- DDDanNov 4, 20255.0I really enjoyed working here! This was the first school I got to work with in the Early Childhood field unfortunately I was only here for 90 days but I really loved working with the kids. They were so fun to work with now I am hooked on the descendants music because when I was working for them they were all into that music. Listening to that music. It’s a good memory of when I worked there and reminds me of the fun times I had with the kids too. I genuinely enjoyed this job but one of the teachers I did not see eye to eye with and I did not feel accepted by and that was hard. Prob one of the reasons I got terminated but I loved the kids that was my favorite part about the job working with the children. Lots of love Dan just wish miss Lexi was not such a snake who basically got me fired
- CJChristie JacobiSep 19, 20255.0We could not be happier with our experience at the Goddard School in Medfield. Both of our children attended there and were both incredibly set up for success in kindergarten. The teachers and staff are caring and patient. From the very beginning, we felt welcome and supported. Our children came home every day happy. The classrooms are clean and bright and full of educational and engaging activities. We are so grateful to be a part of the Goddard family and would highly recommend it to any family!
- MBMorgan BarryAug 29, 20255.0Highly recommend Goddard Medfield. The staff and teachers are absolutely incredible. Every single person will know and love your child. I always felt comfortable dropping off my son even as young as 5mo old because of the amazing people taking care of him. Everyone from the owner to the teachers truly care for each and every child, and my son loved going there. The facilities are safe, secure and fun for all of the kids of all age groups. They communicate consistently to keep parents informed and they are easy to contact/communicate with. Highly recommend!

- TJTara JenningsJun 26, 20155.0The Goddard School was a great first school for our toddler daughter. We immediately felt welcome as a family with the great communication from the teachers and other staff there. Our daughter thrived with the variety of activities offered; she grew so much in just one year. I highly recommend this school.
