The Goddard School is scheduled to open an 11-classroom childcare center at 2613 Legends Way in Crestview Hills in December 2026. The facility is expected to serve about 185 students and add roughly 30 teaching jobs to the community.
Owners Mark and Wendy Reinhart, who have run the Goddard School's Anderson Township, Ohio, location since 2010, are expanding into Northern Kentucky with the renovated and expanded facility, WLWT reported. It will be their second Goddard School location.
The sources differ slightly on the building's size. WLWT reported the center will span about 12,000 square feet, while the NKY Tribune put the figure at 12,200 square feet.
"Our journey with The Goddard School began as parents, when we saw the incredible growth and development our own three sons experienced, and that ultimately inspired us to become school owners," Mark Reinhart said in a statement.
Reinhart said the Crestview Hills location gives his family a chance to share that experience with more families in the region.
The school's planned amenities lean heavily on outdoor space. The facility will include an indoor gymnasium, multiple turf playgrounds, a soccer field and an outdoor classroom. That outdoor classroom will be used for music, dramatic play and hands-on exploration, according to WLWT. The school will also be equipped with sanitization equipment, according to the NKY Tribune.
The Crestview Hills school will join 10 existing Goddard School locations across Greater Cincinnati, according to the NKY Tribune. The Goddard School is a national early childhood education franchise with locations across the country.
For Crestview Hills families, the new center adds a sizable childcare option along the Legends Way corridor. A specific December opening date has not been announced.
