As toddlers are rapidly developing both physically and cognitively, the Toddler classroom is where their natural curiosity is fostered, and their language and communication skills are nurtured. A lifelong love of learning starts early, and we believe in providing brand-new learners with the tools they need to be successful. In the Toddler classroom, our proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning™, comes to life as expert teachers harness children’s natural curiosity, guiding them to explore the world around them through hands-on learning, play and asking questions. Teachers support your child's social-emotional growth while helping them develop important physical skills. Your little one will build social awareness, form meaningful connections with others and have plenty of opportunities to strengthen essential skills like persistence and independence.

Description
In our Preschool classroom, children start their journeys into a cooperative learning environment where they can discover interests and learn in a more structured setting. At The Goddard School®, we recognize that classrooms are made up of many unique children and teachers work to create engaging, innovative, play-based lessons with the interests and needs of every child in mind. Through the power of asking a question, your child will learn how to seek answers and advocate for themselves in the classroom. The Wonder of Learning™ curriculum takes your child's natural curiosity and encourages them to ask even more questions because asking questions fuels learning. When children want to know something, they learn faster and learning becomes an understanding that lasts a lifetime.

Parent Reviews
The Goddard School of Tysons has been such a huge part of our family’s life and truly feels like an extension of our family. All three of my children started there at 5 months old, and we’ve experienced almost every classroom over the years (Shoutout to Ms. Almira & Ms. Yashu for making such a lasting impact on our kids). Our oldest stayed through Kindergarten (with Ms. K), which we highly recommend, and we still have two children there now. We truly can’t recommend Goddard enough. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring, supportive, and genuinely invested in the children. From the warm greetings every morning from Ms. Lulu, Ms. Muna, Ms. Taylor, and Ms. Gina to the love and care shown in every classroom, Goddard will always hold such a special place in our hearts. ❤️
Our daughter has really enjoyed her time at The Goddard School of Tysons. The teachers have always been kind, caring, and supportive, and we’ve seen a big improvement in her confidence and communication skills over time. We also appreciate how welcoming the staff is and how much effort they put into creating a positive environment for the kids. It gives us peace of mind knowing she is happy and well cared for at school. Overall, we’ve had a very positive experience and are thankful to the teachers and staff for all they do.
It’s been a wonderful experience during Alicia with Goddard. Ms. Ulkar and Ms. Ruth are amazing teachers. They’ve been so patient with my daughter that so sensitive with anything. Now, Alicia builds more friendships with her classmates. We are continuing to be part of The Goddard school. We will put our youngest daughter this fall. I really highly recommend for all families. We love Goddard ❤️
We are so happy with our experience at the Goddard School. This was my daughter’s first experience attending school, and she absolutely loves it. The staff are all very kind, welcoming, and caring. A special thank to her teacher, Ms. Shroug, who has been truly amazing. She is patient, loving, and passionate about working with children. We appreciate all the support and positive environment the school provides, and we highly recommend it to other families.
We now have 2 children at Goddard and have been here since 2023. We’ve had nothing but a positive experience at Goddard from our son all the way from the two’s classroom now to continue onto kindergarten here in the fall. We also started our infant daughter in the infant classroom at 4 months old and have continued to see her thrive in this wonderfully welcoming and warm environment. All of the staff and teachers are wonderful and truly truly feels like a family.
We absolutely love the Goddard school. My daughter's teachers are Ms. Almira and Ms. Bhavna and we cannot say enough how wonderful they both are! She loves going to school, talks about both of them at home, and I can see how much both teachers care about their students and the students' wellbeing. We toured a few places, but just instantly felt the connection at this school. Ms. Laura, the director of the school has put together a great group of administrators and I enjoy seeing all of them every single day when I drop off my daughter. They all know her name and mine, which I really appreciate. Special shout out to Ms. Taylor, Ms. Muna, Ms. Gina, and Ms. Lulu for all of their hard work and efforts in making the school such a great place.
We’ve been at Goddard for almost 3 years and the staff is super friendly and attentive to my child’s needs. It’s a very warm environment for kids. Our teacher Ms. Aeyon keeps the kids very entertained and challenges them everyday. I definitely recommend Goddard to other parents.
Goddard is like family. All of the teachers here are so friendly. My daughter has truly thrived from the love and care she receives here. Miss Shroug of the Cardinals Class is especially warm, thoughtful, and attentive. Also, shout out to Miss Azi whose arts and craft skills are next-level amazing. These two are an inspiration.
The Goddard School has provided our child a safe and loving environment to learn and grow. The curriculum is diverse and we love that other languages such as Mandarin are taught. I cannot compliment Ms. Laura enough on how she has handled the pandemic. She communicated with us regularly and I never feared for my child's safety.
The Goddard School of Tysons is an amazing place for kids. The on-site owner, Laura, as well as all the administrative staff and teachers are the best of the best. They're always looking out for the best ways to engage and educate the kids, but they also understand that the ages they're dealing with require a lot of nurturing and caring. We love Goddard, and couldn't imagine our kids getting anything better.
