- RMRenee MacerankaNov 5, 20255.0The Goddard School in Malvern is truly exceptional. Steve and Barbara, the owners, are warm, welcoming, and clearly dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for children and families. They’ve built a strong, supportive community that makes it easy to feel confident sending my child to school each day. The teachers are engaged—not only with the children, but also with parents. They prioritize safety, social-emotional development, and genuine care, which shows in everything they do. My child is thriving, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

- MHMatthew HerdMay 20, 20255.0After our daughter did poorly at another daycare, my wife found Goddard of Malvern. We decided to move her to Goddard and have never looked back. She adapted on the very first day, and we recommend Goddard to everyone we meet for the excellent teachers and organized and effective management.

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.

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.
