# Overview

Park is scheduled to open in spring 2027. This will be the first Goddard location in Willow Park and the first school owned by local couple Brittany and Paul Boyett, who have lived in the community for 14 years.

# Location and facility

  • Address: 700 Willow Crossing East, Willow Park, Texas.
  • Size: 11,500 square feet.
  • Classrooms: 11 classrooms with capacity for approximately 170 students.

Facility features include a gym, dedicated outdoor learning area and multiple playgrounds. The school will use hospital-grade sanitization equipment to support a healthy environment for children and staff.

# Program and curriculum

The school will implement The Goddard School's Wonder of Learning curriculum. This program is described as inquiry-based: lessons and activities are designed around children's curiosity, with teachers guiding exploration and investigation.

Wonder of Learning was developed by a team of educators, researchers, physicians and early childhood experts. The program includes:

  • Hands-on, interest-driven learning experiences.
  • Built-in assessment of academic progress and social-emotional development.
  • Family communication features delivered through a proprietary app.

The emphasis on inquiry-based learning is intended to build critical thinking and problem-solving skills while supporting social and emotional development.

# Jobs and community impact

Opening the school will add about 25 teaching positions to the Willow Park community. The Boyetts frame the project as a way to provide trusted early education options to local families and to give back to their community.

For area parents, the school offers another licensed choice for infant and early childhood care with an organized curriculum and facility features that target safety, health and active learning.

# Enrollment and contact

Families interested in enrollment or more information can call the Willow Park location at 817-214-8500.

# What to expect next

The school plans to open in spring 2027. Expect continued local announcements about tours, open houses and enrollment timelines as the opening date approaches. The Goddard School brand provides centralized curriculum and operational support, while these owners will run the local center and hire staff.

Brittany Boyett said bringing The Goddard School experience to Willow Park was driven by a desire to "make a lasting difference in the lives of local children and families" and to provide a "safe, nurturing environment where children can learn, grow and thrive."
