At The Goddard School located in King of Prussia, 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 had a great experience at Goddard KOP! My son was there starting at 3 months old til he graduated to K and my daughter is there now. The teachers are fabulous, caring, and really get to know your child. The admin is communicative and responsive. The facility is fun with a lovely playground. They're constantly organizing new cool activities for the kids and are creative with crafts and other fun stuff. My kids have both loved going to Goddard and we have felt confident they are well cared for there. Highly recommend!

My now 3 year old has been attending Goddard in KOP since February of 2018 and our experience with everyone there has been nothing short of exceptional the entire time. I’m especially impressed by the way they handle special circumstances such as COVID-19. Communication is always frequent and transparent and I’m never left without the answers or information I need. I could not recommend them more to parents in the area. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
