- IDIoana DavidDec 4, 20245.0My son has been at The Goddard School of Framingham for two years and has transitioned through three classrooms. At every stage, he’s had caring, dedicated teachers, and we’ve consistently felt supported by the school’s outstanding management team. I especially value their well-rounded curriculum, strong security system, excellent hygiene practices, and the thoughtful events they organize throughout the year — not only fun for the kids, but also a wonderful way to build community among families. I truly cannot recommend this school enough!
- BPBrian PasqualeAug 19, 20245.0Vona and team do an incredible job at creating a welcoming environment for children! They have so many fun events (science day, bubble day, splash days all summer) and you can tell that they put so much thought into the curriculum. It's wonderful knowing that your child has so much fun everyday when you drop them off!

- DCDenny ConklinApr 9, 20245.0We have been thrilled with the Goddard School in Framingham! The facility is bright, welcoming, modern, and clean. The teachers have been very friendly, thoughtful, and are clearly taking the time to get to know our child and provide the best possible experience for him. In previous daycares, it has felt like we were paying for just 'babysitting' but at the Goddard School we feel like our child is getting a full, whole-child learning experience.
- CMChristopher MullinOct 31, 20235.0I am most impressed by the people at the Goddard School of Framingham. The owner, the director, and each of the teachers demonstrate their devotion to my daughter's care, education, and safety each and every day! When I drop her off at Goddard, I know she is in great hands.

What is a typical day at The Goddard School like?
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.
