- MTMichael TaoNov 24, 20255.0Our daughter had a wonderful experience at The Goddard Rocky Hill. The office staff including Ms. Maria, Alicia, and Harpreet have always been very organized, attentive, and easy to communicate with and the teachers made our daughter's time here exceptional. Ms. Nora, Sumathi, Meghana, and Pushpa fully embody what it means to be excellent teachers. We could genuinely feel how wholeheartedly they care for children, not only for ours but for every child in their classroom. Our daughter initially struggled with the transition to preschool after our move to CT, but her teachers went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable, supported, and confident. Thanks to their patience and love, she has grown so much socially and emotionally. We're very thankful for this amazing team of teachers and recommend this school to any family looking for a nurturing and well-run preschool staffed by people who truly care about the students.

- AHAdisa HodzicOct 16, 20255.0Great experience with the Goddard School of Rocky Hill since my son started in February of this year. He loves his teachers (Ms. Pritha and Ms. Jenna are amazing) and has made many little friends since he started here. He has also learned so much and is always so excited to tell me about his day and everything he did. He also enjoyed the summer program activities very much. We also love that the school brings in the Little Petting Zoo and martial arts as my son loves participating in these programs.
- RCRachel ClarkSep 24, 20255.0After touring many daycares, my husband and I decided on The Goddard School in Rocky Hill. We could not be more thrilled with that decision. The faculty is warm and welcoming, from the directors, to the teachers, to the kitchen staff. Everyone greets my daughter by name- even teachers who have not had her. I am a teacher myself, so curriculum and learning is something I focus on. They foster a positive and fun learning environment, consistent throughout all of the different classes she has been in. I feel confident and comfortable dropping her off daily, knowing she is safe with them. I HIGHLY recommend Rocky Hill Goddard!
- MHMelissa HanleyFeb 20, 20245.0Directors and teachers are exceptional! My son loves going to school and has learned so much over the years! As a parent with a child with food allergies, I feel confident in trusting the care of my son to the directors and teachers at Goddard! They have gone above and beyond to make sure he is included and safe throughout the school day!
