The Goddard School

I’ve noticed significant improvements in my son’s social and motor skills since starting at Goddard. You can tell everyone from the teachers, to office managers to directors care about each and every child. As a working mom, I appreciate the communication style of the school via app notifications and emails. Its the right mix of informative without being too much. I think I would best describe Goddard as consistent and reliable. Its easy to make a good impression during a visit or a child’s first day but Goddard continues to beat expectations every single day. My son loves school!

As a parent of two children currently enrolled at The Goddard School, I cannot express enough how grateful I am for this exceptional preschool. Soon, my infant will be joining them, and I have complete confidence that they will receive the same outstanding educational experience. The Goddard School stands out for its highly educational curriculum that caters to all ages, from infants to pre-kindergarten. They strictly adhere to state regulations regarding health records and class ratios, ensuring a nurturing and educational environment for every child. I appreciate that they prioritize healthy snacks, which reflects their commitment to the well-being of our kids. What truly sets The Goddard School apart is their holistic approach. They emphasize not only academic growth but also health and social development. With new themes introduced weekly and monthly, I eagerly look forward to their monthly newspaper to see the exciting events they have planned. Both my children and I have always felt welcomed and included at The Goddard School. It's a place where diversity is celebrated, regardless of race, religion, or whether a child is neurotypical or neurodivergent. The staff goes above and beyond to provide support not just to the children but also to parents, offering valuable advice and strategies for addressing behavioral concerns and developmental needs. The educators at The Goddard School are exceptionally well-trained and equipped with knowledge of various therapies to help each child reach their maximum potential. This franchise of The Goddard School is truly a gem in our state, unlike any other; the owners have taken this franchise and elevated it to new heights, creating an extraordinary learning environment. From the friendly front office staff to the dedicated teachers and the wonderful owners, Lisa and Lena, this school is a complete package. Thank you for fostering such an amazing and intelligent new generations!

We have 2 kids at Goddard and the school is great. The facility is clean, the teachers and directors are hard working (not an easy job). We appreciate the school and their hard work very much.

Excellent Directors and Teachers who put fantastic thoughtfulness and effort into planning classroom agendas, structured learning while catering to each child’s learning level, and planning fun activities and field trips for those who are of proper age. What a privilege to be part of a wonderful village.

This review is LONG overdue! Our daughter has been attending The Goddard School in Middletown for over a year, and we couldn't be more thrilled and amazed on a daily basis. As a full-time working mother, leaving my daughter in someone else's care every morning is one of the hardest things I have to do. My heart breaks just a little bit more each day, knowing I will miss so many precious moments with her, while someone else will be there to witness so many of her "firsts". It's a feeling I'm sure I share with many other mothers. Thanks to the teachers and staff at The Goddard School, however, I can feel a bit better about leaving my daughter every day because I know she is in the hands of caring professionals who cherish them (almost as much as we do) and seem to understand how much I miss them every day. The teachers, directors, and owners have been fantastic about keeping us up-to-date on the highlights of our daughter's days, sharing their funny moments and their latest achievements. The best part is that we don't always have to wait till the end of the day. They send us photos when they know it's a moment we wouldn't want to miss. Their messages brighten my day, make me laugh, and help me to feel that even though we're apart, I'm still somehow with my daughters. The curriculum is top-notch as well, and she is excelling at an unbelievable pace. I'm so grateful to the staff at The Goddard School for helping us give our daughter such a great start in life, and for including us in the moments we would otherwise miss. Thank you to my angels on earth!!
