Philosophy

Goddard schools use current, academically endorsed methods to ensure that children have fun while learning skills that foster success in school and in life. The school’s philosophy is built around STEAM, enrichment, nurturing environments, and safety. Science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics are a vital part of early childhood education and the Goddard School introduces STEAM early in the curriculum.
