The Goddard School of Eagan

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.
-The food is awesome- it’s high quality, super nutritious, and a wide variety- might even be...

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!

basma is very excited to recommend The Goddard School of Eagan

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

Great owner and staff, clean and organized building, owner is onsite 99% of the time, easy parking, excellent accommodation for special requests, lots of new experiences for my little one, and the most important thing, my little one is happy.

We love the staff, the curriculum and the great facility. Our grandson has really blossomed in confidence and curiosity since he started attending last year. We also appreciate owner Kara Berdahl’s hands on leadership, availability and responsiveness. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice of enrolling him at Goddard School of Eagan! Thank you all for everything you do.

The team at Goddard Eagan are exceptional!! They have care for my daughters as if they were their own for the last year. The hardest part of moving has been knowing my girls were going to be leaving the one place I never had to worry about the care they were receiving. They truly received the best care possible. Thank you to Kara and her phenomenal team!!!

I am so grateful for the Goddard school! My daughter struggled in her past childcare settings and the staff here are so supportive and understanding with her. She has learned so much and come so far from where she was in learning. Couldn’t ask for better teachers for her.

From top to bottom the staff is caring, professional, and communicative. I have the highest level of confidence when dropping my child off that they are receiving top-notch care.

Our daughters transferred to The Goddard School in October and we couldn't be happier. They have absolutely blossomed and become so much more outgoing and confident. The combination of a low teacher to child ratio, having Kara, the owner, engaged and on-site, plus having fantastic teachers makes all the difference. We would enthusiastically recommend Goddard for anyone looking into daycare options.

As a first time mom it is scary dropping off your baby for the first time with new people. After the first week having my infant at Goddard I came quick to realize we chose a great school. Goddard is welcoming, clean, secure, and the teachers are lovely! Goddard does a great job at keeping you informed throughout the day and at the end of the day with daily sheets including lots of pictures and information on what they did for the day. I love knowing even as an infant they incorporate a curriculum with different lessons for our babies to learn.

The most amazing school! The staff is knowledgeable and so caring. My son is thriving because of this school :)

We have had a wonderful experience at Goodard Eagan since joining in March! Kara (owner) and the office staff are extremely well organized and supportive of the kids/families. The prompt communication - on a daily, weekly, and as-needed basis - has been so appreciated. The teachers, specifically in the Early Preschool and Infant rooms, are competent, welcoming, and create a safe environment to foster development.

The Goddard School of Eagan has been a wonderful choice for our toddler. The school is clean, the building is secure, amenities are new and up to date, the staff and teachers are friendly and professional, the curriculum fosters continuous learning for the kids, and the communications received from the school about my toddlers day is amazing- I feel informed and engaged about my child’s well-being, and every day am so glad with the choice we have made for childcare/school. Would highly recommend Goddard Eagan to anyone interested, and I am looking forward to continuing in enrollment with my own child.

We chose the Goddard School for my 13 month old and we are very happy with our choice. I love the curriculum they use and the experiences my child is having at school. Meals, snacks, and diapers are included which is a big plus for us. The communication app is also a great feature that sends picture updates throughout the day. Would recommend Goddard School Eagan!

Very welcoming and friendly place with a great curriculum for my child. The teachers were great!

We think that everyone from ownership, directors to the teachers are doing a phenominal job. Compared to other early childhood facilities in the area, there is a level of attention paid to curriculum that is very refreshing.

We recently enrolled our preschool age son at Goddard School (Eagan) and we are big fans. The teachers are amazing, the owner is accessible and right there on site, and the curriculum is top notch (the lessons and activities are focused and well structured!). Best of all, we can see that our son loves it and have noticed how much he is learning and growing. Glad to be a part of this wonderful school!

The Goddard School of Eagan has a fantastic classroom and program for school-aged children. The activities, staff, and food are all amazing! My daughter had a fantastic experience and was sad when it ended.

My son and bonus daughter love it here!! Wouldn't trust any other place with my babies 🤍

This is a great day care, we loved our time with this school! Kara and the Matt, the owners, and the entire staff truly care about your kids and their growth, needs, and happiness. They have a nice indoor gym, outdoor play spaces, awesome healthy meals for the kids all provided, and fun "splash" days in the summer and "bike days." Can't say enough great things. Thank you!
