- JMJenna MarshallOct 15, 20255.0The Goddard school of Glastonbury has significantly improved our son's overall socialization skills . They have a curriculum that has not only kept him ahead of the expected milestones but they are a place that has turned into family and helped make our child so well rounded . It feels great to have teachers that treat our son like their own .
- BMBrittany MordarskiJul 31, 20255.0This review has been a long time coming but that does not make it any less deserved. My family switched my son from another daycare in town, to Goddard about 10 months ago, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are lovely, and always willing to talk to you about your child’s day. I love getting updates in the app, but most importantly my son is happy. At his previous school he never talked about friends or even knew their names (which just made us so sad and worried about his social development) or had anything to say other than his “day was good”. Now at Goddard he tells me all about his friends and who his “best buddies” are, and he’s always mentioning an activity that he did. He rarely switches rooms (at his other center he could be in 3-4 rooms a day based on ratios) and the teacher turnover seems much lower than other area schools. I see my son thriving so much more than he was, and as a parent that’s all you can ask for.

In each classroom, we provide hands-on, playful, child-centered learning experiences that vary based on the children’s levels of development. Teachers help children grow into happy, healthy, intelligent little humans who are ready to take on the world around them.
For infants, we follow the care schedule set by your family and utilize personal care moments to connect with and expand your little one’s individual development. Our teachers also incorporate songs, finger play, books and sensory and physical exploration each day.
Our busy toddlers flex their independence as they learn to walk, talk and safely explore the world around them. Their curiosity and interests drive the classroom structure.
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.
Our teachers expertly create supportive classrooms for all children to safely learn and test new social, academic and physical skills throughout a typical routine that includes morning and afternoon snack time, lunch, naptime, exploration time, small and large group experiences and outdoor play.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools.

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.
