- MGMichelle GarciaOct 29, 20255.0I have never seen my child super excited to go to school before! She loves her teachers and wakes up every morning excited! She has grown so much especially her personality. I want to thank the teachers and all of the staff and directors for being very kind and caring to the students! We are very happy!

- LBLana BridglallJul 14, 20255.0Goddard School of Stamford proved to be a great experience for my child. The quality of education, the commitment to children and the communication with parents have been exceptional. Not only has my child received the necessary academic foundation to enter kindergarten, he has also developed quality relationships with his teachers and peers. We have enjoyed our two years at this school.
- ESElla SuggsJun 10, 20255.0My son has only been at the school for a brief time, but in that brief time he has blossomed socially. His teachers are so kind and I really feel like they pay attention to each and every kid in there and their needs! I’m excited to have my son continue being at this school.
- MSMelissa SApr 10, 20245.0Absolutely love Goddard of Stamford! Went through 2 daycares prior to this one and they had such high teacher turnover and curriculum was not nearly as good and they charged extra for everything (yoga, soccer, Spanish, etc). Love the continuity in teachers of Goddard and how well run the curriculum is. My son is loving learning Spanish and is so excited to show me the chicks that just hatched when we go in every day! Added bonus: the amazing staff had him potty trained in a week!!

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.
