The Goddard School

Part Time / Full Time : Full Time Part Time

Welcome to The Goddard School located in Marshallton which is conveniently located at the intersection of Route 162 and Sugarsbridge Road in West Chester PA. Opened in 1990 as the very first Goddard School we are situated on three rural acres in a 100 year old historical building! Miss Wendy and Mr.Richie are the on-site Owner-Operators of this School. We also own The Goddard School located in Exton PA. Miss Christine is our awesome Director who just celebrated her 7 year anniversary with us. Miss Yvonne has just joined our fabulous team as our Assistant Director.

The Goddard School is a private preschool offering extended hours for working parents. Our programs are designed for children six weeks to six years of age. We offer two- three- four- or five-day program options as well as full- and half-day programs. We are licensed by both the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare and the Department of Education. We are also part of the Keystone Stars program and are currently at a Star 2!

We are open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. year-round. Our School year runs from September through mid-June and from mid-June through the end of August we offer our “Camp Goddard” program. We continue to run an amazing full day private Kindergarten program that is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education and is taught by a PA certified Elementary Education Teacher.

We take great pride in our faculty. Our experienced and degreed teachers encourage children to explore dream and learn in our safe and stimulating environment. We are continually adding exciting enhancements to our already strong curriculum such as Apple Blossom Yoga Time to Sign American Sign Language for children and the Newbridge Big Book Math Series.

In addition to low staff turnover many of the children enroll as infants or toddlers and stay through completion of our Kindergarten program. This stability provides for a family-friendly atmosphere and encourages parent involvement.

While upholding Goddard’s high level of standards and philosophy of education through play we are proud of the individual care and creativity demonstrated by each classroom’s teaching team. All class goals and objectives are an outgrowth of a genuine concern for children.
