- KLKatie LangOct 29, 20255.0We were worried about starting daycare with our son when I went back to work. The Goddard in Danbury could not be any better! Kellie, Miss Anto and Miss Nancy have become part of our village. We are so lucky to be able to get a spot. Your child will be looked after, stimulated, socialized, and loved. We couldn’t be happier to send our child here.
- KGKatie GramajoMay 19, 20255.0We are very happy with the education at The Goddard School of Danbury. The curriculum is age-appropriate and comprehensive. The facilities are clean, updated and secure. The teaching staff is kind, attentive, and caring towards our children. I have nothing but good things to say about this school.
- JDJacqueline DickeyMar 20, 20245.0We are so happy with our experience at Goddard! Both of our kids have gone here and it’s truly a family. Our children both woke up excited to go to school in the morning and have felt so loved and supported by their teachers. Our older son has now moved on but talks daily about how much he loved and misses Goddard! Kellie, Lynn, and the teachers here create the warmest environment where kids thrive! We love it here and wish we never had to leave!
- DDDinusha DharmaratnaApr 17, 20235.0My toddler has been thriving at Goddard school and we are so grateful for the care he is receiving at school. We are happy knowing that he is in a safe and nurturing environment and so excited to hear how much he enjoyed school everyday!!
- LMLauren MumfordNov 23, 20225.0Our daughter has been attending The Goddard School for over a year now and our experience has been wonderful from the very beginning! As first time parents, we were a little anxious about sending her to daycare but even after the first week, we knew we found the right place. The teachers and administration are so caring and loving with our daughter, and we’ve been so impressed with all the different activities they do each day to encourage learning and fun. She is absolutely thriving today as a toddler. The communication level with parents is also top notch. Not only are photos, videos and daily reports sent to us throughout the day using an app, but there is a high level of transparency and thoughtfulness with any that comes up during the school day. We also feel that they take health and safety precautions very seriously, which has been important during the pandemic era. Overall, Goddard gives us such peace of mind - we can tell our daughter has so much fun at school and is very loved by everyone who takes care of her! We can’t recommend them enough!

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them. Children learn how to ask and answer questions, work with others, navigate social situations and understand and communicate their own thoughts and feelings.

To ensure the health and safety of everyone, if an outbreak occurs and a child has not been vaccinated, they will be asked to stay at home.

Please provide any necessary personal care supplies for your little one, such as diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet.
