About
The Goddard School offers programs in classrooms that are specifically designed for children’s age and interests. Children learn in rich, purposefully designed classroom and outdoor environments where guided play and learning are combined. Inquiry and guided play are at the heart of learning at this program, with 52 weeks of lessons tailored to each child’s individual interests and questions.
• Ages: 0–6 years old
The Goddard School offers programs designed for infants through Kindergarten. The program follows a whole-child approach that includes academic, social, emotional, and physical development. It uses Wonder of Learning, an exclusive education program, along with high-quality educational programming designed to ignite curiosity and support a lifelong interest in learning. Personalized, child-centered care is provided by warm, experienced, and consistent teachers who are highly skilled experts trained in early childhood education and development.
The Goddard School is nationally accredited by Cognia, a globally recognized mark of quality that requires schools to meet rigorous standards. All Goddard Schools are independently owned and operated, and Goddard School owners have strong connections to the communities they serve and are deeply invested in the growth and success of children. The Goddard School’s Educational Advisory Board is a diversely skilled panel of early childhood education and development leaders. The leadership team includes Dr. Lauren Loquasto, Chief Academic Officer, and Mary-Alice Moore, President of Highlights for Children.
The mission of The Goddard School is to be the nation’s leader in premier early childhood education dedicated to nurturing the extraordinary in every child. The program’s stated promise is to empower children to grow into the best versions of themselves by following their curiosity, building care around who they are, and creating a community that supports the whole family. A parent from Raleigh, NC, reports feeling that their children’s needs are met each day, that their children are safe and loved at the school, and that their pre-K child is prepared for Kindergarten, which reduces stress about starting a new school.
