The Goddard School of Eldersburg
Preschool in Sykesville, MD 21784
The Goddard School located in Eldersburg is the premier early childhood development school in southern Carroll County. We offer loving educational programs stimulating the young minds of children at six weeks and challenging the inquisitive minds of children in Pre-Kindergarten to truly prepare them for the Kindergarten experience. Our comprehensive curriculum includes programs such as Handwriting Without Tears, Sign Language, Spanish and a Physical Education program developed by SPARK.
Our established School has provided exceptional programs to the children in the community since 1998 and has now expanded into our new and improved facility almost twice the size, and right next door. This incredible new building has state of the art features including biometric controlled access and a heated floor system in the classrooms of our youngest children to ensure their comfort as they learn to crawl and walk. We are located behind Food Lion, Dairy Queen and Smoky’s restaurant, off Liberty Road in Eldersburg.
We have incredible summer and before- and after-school programs for children through age 13. Our new facility includes a dedicated playground for the older children, a basketball court and a huge indoor play area with a rubber flooring surface. Our exciting summer programs include visitors to excite and delight children of all ages and field trips for the older children to further explore our world.
We would love to show you our program “in action.” You’ll see how we are investing in the future by providing the highest quality childcare program, one child at a time.
