The Goddard School of Eagan

As a first-time mom returning to work, leaving my 12-week-old was incredibly emotional—but choosing The Goddard School of Eagan was the best decision I could have made. The staff has shown genuine love, care, and support not only to my baby, who is thriving, but also to me as I navigated this major transition with their constant reassurance and kindness. Their nurturing environment has given me peace of mind and made us feel truly seen, supported, and part of a caring community.

Kara and her team of caregivers are truly best-in-class. Cannot recommend the Goddard School of Eagan more highly. Thank you for providing an incredible experience for our family.

We have loved our experience at Goddard so far! Our son seems to be learning a ton and has so much fun doing all the activities they do in his preschool class. The leadership and all the staff have been super friendly, kind, and communicative!

A fantastic and wonderfully run Early Childhood Education Center. Kara (the owner) is very dedicated to ensuring that the students and staff have the best experience possible!

Amazing place. Kara is the owner and works extremely hard to make sure the kids and her staff have the best experience possible.

Very well run school. Owner is well respected and demonstrates extreme care for the children and families who are enrolled there as well as the staff. The owner genuinely puts her heart and soul into this place. And it shows. Would highly recommend as a place for your child to be well cared for and thrive and an amazing place to work.

This school is both incredible for kiddos and amazing to work at!! I’ve been here since it opened and have seen firsthand how passionate and devoted the owner is to this school and the kiddos who go here. The amount of care they put into making it a job we love makes it so easy to pour our love into the kids and their learning.

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!
