The Goddard School of Dedham

Our son has been in The Goddard School all year and we couldn’t be happier. They are kind, nurturing, and foster learning and development. We love Miss Courtney!

I was extremely nervous about my son starting daycare but that quickly changed. All of the staff are so friendly and my son gets so excited at drop off and practically jumps into his teachers arms. I appreciate all the love and care he receives and the Goddard school has very quickly become a home away from home and second family.

My kids have been going here since the school opened. Prior to this school opening, they went to one of the other local chain daycares in the area. I have been happier with the Goddard School in pretty much all aspects. The curriculum seems much more well defined. The turnover of teachers is much lower. And the kids seems to love it. I'll happily keep sending my kids here until it's time for the public schools.

My child is in Goddard school, Dedham. We love the teachers and the owner very much, who are very professional, very patient and responsive. The center is new with nice classrooms and playground too.

Our infant has attended the Goddard School of Dedham for about 3 months and we are glad he’s there. The owner, director, and assistant director have been a delight to get to know. They are extremely kind and always responsive. We knew our son loved school when he started smiling at drop-off. We are confident he is learning, we love receiving daily photos of classroom activities, and we are thankful for the detailed wrap up notes at the close of each day. We’re continually impressed by the curriculum and look forward to continuing his education at Goddard!

As a parent I could not be happier with our experience at Goddard Dedham. The staff and administrators are caring, thoughtful, creative, and dedicated to providing a great experience for the children. The daily communication and photos we receive are so helpful, and it's amazing to see the bond that has developed between my child and his teachers. He has truly developed and blossomed going to Goddard Dedham! It's so reassuring knowing my child is in such good hands during the day, and the staff and administration have been responsive and helpful any time we need anything. I would absolutely recommend Goddard Dedham.

As a mother and pediatrician, I am truly grateful to have our son enrolled at The Goddard School in Dedham. Our little guy joined the older-infant classroom five months ago, and since that time, we have seen him thrive in the safe, supportive, and socially- and intellectually-stimulating environment created by the Goddard team.

His caretakers have done a wonderful job communicating with us about his daily experiences via the Tadpoles app and have given us every reason to feel confident that he is being very well cared for each day. We have loved seeing the many activities that their class engages in, from playground time to story time to arts and crafts projects, and we feel that participating in these activities with other young children has enriched our son’s learning and development in ways that may not have been possible at home.

In addition, we have been...

The Goddard School in Dedham is the best early education school in the area. My children were enrolled in another center based childcare school within Dedham and although my children were safe and cared for, the curriculum at The Goddard is superior.

Early education is tough work that requires passionate teachers and The Goddard in Dedham has high standards for their teachers and staff. The difference is apparent in the progress my son has made with his social and educational achievements.

COVID protocols have been impressive along with the extra activities that are planned that help build a community for your child and family. Most recently we attended a trunk or treat event where we were able to meet other families that attend the school.

I’m continually impressed by The Goddard School and highly recommend to any family looking for high...

Our son has been loving Goddard Dedham since he was 4 months old. Every day he is excited to go to school and runs to the door with his backpack ready to go learn! All of the teachers and directors have been so caring towards our boy and it is such a comfort knowing he is in such loving hands.

The teachers send us photos throughout the day showing our boy and his fun activities - reading, art, playing with friends on the beautiful playground - and it is so fun to get a glimpse of what he is up to each day! Even in the toddler classes the school follows a curriculum so these little minds can develop beyond just their social skills. He has learned so much in his time at Goddard, and my husband and I are so grateful to have the Goddard Family as resources we can lean on. Thank you, Goddard!!!
