- RRRavi RajOct 17, 20255.0We had such a wonderful experience over the years! The curriculum is engaging, and we noticed incredible developmental growth thanks to the caring teachers and nurturing environment.
- 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!
