The Goddard School of Eagan

Can’t say enough good things about this school! The curriculum is outstanding (yoga, experiments, daily art, activities I never would have thought, multiple physical playtimes a day), the teachers are caring, patient, and kind, the facility is absolutely spotless and beautiful and the administration runs a stellar program with many fun dress up days/creative activities/fun decorations. The communication with parents is next level - we get communication through an app throughout the day and the responsiveness to any/all of my questions is SO quick and thorough.

My 3 year old has been calling herself a scientist after doing numerous experiments at school. We’ve seen a huge improvement in her confidence in social interactions.

We love love love this school.

This is a FANTASTIC place to work!! Our owners are amazing and the director is great! The families are so sweet and it’s very much a family vibe.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Goddard School. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a true sense of community and care. The owner, Kara is always on site and is genuinely invested in all the children and their families. The teachers are nurturing, patient and focused on each child’s growth and happiness. It is such a comfort knowing my son is in a safe, loving environment that encourages curiosity, kindness and creativity. We are so grateful to be a part of the Goddard family and highly recommend to anyone looking for a place for their little ones!

My child has been attending Goddord for over a year . Watching him grow as a small child has been nothing but a delight and the Goddord school has a tremendous amount to do with it. Most importantly, my child loves attending here. I love the small class sizes and the daily activities, along with the people running it

The staff at Goddard Eagan are dedicated to providing a high quality of care to our kiddo. I can tell that they do everything they can to help our child grow, learn and thrive. The communication from our teachers and the Director helped us feel comfortable leaving our baby there from day 1.

Goddard has been such a wonderful place for our child. They’re attentive to their needs and provides a fun and safe environment. The director and staff are all approachable and friendly. They know my child by name and greet them everyday. I love getting updates on the classes curriculum and my child’s progress. They’re a newer location, and we are excited to see what else they offer to exsisting families and new ones too!

We moved here from abroad due to my husband's job, and I was very worried about whether our daughter, who didn’t understand any English at the time, would be able to adjust. However, everyone at The Goddard School gave us such a warm welcome. I'm sure it was challenging for the teachers during the first two months, especially when our daughter cried and didn’t want to go to school because she couldn’t understand the language. But they patiently supported her and came up with many creative ways to help her enjoy coming to school. Now, she goes to school with a big smile on her face, and we are truly grateful to everyone.

We love the Goddard school! The teachers are wonderful and they do tons of great activities with the kids. Our son loves going there. It’s far better than our last daycare.

We ended up transferring our son to Goddard and could not be happier with how smooth of a transition it was or his experience in preschool thus far. He speaks very positively about his teachers and the daily learning activities. A huge plus and part of our decision in choosing Goddard was having the owner, Kara, onsite. The care she takes in running the school resonates in every interaction.

My daughter has been a part of Goddard for 2 years. (She switched over from another Goddard Edina a year ago because of a move)
So glad we found them! She’ll be going to kindergarten in the fall, but her time with Goddard (both of them) has been great. She’s made friends, her teachers are very nice and communicate with us well. I know she’s in good hands when I drop her off in the morning. Thank you to all the teachers and to Kara for all that you do!
