The Goddard School

At The Goddard School we are committed to providing not only the best childcare but an awesome preschool experience for your children. Our family-owned School has been opened since March of 2003. We are also the proud owners of The Goddard School located in Southport and on Fishers Point Boulevard in Fishers. As on-site owners we are very proud of all of our Schools because they offer the best preschool opportunity available to children.

My name is Kathryn and I am one of the on-site owners at The Goddard School located on Oak Road in Carmel. My background is in business. I have owned several businesses in the past 15 years. I am very proud to say that all of our Schools provide excellent quality care. My husband Ray and I have three children together. My passion is music and I love traveling with my husband.

Our Director is Kristy Renfro. She has been working with The Goddard School for close to six years. Kristy has a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education and Physical Education. She started her Goddard career as an infant/toddler teacher and spent two and a half years as a director. For the past two years Kristy’s was photographing children in child care centers all across the state of Indiana. One thing Kristy discovered in those two years is that there is no other child care facility even close to the quality of care that we have here at The Goddard School.

Our hours are 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Our program offers care for children as young as six weeks to six years of age. We offer a variety of full-time and part-time programs so you are able to choose the best schedule for your child and your family. We communicate with parents through Daily Activity Sheets in addition to talking with parents every day! At Goddard all activities are open-ended so each child may participate at their own level. We share a progress report with parents twice a year at parent/teacher conferences and parents are able to see their child’s growth and development through portfolios.

Our state-of-the-art facility was designed with your child’s health and safety in mind as well as easy access to all learning materials for the children. We even have a special Exploration Room for the children to enjoy and learn. Children can work at computers or just let their imaginations work in one of the learning centers available in the Exploration Room.

Our School provides children with a safe loving and nurturing environment where their self-confidence and independence will grow. We provide a learning environment that allows self-expression through creative media dramatic play music storytelling block building and other forms of play. We provide your child with a balance of teacher and child directed activities that will encourage a lifelong love for learning. Through open communication among parents teachers children and management we provide children with an environment that will allow them to reach their potential.
