The Goddard School of Boardman includes health and safety features such as Finger Guards, a Gate Alarm, outdoor security cameras, supervised lobby entry, and a water filtration system. It is independently owned and operated, with Rachel serving as the on-site owner. Rachel holds a degree in Early Childhood Development, started her career at The Goddard School in 2008 as a teacher, became director in 2015, and became the on-site owner in 2022. Classrooms are specifically designed for infants (6 weeks–12 months), toddlers (12–24 months), twos (2–3 years), bridge (2.5–3.5 years), preschool (3–4 years), and pre-K (4–5 years). The school is Cognia® accredited.

The stated mission is that The Goddard School of Boardman believes the start of a child's journey matters and offers an expert curriculum, experienced teachers, and a nurturing environment to provide a foundation for their growth. Parent feedback includes comments that children are excited to go to school, that teachers are nurturing and supportive, and that some families feel their children are maturing and growing at a rate they did not see at other daycares or schools. Parents also note smooth transitions from home to care, appreciation for an app with photos, videos, and daily updates, and describe the staff as amazing and caring. Several parents mention feeling that their children are well cared for, that the environment feels like a little family, and that they are grateful for the role the school plays in their children's social, emotional, and scholastic education.
