As owners & grandparents, their goal is to continue to provide a foundation of learning to all the young children in Alexandria who are the beacon of the great future. They are excited for the opportunity and look forward to serving the Old Town Alexandria community.

At The Goddard School®, we believe every color belongs in the world, just like every child! Our Schools are spaces where children feel loved, seen and valued for who they are because we provide a safe community where everyone belongs.

Happy National Creativity Day! 🎨✨

Creativity is all about giving children the freedom to make and play on their own. An activity we love at Goddard is painting with anything BUT a paintbrush! 🖌️ Whether it’s string, fork, or feathers, children can use everyday objects to create extraordinary works of art. Creativity is child-led, so let your child's imagination run wild as they learn how to innovate while they create!
