At The Goddard School located in Woodbury, 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.
My son is full of excitement each day as he heads off to school. He comes home eager to share the activities he participated in and the new things he learned, often telling us stories with a big smile. What makes his experience even more special is how much he enjoys his teachers, speaking warmly about their kindness and the way they make learning fun. His enthusiasm reminds us how important a positive school environment is in nurturing both curiosity and confidence.

We love the Goddard School of Woodbury. Our baby has loved going here, and his teachers are amazing. The owners & leadership at this school are amazing and truly go above and beyond to make it more than a daycare. I am always impressed at the infant curriculum, and the changes we have seen in our baby in a short time. We can’t recommend Goddard enough! Thank you to the amazing team at Goddard Woodbury for making it such a special place.

All of the staff and parents are welcoming, understanding, and so friendly. When I drop off or pick up the school is calm, the kids are having fun, and not running around like crazy. The teachers love what they are doing and want to work with the parents to help the kids as best as possible!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at The Goddard School! Our oldest was incredibly well-prepared for kindergarten—not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The curriculum gave him a solid foundation and a real love for learning that we continue to see flourish.
One of the things we appreciate most is the excellent communication. Both the teachers and directors are always proactive, responsive, and genuinely care about each child’s growth and well-being. It truly feels like a team effort.
The food program has also been a great bonus—healthy, well-balanced meals that our kids actually enjoy!
Now, our youngest is attending and absolutely loves going to school every day. It’s so reassuring to see them thriving, learning, and having fun in such a nurturing environment.
We’re so grateful for everything The Goddard School has provided for our family and couldn’t recommend it more!
