The Goddard School

Hello and welcome to The Goddard School located in North Scottsdale, AZ! We are near the intersection of Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. and 100th Street, across Coffee Plantation and Chase Bank.

I am Natalia Elfimova, on-site owner and operator, and like you, I am committed to your childs total development. As a parent, I devote a lot of time and effort into making the right decisions to provide the best possible care, development, and education for my child. Before you make this important decision for your child, please come and take a tour of our new facility and experience the finest preschool program and staff you can imagine. Whether your child is here two half days or five full days, it should feel like family. We do our best to create an atmosphere that makes you and your children feel welcome and nurtured while they learn! I want our families to leave each day thinking, “We love The Goddard School, we can’t imagine our child anywhere else.”

Our state of the art school was designed specifically for children between the ages of six weeks and six years old. The Goddard School can make a positive difference in your child’s life. Our warm, loving atmosphere is designed to enhance the social, intellectual, and physical development of your child and introduce your child to a lifelong love of learning. We offer educational activities throughout the day. We also offer year round programs and a summer program for children up to eight years of age.

We offer a year-round, extended-day program from 7 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday. Our toddler, preschool and summer programs are available for part-time and full-time students. Flexible after-school enrichment programs are also available for school-age children.

Here are some things you can expect from The Goddard School located in Scottsdale:
We hire credentialed lead teachers who write their own curriculum based on developmental guidelines. This allows them to get to know the children in their class and create a learning experience that fits with their needs and interests. Our teachers have considerable teaching experience and are trained in Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education or Child Development. Several of our teachers have Master’s degrees. Most importantly, our teachers genuinely love children and enjoy teaching and interacting with children.

We maintain lower ratios than the state requires and our health and safety standards far surpass state requirements.

In addition to our Educational Director, there is an On-site Owner in the School every day to help ensure the best learning environment possible for your child.
Our shaded outdoor playgrounds are designed to build muscles and confidence, all under the direct supervision of our highly qualified faculty. In addition to our standard curriculum, we incorporate enrichment programs into each days activities at no additional cost. These programs are taught by Goddard School teachers who have received specialized training in order to include them as part of our daily program.

The best way to experience our school is to come in for a tour. During your visit, we will explain our FLEX curriculum, details of our program, show you the classroom your child will be in and introduce you to the teachers.
