Goddard School Of Waldorf

At The Goddard School of Waldorf, we believe every child is more than a student-they are a unique thinker, explorer, and dreamer. With over two decades of leadership in early childhood education, our team is committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and academically rich environment where children develop not only school readiness but also a lifelong love for learning. What makes us special is not just our curriculum, but our culture. Families who walk through our doors become part of a community built on trust, collaboration, and care. Our nationally recognized programs, Maryland EXCELS participation, and pursuit of NAEYC Accreditation reflect our dedication to the highest standards of early education. From infants through kindergarten, we foster curiosity, confidence, and compassion-because we know education is not only about knowledge, but about building character and preparing children to thrive in the world beyond our classrooms. Here at Waldorf, children don't just grow, they flourish.

Wonderful Child Development Center. My 2 year old boy has been with the Goddard School in Waldorf since he was six month old. The facility is warm, welcoming and cheerful with different rooms dedicated to providing an age appropriate learning environment. The facility is safe and secure with a dual control entry making it almost impossible for an unauthorized person to enter. The teachers are educated professionals who have chosen child development as a career not just a paycheck. My little boy has made amazing progress and continues to amaze me daily with little songs, colors, shapes, and growing vocabulary he shares with us. His vocabulary and speech have been somewhat delayed so his progress is testimonial to his teachers and learning environment. They have made wonderful efforts to successfully potty train my little boy and for two working parents this is priceless :). I love the fact that the teacher to child ratio is less the the state requirement. But I suppose the biggest peace of mind a parent can have is showing up early and peeking through the window to see your child engaged in an activity (not just controlled chaos) and HAPPY!!
