- JWJeanne WhalenNov 14, 20255.0Putting both of my children at Goddard is a decision I continue to be happy about, even years later. Strong sense of community. We've met many kind people. I trust my kids are taken care of, which is a relief for working parents.
- IAInqiyad Abdur-RasheedSep 9, 20251.0I booked my daughter a spot here and due to several unforseen circumstances needed to find other arrangements. I called two weeks prior to her intended start date to cancel and they reviewed the policy that they couldn't refund without filling the spot. They said they have turned away a lot of people for the spot she had, and if they could fill it they would refund ($1500). I've called several times since and they've been miraculously unable to fill the spot. Apparently no new applicants have tried to enroll their kid since. I called again to explain the situation and was met again with no empathy and no understanding in her voice, just the policy. I've reached out to corporate and received no response. I followed up and am now awaiting that. In the meantime .. Please be sure your kid WILL start school here or you'd be cutting your salary in half that month.
- AAAshSep 12, 20241.0This was said to me over a miscommunication. I can’t imagine how someone in an administrative position would think this is ok.
- JAJessie AlbanoApr 1, 20245.0Could not say enough positive things about Goddard Brookfield. We switched our infant daughter from another day care two weeks ago and the level of care and attention from Goddard is incomparable. The curriculum, even in the baby room is so impressive. I feel a sense of relief every day at drop off knowing she will be in a fun learning environment. The level of communication is excellent, the teachers are incredible and the children are happy.
- DFDiana FalloneMar 8, 20245.0I was so nervous to place my son in a daycare facility and after touring many schools in Brookfield after we moved from Stamford, we landed on the Goddard School— and it was the best decision we could have made for our son and family. From day 1, the teachers and owner/director and associate director have been welcoming, supportive and our son is consistently engaged and cared for. We’ve noticed since his attendance that his level of confidence has soared, and the faculty are always keeping us posted on relevant updates that help us to ensure we are aligned on his development. Their facility is clean, organized, and FUN. Leaving a child at a daycare facility is always difficult, but at Goddard, we know our son is in great hands and we will always be made aware if he’s in need of something that we can offer to further his growth. Thank you team Goddard in a Brookfield!
