Welcome to The Goddard School® of Edina, where every day is filled with fun learning experiences! Each day, caring and attentive teachers provide your child with countless opportunities to grow academically, socially, emotionally and physically in a safe and loving environment. In The Goddard School®'s unique and flexible learning environment, child development is about more than just reaching milestones. It’s about turning everyday encounters into teachable moments, allowing your child’s interests to influence their learning experiences by balancing academic, mental, physical and social-emotional growth. But most of all, it’s about igniting your little one's curiosity and instilling a lifelong love of learning. When it comes to learning, one size rarely fits all. Our F.L.EX.® Framework (Fun Learning Experience) gives your child the freedom to learn beyond a traditional lesson plan, as teachers incorporate organic, real-life experiences that help little ones navigate valuable teachable moments. Whether it’s learning about precipitation on a rainy day or counting the toes on a T-Rex with a child who loves dinosaurs, F.L.EX.® gives your little one the chance to discover the world from the safety and comfort of their classroom. Our school also provides Enrichments to all our families. Kindermusik, Yoga, Portuguese/Spanish, Soccer, Sign Language, and Handwriting without Tears to name a few are all included. Our Health and Safety Standards include a daily QA check of the entire facility as well as a state of the art ZONO machine to sanitize classroom supplies. We go above and beyond in order to provide a healthy and safe environment for our students to thrive and have a lifelong love for learning!
