On Saturday, September 27, 2025, the Woodinville Chamber had the pleasure of officially welcoming The Goddard School of Woodinville to the Woodinville business community during a celebratory Ribbon Cutting Ceremony. This milestone event marked the beginning of an exciting chapter for families in the area who are seeking a nurturing and innovative early education experience for their children.

The ribbon cutting event brought together members of the Woodinville Chamber staff and board members, City Councilmembers Sarah Ardnt and Michelle Evans, families, and staff to commemorate this exciting moment. Owners Josh and Melissa, parents of three young boys, shared their gratitude and excitement for the opportunity to bring The Goddard School to Woodinville. Their vision is rooted in a deep understanding of what children need to thrive, both academically and personally, and their commitment to community is reflected in every detail of the school. The celebration itself was filled with warmth, laughter, and local flavor, including a “Donut Miss Our Ribbon Cutting” treat that made the event especially welcoming. Thank you to Hugs & Mini Donuts for being part of their big day!

As the ribbon was cut and the doors officially opened, the sense of excitement and community pride was unmistakable. The Goddard School of Woodinville represents more than just a new business, it symbolizes an investment in the future of our children and our city. We congratulate Josh, Melissa, and the entire Goddard School team on this inspiring beginning and look forward to watching their students learn, grow, and thrive in the years ahead.
