- NGNicole GazinMay 30, 20255.0As a mother it is so hard to leave your new baby, and when I had to go back to work when my daughter was 5 months old I was scared and ashamed. The Goddard School in Saugus immediately relieved my fears and she transitioned so much faster than we expected. The teachers showed genuine love and care for her, stayed in touch with us throughout the day in the beginning to make it easier on us, and cared for and taught her like she was their own. Now in the Toddler classroom she continues to love her teachers and school, and we are so grateful to the administration and teachers who have shown her so much attention. Special shoutout to Aminta in the infant room for her genuine affection for our little peanut (you are a godsend!) Thank you all! I cannot recommend this center highly enough.
- RSrazieh shahriariApr 10, 20255.0Very kind and caring staffs and teachers. My daughter loves it. She goes to school for almost 2 years and we are so grateful for their service and kindness!!
- JRJesse ROct 18, 20245.0Started my daughter here part time a couple months ago. So far we have been really impressed. The curriculum is fantastic and we see noticeable progress in her social and cognitive development. The school goes out of their way to get parents involved and host additional activities like Friday night daycare for students and their older siblings to give parents a chance to have a date night. I also am impressed with the security at the school with a magnetic locked door, monitored entry way, and a check in/out system.
- TWTom WalshNov 12, 20235.0We loved being at the Goddard school in Saugus. The teachers truly care about the kids and give them individualized attention and really get to know them. Our son was always so happy to come to school! And the staff was very good at communicating and adapting to parents' needs. It's a great environment for children to learn and play.
