- ESErica ShanksOct 15, 20255.0My daughter has always felt welcomed and comfortable with her teachers at The Goddard School of South Windsor. I also have peace of mind knowing she’s safe after drop-off, thanks to the admin team's strict safety protocols—such as checking IDs and calling the parent on file to verify anyone picking up a child. Lauren and the entire team consistently maintain a clean, welcoming environment and show genuine hospitality to both new families and those already enrolled. This school goes above and beyond—not just for the students, but for the staff as well. To my daughter and me, The Goddard School isn’t just a childcare center—it truly feels like a second home. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to our children!
- LFlinda forresterSep 18, 20255.0I can’t say enough wonderful things about my daughter’s teachers, Mrs. Denia and Mr. Kai! They are truly the sweetest and most caring educators. My daughter comes home every day excited to share how much she loves them and all the fun, engaging activities they do in class. From the very beginning, this school has been such a blessing. Her first teacher, Mrs. Jaime, was also an absolute sweetheart — she told me she still checks in on my daughter whenever she can, which speaks volumes about the connections these teachers build with their students. As a mom, it has meant everything to find teachers she feels safe and comfortable with. Their support has made it so much easier for me to get back to work and find balance again. One of the things I value most is that my daughter has Mr. Kai as a bilingual teacher. It’s so important to me that she feels confident speaking both languages, and having bilingual teachers makes that possible. Mrs. Denia is also just so gentle with my baby as she had a hard time separating from me for quite some time for drops offs. But both teachers remain so patient, loving and kind to my baby and that means the world! Thank you to you guys! I hope you get to read this because you have exceeded my expectations in every way, and I’m so grateful my daughter is surrounded by such loving, talented teachers. Appreciate you guys and all you do!
