Goddard School Long Meadow Farms

We absolutely love The Goddard School. My son genuinely looks forward to going every day, which says everything. The teachers are kind, patient, attentive, and truly invested in each child’s growth and happiness. It’s clear they care deeply about what they do, and it shows in how confident and excited my son is to learn. We couldn’t be happier with our experience.

I would highly recommend this school to anyone in the area seeking childcare or early education. From the very beginning, every staff member at Goddard Long Meadows Farms has been incredibly kind and welcoming—I’ve truly never encountered an unfriendly person here. The teachers provide such a wonderful learning experience through engaging crafts, hands-on activities, and meaningful lessons. In addition, the pricing is very reasonable compared to other options in this part of town. Overall, if you’re looking for a safe, loving, and nurturing learning environment for your child, this is the place to be. My son absolutely loves his teacher, Ms. Sama, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves and cares for him too. I mean look at these photos, that’s one happy kid!! 😍☺️

Best school for my toddler; best teacher and just all around great place, my daughter came home from school speaking clearly each day, we have full conversations, she’s always willing to help and clean up. Thank you ms Sama and the entire school

My experience is great. They take good care of my baby. He has learned a lot. The staff are amazing and the nutritious meals are great.

Great school!

I couldn't be more thrilled with Goodart Longmeadow Daycare! From the moment my daughter started attending, it's been an incredible experience. The staff is not only professional and caring but also incredibly dedicated to the children's development and happiness.

I've personally witnessed the passion and enthusiasm that the teachers bring to their roles every day. They engage the toddlers in a variety of enriching activities that are both educational and fun. My daughter especially loves the toddler room, where she's always busy exploring new activities under the guidance of nurturing teachers who genuinely care about her growth.

The facilities are clean, safe, and designed with children's needs in mind. It's reassuring to know that she's in such a positive environment where she can learn, play, and socialize with other kids her age.

As a...

I am very glad to have sent my son to Gaddard school of long meadow farm. The environment is just what I needed for my son early school year. The management spoke to my wife and I in a very clear and defined terms. Visual aids well positioned for kids learning and comprehension. It is just the best in all.my searching for a place for my kiddo son.

When you can use the line “let’s go to school” to get the kids out the door from pure excitement you know you’re going to a great place! The staff has been nothing but amazing to my kiddos. They literally run to hug their teachers in the morning.. It is well organized, clean, and very educational and structured. Very happy with the 3 years we have been using Goddard LMF.

My children have been attending there for a few years and have always had good experiences. Many of the staff has remained consistent so my children have had minimal disruptions when switching classes as they grow. The front office staff and owner know all of the kids and take interest in their lives and support if there are concerns or issues. They do daily activities like science projects and culinary classes which my kids love to come home and tell me about. Overall we’ve been happy with Goddard.

As a parent, I am truly grateful for the wonderful experience my child has had at this school. He started here as a pre-toddler and is now in private kindergarten, and I could not have asked for a better foundation for his early years.

What I love most is the warm, family-like, and caring environment where children feel safe and supported. The school serves fresh, healthy meals made daily, which gives me peace of mind about my child’s nutrition. The owner, who holds a PhD, personally teaches science, art, and cooking camp classes alongside the teachers, which shows her dedication and passion for children’s learning.

The director is consistently on top of curriculum planning and ensures that teachers use effective strategies for both growth and learning. Communication with parents is always transparent, honest, and positive, which I deeply value. One of the...

Nicole thinks you should try Goddard School Long Meadow Farms

Very professional day care. Extremely kind and good with our daughter. She has learned a lot since attending, and every day they have fun and engaging activities that our daughter loves to share with us after school. Also very safe environment with class sizes that are perfect. Also the tadpoles app is very intuitive, and they also keep you up to date on everything that is going on.

We have had our son at Goddard School Long Meadow Farms for years now and it has been so great for him! Every single teacher he has had has been kind, caring and instrumental in his development! From the teachers to the administrators - this is a great team we have trusted and we only wish we could keep him there forever. They make everything fun, keep parents posted through an app and just do an outstanding job. Thank you, Goddard School!

The Teachers and staff there are very awesome 🤩

I have multiple children at this school since they were 2 months old. Every teacher has been caring and wonderful towards my children. When there is even a minor concern it is addressed immediatly. My children can read and write way before kids in other daycares and learn a lot here. I cannot recommend this school enough!!!

Justin gave Goddard School Long Meadow Farms an AWESOME Recommendation

Goddard is an amazing school! The teachers are so loving and I have been the happiest there. My son has grown so much and he loves it! I know that he will be well prepared for kindergarten! I’m so thankful and blessed to have found Goddard. I wish he was there from 1 year but the last 2 years were phenomenal.

The staff at The Goddard School are kind, trustworthy, and professional. I cannot imagine sending my children somewhere else.

Nicholas is very excited to recommend Goddard School Long Meadow Farms

Mrs. Sama is amazing! My daughter loves it here and she is learning so much.

Excellent job taking care of the kiddos.

My daughter goes to this school and it has been the best experience so far. my daughter teacher Mrs. Sama goes above and beyond and make sure my daughter is learning a lot and she is very caring The staff are great here. My daughter is enjoying a lot and she made new friends and learning new things everyday

We have had a lot of experience in daycares/nannying and Goddard is by far the best experience we have had! AnnMarie, the director, is so welcoming and kind. We had to enroll in a hurry and she made the process seamless and put us at ease. Most of the teachers we have interacted with have been there for many years--a rare find in childcare. All the staff is so kind, loving and patient with the kids, and truly passionate about their job. The kids get two FULL meals a day and more than one snack as well, all of which is included in tuition. Pricing is in line with other franchise schools and the bus assists with elementary pickup/drop off. We are so lucky to be able to bring our kids here. Thank you Goddard LMF!

As we give thanks to the family in our lives, I wanted to take a moment to thank the family we choose. The teachers and staff at Goddard Long Meadow Farms came into our lives out of necessity but stayed because of a choice.

What is family? Family is not just the one you were born into. It’s also the one you choose who impacts your life in a positive way. They’re the ones who help your child grow and become a better person. They’re the ones who love your kids and nurture and listen to their concerns.

My older child is now in Kindergarten and there were other daycares close to home we could transfer the younger one to that would make drop off/pick up much more convenient. But we CHOSE to stay. We chose to keep the teachers and staff as our family.

Deciding to send your kids to daycare...

My son has been attending The Goddard School since he was one, he enjoys it there and it is a warm and inclusive atmosphere. The staff are all very attentive and his development has been great.

My daughter spent all her preschool years here and loved it. She learned so much and was well prepared for grade school when she started Kindergarten. She loved all her teachers and made a lot of friends.

Ms. Sama and Ma. Rizo are very caring and gives each child special attention. My child enjoys going to school and you can tell that she is learning many things. She surprises me with new words, phrases, and knowledge. Thank you everyone!

Sending our two boys to the Goddard School in Richmond is the best decision we ever made.

Our oldest son is on the spectrum for autism and the warm, patience and acceptance he received allowed him to thrive and grow by leaps and bounds, both socially and academically. The Goddard is largely responsible for our son's ability to read by the time he started primary school and success we see across all his subjects of study.

Despite some early discipline issues, our youngest son is also making great strides and we are so excited for what the future holds for him; secure in the knowledge that the creative and well-rounded curriculum he has prepared him to be an inquisitve, independent thinker with a strong knowledge-base that will serve him well moving forward.

With a full heart my family endorses this early education institution and it's long time...
