The Goddard School of Broadview Heights

Bios

• Mr Kyle

  I am so proud to be part of this wonderful school; our children, parents, and faculty make an amazing family! Prior to owning the school, I worked for Goddard Systems LLC (Franchisor of The Goddard School). I decided early on that I firmly believed in the educational program that Goddard provides. I believe we change the lives of children and families. I believe we provide the environment, materials, direction, and opportunities for experiences that will promote a child's innate ability to learn and develop. I believe every child can become the best version of themselves where they are prepared, balanced, and ready for life.
