Local couple to open premium early childhood education center to serve area families
WILLOW PARK, Texas – The Goddard School®, a nationally acclaimed early childhood education franchise, is set to open its first location in Willow Park in the spring of 2027, bringing the inquiry-based learning experience to area families. The Goddard School of Willow Park is the first location for owners Brittany and Paul Boyett, a local couple who have lived in the community for 14 years.
Located at 700 Willow Crossing East, this 11,500-square-foot early childhood education center will have 11 classrooms to provide care for and educate approximately 170 students from six weeks to six years old. Additionally, the school will add approximately 25 teaching jobs to the community.
“What drew me to bring The Goddard School experience to Willow Park was the opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of local children and families,” said Brittany Boyett. “Our area is growing rapidly, and many parents are looking for trusted early childhood education options. Opening this school allows us to give back to the community we care deeply about while providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow and thrive.”
The new school will have a gym and a dedicated outdoor learning area alongside multiple playgrounds. Additionally, the school will be equipped with hospital-grade sanitization equipment to ensure a healthy environment.
The Goddard School’s exclusive inquiry-based education program, Wonder of Learning®, embraces how children learn best—through their innate curiosity—because research confirms that when wonder leads, learning follows. Wonder of Learning features a cutting-edge curriculum developed by a diversely skilled group of educators, researchers, physicians and early childhood experts, as well as built-in assessment of academic and social-emotional progress and family communication via a proprietary app.
Inquiry-based learning, which guides the Wonder of Learning curriculum, is a teaching and learning approach that focuses on the natural curiosity and sense of wonder children bring into the classroom. With teacher-guided inquiry topics, children learn about themselves and the world around them by exploring their interests, investigating concepts and asking questions.
