The Goddard School

This is definitely the best school for youngsters in Middletown. My daughter started there at 18 months after staying home with me and her father (who both work at home) since she was born. She was very cautious and tended to be scared of other children/​new situations. I picked Goddard because I liked the class size and the teachers from the moment I visited. Since she has begun my daughter has become a real social butterfly. No longer does she cling to her father in new situations — she embraces new kids and loves playing with them! I attribute all of that to Goddard’s attention to her. She LOVES going there too — in fact, on days she doesn’t go she will cry to leave if she sees her school bag. Snacks are provided at the school, although you bring your own lunch. The school is awesome in that they bring guests very often to visit with kids. My daughter has done Yoga, had a visit from the zoo, visits from museums, learned more sign language and words in spanish. This is all before 2 years old! I have heard it is more pricey here than other daycare settings but it is 100% worth it. I also like the security at the school — you can’t even get into the building without a fingerprint reader. The owner and staff have given us a lot of personal attention as well, which is so refreshing. I really feel like my daughter is valued there. Each report I get at the end of the day includes something fun she did that day — and each day its very different. Do not HESITATE for an instant to put your child into Goddard.
