters have had to move up to the next class, it has always been so bittersweet because of the beautiful relationship the teachers have had with my daughters. Lisa the owner and everyone in the front office staff have always been consistently cheerful and warm as well and have worked hard to uphold a high standard of care. My younger daughter has severe food allergies to many different foods and the care and attention they have given to her well-being has not gone unnoticed, and I am forever grateful for how they put our family's mind at ease. We are so blessed that both of our girls got to experience such a loving and nurturing environment in the foundational first few years of their lives so they are equipped for the school years ahead. Thank you!!!

We love Goddard Baliwick! Our sons both started since 12 weeks and love going to school each day. It gives us peace of mind knowing they’re with teachers and staff who love and look after them as if they’re their own.

Thrilled with this learning environment! The school is run so well by the owner and her team, the outside area is amazing, the activities are super engaging and thoughtful, and kids have the right balance of attention and independence with the teachers. Everyone here is kind and patient with my anxious kiddo and I could literally go on 6 pages about everything I dig about this place!
