Supporting Early Education & Development

Our mission is to provide children with a high-quality early childhood education from birth to five years old, the most crucial years of a child's mental, emotional, physical and social development. S.E.E.D. was created to provide scholarship support for children in Buckeye & the surrounding communities. Your support will enable families to enroll in The Goddard School® located in the Verrado® community of Buckeye, a leader in the field of early childhood education.

The Goddard School's comprehensive play-based curriculum provides the optimal environment for a child's development and school readiness.The results of a recent formative assessment by Children's Progress Academic Assessment (CPAA) show that students at The Goddard School consistently outperform the general population of Prekindergarten and Kindergarten CPAA users by a significant margin. Goddard School faculty write their own lesson plans on a daily basis, providing a customized learning approach to meet the needs of each individual child. The Goddard School in Buckeye opened in August 2009 and is co-owned by Nicole & Matt Bigham and Beth & Vince Valentino. As the school has grown, the Bigham's & Valentino's continue to give back to the community in many ways by participating in Reach Out & Read Arizona, Verrado's Joy of Giving, and food & clothing drives for local shelters. The SEED scholarship program is another way local individuals and businesses can help our school give back to the local community and its children.
