I can’t say enough good things about The Goddard School. From the moment we enrolled our first kid and then little one, the staff has been nothing but attentive, caring, and professional. The teachers truly take the time to know each child’s needs and personality, and they create such a warm and nurturing environment.
The facility is always clean and well-organized, and I love the variety of activities they provide. They even learn to play chess. Both kids enjoy music class with Ms. Nadia. They love Spanish class with Ms. Ingrid. Our kids have grown so much socially and academically since starting at The Goddard School, and we feel confident knowing they are in safe, capable hands every day.

The Goddard School in Deerfield is a very special place for us. We sent our son there since he was about 10 months old up until he was almost 4 and I cannot say enough great things about the school, the owners and the staff. They are organized, completely on top of the children's needs and manage to make long days very fun for the kids. They work really hard to create extracurricular events for the families to cultivate a nice community and they have truly succeeding in doing so. As a working parent, I found it very comforting that I could send my child to school each day and knew he was being taken care of and having a fun time! Read more >
