KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - November 10, 2022 - Goddard Systems, LLC, manager of The Goddard School franchise system is celebrating the opening of its 600th location in Murfreesboro, Tenn., in the greater Nashville area.

“The need for high-quality childcare has never been greater, and as we open the 600th Goddard School, we remain committed to building upon Goddard’s rich history while making the world a better place through early childhood development,” said Dennis R. Maple, chairman and CEO, Goddard Systems.

Parents nationally are desiring an early childhood education partner that can help their children reacclimate to in-person learning, support social-emotional development and thrive academically. According to research commissioned by The Goddard School, 61% of parents with children ages 0-6 believe the pandemic has put their child behind both socially and developmentally, while 70% feel social-emotional learning is the most important growth area for their child. As Goddard Schools expand into new and existing communities, they continue to provide not only essential, high-quality childcare and early childhood education, but also a foundation for academics and social-emotional development.

The childcare industry is the backbone of the American economy, as many parents cannot return to work without access to safe, quality care options.

The 600th Goddard School in Murfreesboro is led by experienced educators and longtime Goddard franchisees.

“We are thrilled to open our third Goddard location because we’ve experienced the strength and support of the brand, are inspired by its mission, and see in our schools every day how important it is for children to receive high-quality education in a safe and nurturing environment,” said Leisa Byars, who co-owns three Goddard Schools in the greater Nashville area, including the Murfreesboro location.
