The Goddard School Tuition Cost

The Goddard School’s tuition rates depend on the location of the school and the child’s age, along with whether the child is attending full-time or part-time. Because The Goddard School’s locations are franchised, it is best to contact the school you are interested in for its exact tuition rates. However, we contacted representatives at several Goddard School locations across the U.S. and found the following tuition estimates.

Full-Time Tuition

The Goddard School offers full-time care and learning programs for children ages six weeks to six years. Representatives quoted tuition costs within the following ranges for each age group:

  • Infants: $1,600 to $1,650 per month
  • Toddlers: $1,500 to $1,600 per month
  • Preschool/Kindergarten: $1,400 to $1,500 per month

Note that tuition may be higher or lower than these estimates in your area; for example, certain cities like Denver and New York City tend to have higher childcare costs than smaller cities in the Midwest.

Part-Time Tuition

The Goddard School offers part-time “Kids Club” programs for before- and after-school care, as well as a part-time program that offers fewer days of care per week. These programs usually cost between $130 and $215 per week or around $520 to $860 per month, customer service representatives told us.

Additional Costs to Consider

There are some additional costs to consider beyond The Goddard School’s tuition rates. Some school locations offer a food service program for an additional cost; if your school does not provide this or you decide not to use it, you will need to budget for packed meals and snacks.

Extra activities and events, like pizza day or book fairs, may also be available. Your child is not required to participate in these activities, but if they choose to do so, you may need to pay a fee, or the child may need to have some spending money on hand.
