As part of a larger franchise system, in operation for 35 years, we are the premiere spot for early childhood learning for children from six weeks to six years old. We have over 600 franchised Schools with more than 75,000 students in 37 states and Washington D.C. The Goddard School uses the most current, academically endorsed methods to ensure that children have fun while learning the skills they need for long-term success in school and in life.

Our on-site owner and operator, Jenna Ellis, is on-site daily and active in all aspects of Goddard Windward. She is a former public school teacher turned preschool teacher who transitioned into management due to noticing a lack of support for teachers BY teachers in Early Childhood Education leadership teams. Here at Goddard Windward, we are a teacher-focused school.

Goddard Windward has won a plethora of awards (including Best Preschool in Alpharetta for YEARS!) based on our teaching teams, leadership team and community involvement. Jenna has been with Goddard Windward since 2013 and both of her children are graduates. She brought her husband, Zach, on board in 2019 creating a truly family-run and family-focused environment that allows for our teachers to be supported.

Each Goddard School location is privately owned and operated by Goddard Franchisor LLC franchisees. The Goddard School franchise owner(s) are the employers at each school, and the franchise owner(s) set their own wage and benefit programs, which vary by location.
