The Goddard School

My daughter has been coming here since she was 3 months old. I wouldn’t leave her in anyone elses care but this wonderful place! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and I know that my daughter is in great hands! I highly recommend this school to anyone! A++

I am thrilled with my decision of sending my son to the Goddard School! From the moment I walked in on my first tour I knew it was the right fit for us, the school is spotless and the staff is beyond helpful and friendly, I wouldn’t send my son anywhere else!

My son has been going to this daycare center since he was 3 months old and he is now 2.5 years. We love this school! The second you walk in first thing you see is fun & tastful decorations, with books and toys every where. Each classroom is bright and super clean. But more importantly, my son LOVES coming here every day. And I don’t blame him! Every minute of their day is filled with exciting activities: playing, reading, dancing, running around the playground. Some of the events included a petting zoo with some small farm animals that came to visit, pony rides, other days they would have theme parties (Red Sox, Patriots, Super Heroes, etc), ice-​cream parties, splash days in the summer, etc. The staff is working very hard to keep every day exciting and interesting for the kids and they all seem to really love to do what they are doing. Througout the day, I would get emailed photos of my kid doing varies things that just lights up my day and he always seems very happy. At the end of they day they would provide a daily report that shows how long my kid napped for, what they had for lunch, what type of things they did that day.
The bottom line is that this is a great daycare with very safe environment and knowledgable and experienced staff, and I always recommend it to my friends.

This school is amazing! My 1 year old and 3 year old both attend this school. We have been coming to this school for several years now and we have never been disappointed. The teachers are wonderful, the facility is clean and my children get a wonderful education. The environment is so friendly. Everyone who works there knows me and my children. I get an updated daily sheet of what my children did that day. I also get pictures emailed to me of my children during their school day. It is such a wonderful feature that the school offers. I can really feel connected to my children even when I am at work. I recommend this school to everyone I know!

I’m so impressed! My 4 month old twins started attending this school two weeks ago. I thought I would have a hard time leaving them with anyone, but honestly feel like they are in even better hands than at home with me. Their curriculum is outstanding even for infants. In one day they do more with my babies than I was able to accomplish my entire maternity leave. One week into daycare my daughter went from barely holding her head up to rolling over! I also really appreciate the pictures and reports that are emailed to me throughout the day.
The teachers and staff are incredibly friendly, organized, and professional. You can tell they all really care about each child.

The best school in that area full stop. I tried kinder care on granite street and there is a huge difference between both schools, i have noticed that other kids moved from there to the goddard too. The school is amazing in terms of cleanness, staff, teachers, skills, activities, and almost everything. Its the only place where i left my son feeling i dropped him at my mom’s place. Mindy (the owner) treats everyone (family and children) as if there are part of her family. All class rooms are connected in terms of relationship, the kids know each other and all the teachers from all classes knows the kids. Its well worth the money. Mindy listens to all concerns and addresses all issues individually to insure that all families are satisfied. I just moved from the area to fenway and i see the tremendous difference between the goddard and other school here. I even noticed how well my son was developing at the goddard and how amazing the years we spent there effected his personality and matureness. Thinking of how this school was for my son and how i would highly recommend it, i thought writing a review about it would pay back at least a little from what they did with my son. I love them and will always do, my son still compares everything in his new school with that in the goddard and he wants to go back so bad. And about the previous review regarding the school staff and how they are related, i think this makes the place better, because this makes the school feel more like family and you will be more comfortable having to know they care to make it a very good place. Plus if i were a good owner i would like the best for my relatives first if they qualify and then to others, because if i dont care for my family why would i care about strangers?!
Bottom line this school is no regret! you will see a very big improvement on your child physically, developmentally, and socially from the first week.

What an amazing school…
My daughter has been going there since she was 7 months, she learned so much, from sign language to speaking in full sentences since she was 14 months… amazing the staff is awesome… clean. The best part is its not owned by someone who is never around the owner is always there and her daughters are there to, I feel so confident dropping off my daughter there.

Our child has attended the Goddard School for several years now. Some of the teachers that we have personally interacted with were the crème DE la crème and some were and are a very nonchalant type of individuals. The staff at this school are somewhat close and mostly all related (which concerns me, because if you have a complaint about someone — you maybe be complaining about the cousin, sister, brother of the director).
We have found the school to be at times very disorganized, down from providing daily reports to billing. Although the front entrance doors have a security pad to enter it, anyone following behind can enter and a good amount of the time there is no coverage at the front. This leaves the parents to identify who comes in and out.
The owner comes across more as if this is a hobby for her than someone who loves to run a daycare facility. Although entitled — the owner has allowed the school to go without needed supplies and concentrate on her expensive taste in cars; don’t get me wrong the owner does have a caring heart; but really doesn’t have a clue as to the happenings of the school.
The director of the facility has a very non welcoming approach — many parents that we have spoken to in regards the school — always express negative feedback in regards to the director. The director of the school is very well known for «gossiping» and talking about other families financial and/​or personal situations.
I should add that the school in itself is VERY clean, and very well kept.
In conclusion the facility would benefit greatly from some proper leadership. Our rating is solely based on the overall experience in comparison to other facilities. If you were to ask us if we would ever return, the answer unfortunately would be «no».

Amazing place! My son has been enrolled here since he was 3 months old. He loves it and I genuinely think they love him too! The teachers are wonderful and the atmosphere is fun, clean and safe. Leaving your child in someone else’s care is one of the hardest parts of parenthood, but the staff at the Goddard School has made it so much easier.
