At The Goddard School located in Sudbury, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
Our son went to this Goddard for about a year until we moved. We found the staff to be very professional, caring and engaging. They go above and beyond with crafts, photos, and activities. The management team was efficient and effective with any issues, medications, illness, injuries, etc. Reporting illness was prompt to keeps viruses to a minimum. Rooms were safe organized, clean, and engaging. It was clear that all staff levels invested time to get to know each child, and worked to provide them support. They set a high bar for the next place! We will miss this crew, especially bri, Haley and jayna.

My son has been going to this school since he was 10 months old and is almost 3 now. We’re really impressed with how much he has learned over the last 1 year! His vocabulary and basic math skills are a testament to the hard work the teachers put in.
I see how unified the whole community is and there is a sense of belonging that every parent, teacher and staff can inherently feel!
It is truly inspiring to see what Ms. Farzeen has created!
Thank you for everything you all do!

We had an incredible experience at The Goddard School in Sudbury when our kids started school two years ago. On their first day, our twins were understandably nervous and cried, trying to open every single emergency exit and even needing to switch classes. However, the amazing teachers provided all the support they needed. They comforted our kids during nap time, even lying down with them to help ease their anxiety.
The dedication of the staff truly stood out. Ms. Farzeen was fantastic, always ready to answer my questions and calm my nerves whenever I wanted to check on them. Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Jenny, and Ms. Sara were equally amazing, helping our twins develop and encouraging them to be their best preschoolers/pre-K selves.
From day one, the staff provided individualized attention, ensuring that each child felt valued and supported in a nurturing environment. We were consistently impressed by the engaging activities and the focus on both academic and social skills.
While we transitioned to kindergarten, we genuinely appreciate everything the team at The Goddard School did for our family. We would have loved to stay longer if circumstances allowed. Thank you for making our children's early school experience so wonderful!

Great local option for daycare, pre-K, and after school. The teachers, office staff, and owners are completely dedicated to nurturing the children and creating a fun, safe, and positive learning environment. We built lasting friendships with many of the families that we met there. Communication is excellent and so is the programming. Cleaning protocols are top notch. Love the Family Hub app for receiving pictures and updates throughout the day.
