The Goddard School of Roseville is a CCLD-licensed center on Oak Meadow Drive serving infants through Pre-K (ages 6 weeks to 6 years), with a capacity of 144 under license 313624657. Backed by a local family-owner investment, the center has earned perfect Yelp ratings (5.0 stars from 12 reviews) and a 4.8-star Google rating (highest among newly researched Roseville providers), with zero citations across four inspections since opening in 2023. Its Wonder of Learning curriculum emphasizes whole-child development through hands-on activities including a Child Learning Kitchen, dramatic arts, music, yoga, and sign language. Monday-Friday operation from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm with daily photo reports accommodates working families, though its recent licensing and high capacity may appeal less to families seeking established, boutique settings.
