The Goddard School of Dedham

The school takes great care of the kids. Our oldest graduated and our youngest is having a great time following in his footsteps. The teachers exhibit professionalism, care, and a commitment to their educational mission.

We have two kids in the Goddard School, our first started when she was 9 months and is now in the preschool program. We love everything about the school. The teachers are fantastic and always happy and engaging with the students. The administrative staff is also top-notch and organized. Never had any concerns about my kids safety or learning when they are at the Goddard school.

Goddard is like my children's second home. Every teacher and staff member knows both of my children's names and I can focus on work during the day while my children are in their care knowing they will be safely looked after, have fun while also learning and growing.

The Goddard School has been amazing for our son, who joined for his preschool years after not progressing at a local Montessori school. At 5.5 years old, our sweet boy has learned important gross and fine motor skills, life values, and is even already reading! We are thrilled with the quality of the curriculum and teaching at the Goddard School, coupled with all the additional fun programs they offer.

We have had our two boys here since October of 2024. It’s been a great experience overall and I would highly recommend Goddard Dedham. They give an immense sense of security and safety, and they have very attentive staff. The kids are constantly being engaged by the teachers. The indoor gym is crucial for our oldest he needs to move around a lot.

For our infant the experience has been flawless. The only minor negative for our toddler is the teacher turnover has been kind of high but not for his friends in the class.

For both my wife and I the parking for the commuter rail has been a nice perk. Goddard organizes outings and get togethers for all the families so that’s also been a nice plus.

We absolutely love all of the teachers and administrators at Goddard School of Dedham. They are so on top of things, introducing new activities and fun school-wide celebrations each week. We are so thankful our child goes there!

We love the teachers and faculty at the Goddard School our children are learning and thriving and happy to go to school everyday.

Goddard is clean, organized, safe, enriching, & loving! My kids adore their teachers. They look forward to yoga and music and all the special activities.

Our son has been at Goddard for 8m now and he has had an extremely positive experience. The teachers are all very attentive and fun and plan so many activities. Our son is always happy when we pick him up and we feel very confident he is in a safe and caring environment.

Quality of education is good, teachers are excellent and supportive

Amazing staff, starting from director, office and all the teachers. Always there to help. My kids thrive and have the best time. They make education smart and interesting.

The Goddard School of Dedham has been an incredible experience for our family. The teachers are warm, dedicated, and truly invested in each child’s growth. The administration is organized, communicative, and always welcoming. Most importantly, the curriculum is engaging. It’s amazing to see how much my son is learning while still having so much fun. He looks forward to going to school every day, which says it all! We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching environment.

Having my daughter enrolled at The Goddard School has been a truly wonderful experience. The teachers are fantastic-they’re attentive to all her needs and create an environment where she feels safe and supported.

My wife and I absolutely love the Goddard School of Dedham and all the staff and teachers there. Every day our kids seem to having so much fun and constantly learning things at an amazing pace. From classroom transitions or age milestone transitions, Goddard has helped us out immensely with all of it, and we're so thankful for the teachers and the job they do there!

We love the Goddard School. Our third child is following in the footsteps of the older two. She has entered the preschool program, and you can see how much she is learning each day. She will be well prepared for kindergarten. She loves going to school each day. She loves her friends and teachers and even names some of her stuffies after teachers! You can see how much the teachers and staff care for my child.

The kid I pick up every day from school (January, as of this writing) is a totally different person than the kid I dropped off for the first time in September. The teachers, staff, and team at The Goddard School have helped to mold and shape our son into a social, kind, wonderful young man. Since starting school, he's more outgoing, he's more talkative, he shares stories of his friends and teachers almost constantly, and perhaps most importantly, he's learning. There's not a day that goes by that we don't see the positive effects that school is having on our child, which makes enrolling him one of the best things our family has ever done. I would, without hesitation, recommend The Goddard School of Dedham to parents in the Northern Norfolk County area.

UPDATE (April, 2025): The Goddard School remains one of the best decisions we've ever made in our son's life, and we will...

We have had our daughter enrolled at the Goddard Dedham since she was 20 weeks old. She’s now 3.5 years old and we are just shocked by her development. We attribute so much of this to the curriculum and support from the Goddard Dedham. Any concern or challenge we’ve ever had has been dealt with head on by the administrative staff who demonstrates such love and nurturing for our daughter. We can’t express what it means to us to have peace of mind while we’re working. When we drop off and pick up our daughter, we can see the joy and excitement in our daughter’s face to spend her day with her friends and teachers at this center. Additionally, we love the enrichment opportunities of yoga and music on top of the exploration they do with the kids in the classroom.

The Goddard School in Dedham is the best of the best. I would trust any and every staff member to care for my son because of the professionalism, value of care, and hard work I witness everyday. There is always a smiling face when I come in, and my son is excited for school every day. I trust the Goddard School because they help us give my son self-confidence to achieve new goals and learn new things with their outstanding curriculum. That includes the activities, special events, and celebrations put together that keeps the Goddard community strong. It feels like an extension of home. Thank you Goddard!

I started working at Goddard a year ago , They have been absolutely amazing !! If I have a question they are always on top of it helping me understand something I may not fully understand. They check in with staff to see how everyone is doing . They go above and beyond for staff, families and the kids everyday ! At the end of the day Goddard is a family and we treat everyone like family when they first start !

The admin team, has been absolutely fantastic to me , if I’m having a hard day they are there to listen when I need to vent. They have made me a better team! Thank you admin! Keep up the good work❤️ I appreciate you all more then you know

My son has been attending Goddard School since he was just about a year old. He's now 4.5 and I feel bittersweet knowing this is his last year before transitioning to Kindergarten.

As a busy, working mom, I am grateful every day knowing that I do not need to worry about my son because he is safe, cared for, and encouraged.

The community of teachers and administrators are what separate this school from others. Throughout the years, I have seen my son's teachers graduate from teaching in their classrooms to leading their departments to working in administration. The reliability and level of care is especially comforting given that my child has a special medical need, which the entire staff are proactive about and accommodating of.

Beyond how I feel about Goddard, I think if my son could share here he would want you to know how fun the lessons are...

My family has been a proud member of The Goddard School of Dedham for 4 years, having sent 3 of our 4 children here. We have felt as though the teachers and staff have been an extension of our family. My children have all loved their time with The Goddard. They are greeted with hugs and smiles each day, and talk about missing their teachers and friends when not at school. The curriculum fosters learning with an interactive, age appropriate approach that makes learning exciting each and every day. We have been blessed to be part of the Goddard Family, and without reservation recommend them to care for and teach anyone's child. There is no better peace of mind than knowing your children are loved and treated so well when in someone else's care.

This is a world class organization and this location should be its flagship. The educators and administrative staff are excellent and I would recommend the Dedham Goddard to any parent.

Our daughter has been at Goddard for a year now and we absolutely love it! Clean, safe, great communication. The staff are wonderful. They are constantly doing fun activities, taking the toddlers outdoors, and are super attentive to needs.

The Goddard School of Dedham has exceeded our expectations in every way. We started with them when they first opened in 2020 with our first child and our second child is currently enrolled. The Teachers, Staff and Owner are truly amazing and constantly go above and beyond to ensure the well-being and development of each child. The dedication to creating a clean and safe environment is evident in every aspect of the school. The facility is immaculate, and safety protocols are followed to provide parents with a peace of mind knowing that their child is in good hands.
Communication is top-notch. We truly appreciate the regular updates and open lines of communication between parents and staff. We have always felt informed and involved in our child’s learning journey.
Overall, we could not be happier with our decision to enroll both our children with The Goddard School of Dedham.

My son is in the Pre-K program. The teachers are amazing, and my son is learning so much! I can't believe how far he has come in the time that he has been at the Goddard School in Dedham. The staff are professional and are always communicating with me about my child. I love getting photos of what my child is learning throughout the day. The interactions with management are also great, they are professional, kind, and always available if I need to discuss anything. Thank you for taking such good care of my child. We love the Goddard School in Dedham!

We couldn't be happier at Goddard! Everyone who works there no matter what their role, is attentive, kind, caring, and helpful. It is such a wonderful environment to drop our son off at everyday. We are confident he is safe and happy every single day and he has learned so much from his amazing teachers.

The Goddard school of Dedham is a great early development school for kids aged 6 months to 5 years old. Both my kids love the school and look forward to it every morning. Having friendly and educated staff makes this possible. Kids stay busy working on activities based on the curriculum of the school.
I highly recommend the school.
