At The Goddard School located in Magnolia, 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 moved to Magnolia recently and enrolled my daughter in another daycare for a few months before moving to Goddard. I am so happy that we made the switch. My daughter is so loved and she enjoys "school". I feel like everyone we interact with really enjoys what they do and loves the kids!

Today was our sons last day of pre-school. I just want to say they were fantastic for his 2+ years here. Thanks so much to the Goddard staff for making it a great experience for our little man!

After going back and fourth between horrible daycares I was so happy to find The Goddard! Their curriculum, the sensory learning and the constant updates from my sons teachers makes me feel confident that he is getting the best care. It isn’t a regular daycare the kids get nutritional meals, great education, and everyone is extremely kind. The ladies in the front are always happy and sweet! And most importantly my son is happy and looks forward to going to school! Ms. Brooks and Ms. Lisa are phenomenal I can’t thank them enough! My 4 month old Is now starting at UPenn and I feel confident that he will also feel loved and be well taken care of.
