Lead Teacher Preschool Classroom

About the Team

As part of a larger franchise system in operation for 35 years, The Goddard School is the premiere spot for early childhood learning for children from six weeks to six years old. With over 600 franchised schools across 37 states and Washington D.C., we serve more than 75,000 students. We use the most current, academically endorsed methods to ensure children have fun while learning the skills they need for long-term success in school and in life.

Each location is privately owned and operated by a franchisee, who sets their own wage and benefit programs. Our mission is to provide a safe, dynamic, and nurturing environment where every child develops into a joyful and confident learner.
