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!

We love the Goddard School of Eagan! Kara and all of the staff have been so wonderful to work with and we always feel confident our child is well taken care of.

Amazing school! The teachers are super helpful with assistance in connection to what we are doing at home. The building is always clean and in amazing shape. The best part of Goddard is the curriculum based learning that the children get during the day and all the different activities they participate in the continue their growth during the early years. I would highly recommend Goddard to anyone who needs a daycare that focuses on education for their child!!

We have been at Goddard for almost a year and have had wonderful experiences. The director is fabulous. Everyone is so inviting and the learning my child is getting exceeds all of my expectations. We are SO HAPPY we made the change to Goddard last year. The teachers are fantastic! We would highly recommend sending your children here.

Kara the director runs a well oiled ship. She is kind and helpful! My child is very happy in their care.

As a first-time mom, entrusting my infant daughter to others filled me with anxiety, but The Goddard School has proven to be so much more than daycare. They've created an environment where children truly flourish, maintaining exceptional standards for care and education. Under the guidance of her remarkable teachers, my daughter has developed physically, emotionally, and intellectually in ways that amaze me daily.
Though she initially struggled with the transition in certain ways—causing stress for us both—the unwavering support from her teachers, staff, and owner Kara helped her and me through those challenging days. She beams with joy when I pick her up. I couldn't be more thankful to have found Goddard as our extended family, partnering with me to nurture my daughter's growth and happiness!

Kara, the teachers, and the facility are incredible! It’s great knowing each week I drop off my children they are in good hands.

So far a wonderful experience. Lennon seems to enjoy the day care. Lots of activities and toys for them to play with as well!

We LOVE Goddard Eagan and would highly recommend to anyone looking for extraordinary care for their children! A few of our favorite things:
-We feel like we are a part of more than just a school; it’s a community of support. The teachers and staff are invested in getting to know our children and our whole family. We’ve always felt comfortable to ask any question. Every morning we’re greeted with smiles and hellos as we enter the building. It makes a big difference in our days!
-We always tryst our kids are safe and well cared for. The facility is kept so clean and organized.
-The curriculum is amazing, we’ve seen our kids thrive in developing towards their learning milestones. The teachers have customized the curriculum to our kid’s specific needs and interests.

We have been beyond happy with the Goddard School of Eagan. The teachers are great, and the owner Kara is very involved in the daily
operations. Our son has learned so much and had so much fun. There is very low turnover and the school is very clean and organized. I can’t recommend Goddard enough.

We have been so pleased with the care our child has received at The Goddard School of Eagan! Our child loves going to school and runs to her teachers. She loves to point out all of her art projects in the hall and is always having a blast in the updates we receive. Highly recommend to any parents in the area!

As a first time mother who has a million worries Goddard has been a source of comfort. I know my son's growth and surpassing of milestones have been achieved with help from the structure and amazing people of this school.

Where to begin? The school is bright and cheerful and kid artwork fills the hallways. Kara, the on-site owner, is accessible and involved and knows all of the kiddos. The teachers are wonderful and come up with creative activities that my son can’t stop talking about when we pick him up. Goddard feels like our second home—we will miss it when our son graduates!

We are new to Minnesota and have been anxious about settling our 2 and 4 year old in a preschool/daycare. Goddard Eagan has been instrumental at helping us make the transition seamless for the kids. The teachers and staff are all incredible! They are kind, fair and our kids love them. The owner, Kara, is so easy to work with and you can tell how caring she is with the kids, staff and families. We have loved our time here!

We were so nervous about sending our little girl to daycare for the first time one year ago. To say we are impressed is an understatement!! The staff is welcoming, kind, compassionate, and genuinely care about our daughter and us as parents! Our daughter has thrived in this learning environment and is excited to go every day…even telling us she misses the teachers and friends at school on the weekends! We highly recommend The Goddard School Eagan!! You won’t be disappointed!!❤️

We have been so impressed with Goddard School of Eagan .The staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and truly takes the time to understand each child’s needs. Our toddler has made wonderful progress in learning and social skills, and we can see how much fun they have every day.Highly recommend!

I absolutely love sending my daughter to the Goddard School of Eagan. The teachers are beyond talented. Each day they are so kind to both myself and my daughter and really care for her academic, social, and emotional needs. They truly go above and beyond for your child and to make your family feel welcome. Kara, the owner, goes out her way to make sure she knows your family, child, and sets up the sweetest family activities for you to attend. This school truly has a family feel where the adults care so much about the children, and your child cares about them too. My daughter always has photos of amazing learning activities each day like tracing her name and comes to school each day excited, confident, and loved. I have recommended this school to anyone who asks, it is truly a loving school.

We have had only positive experiences with Goddard and have recommended it to several other parents. Staff and teachers are highly responsive. They act with kindness and compassion!

Amazing staff & leadership! The team is very competent, caring, responsive, educational and fun! My son develops daily since being enrolled at this school. Would recommend to any parents!

They have really clean facilities, kara seems to get to know every child and their family. Great teachers and consistent care and communication.
