About
The Goddard School offers early childhood education in classrooms and outdoor spaces where guided play and learning are combined in rich, purposefully designed environments. The program uses a play-based learning approach that includes inquiry and guided play at the heart of children’s daily experiences. Wonder of Learning® is an exclusive education program at The Goddard School in which every week begins with a big question, and the exploration that follows is guided, collaborative, and unique to each child, with 52 weeks of lessons tailored to individual interests and questions.
• Ages: 0–6 years old
The Goddard School’s mission is to serve as the nation’s leader in premier early childhood education dedicated to nurturing the extraordinary in every child. Programs are offered for infants through Kindergarten, with Kindergarten available at participating locations. The school follows a whole-child approach that includes academic, social, emotional, and physical development. Teachers at The Goddard School are described as highly skilled experts who are trained in early childhood education and development, and as warm, experienced, and consistent. The program highlights trusted educators, safe classrooms, personalized child-centered care, and a community that families trust. All Goddard Schools are independently owned and operated and are supported by an Educational Advisory Board made up of leaders in early childhood education and development with a range of skills. The organization’s leadership team includes Dr. Lauren Loquasto, Chief Academic Officer, and Mary-Alice Moore, President of Highlights for Children. The Goddard School is nationally accredited by Cognia®, which is described as a globally recognized mark of quality that requires schools to meet rigorous standards. Goddard School owners are described as having strong connections to the communities they serve and being deeply invested in the growth and success of children. One parent from Raleigh, NC, reports feeling that their daughter’s needs are met each day, that their children are safe and loved at drop-off, and that their pre-K child is very prepared for kindergarten, which the parent says leaves them feeling stress-free about the start at a new school.
