About the school

The most important time in your child’s development is birth through the age of five. The team at The Goddard School in Westchase strives to provide a fun, safe learning environment that fosters intellectual and social growth for these formative years. Teachers at The Goddard School work to establish a classroom community that fosters the development of early learning and literacy skills alongside social-emotional growth. The Goddard School has met the qualifications to become a licensed childcare provider in the state of Florida. To earn this certification, staff and teachers must have routines in place to provide a safe and nurturing environment, offer developmentally-appropriate play, and support student learning. This center is accredited by the APPLE organization, a prestigious distinction that recognizes the high quality of their early learning program. Compared to much smaller schools, this center’s size typically allows for more options and availability of different learning environments, while also providing a wide variety of resources, books, toys, and other learning materials to enhance the educational experience.
