- MNMackenzie NormandieOct 2, 20255.0I couldn’t be any happier with our experience at the Goddard school! The staff are incredibly caring, compassionate, and always go above and beyond to support the children and their families. In just the few short months that we’ve been there I have seen such remarkable growth in my son. His vocabulary, his confidence, and overall development. The environment is not only warm and welcoming, but also exceptionally clean and well-maintained, which gives me even more peace of mind. It’s clear that the teachers are truly dedicated and passionate about what they do. I am so grateful to have found this place and I would highly recommend it to anyone that comes my way!
- RFRaykwon ForcierAug 12, 20255.0Great school to start your child off at! My son is really showing growth and always has a blast every time he goes. They offer plenty of events and activities to keep the kids engaged and involved.
- JSJulie SullivanApr 18, 20235.0After relocating to Nashua, we luckily stumbled upon an opening at The Goddard in the midst of a pandemic. I am grateful for this good fortune because our son has grown significantly and enjoys every day he spends in this program. Their app is a great parent resource, providing details about the types of curriculum they pull from, and the skills they are nurturing and evaluating throughout each stage. Through personal observations, conversations and online communications it’s evident how valued the teachers are. The positive work culture starts from the top down, and it comforts me to know that the people who take care of my son everyday are respected, valued, and encouraged to be their best selves at work. My son’s confidence, social skills and creativity have all improved, and I appreciate the role The Goddard has played in his learning experience thus far.
- PCPooja CheemaSep 28, 20185.0I can't say enough good things about Goddard! Our 2 children attended this school and our family truly enjoyed being a part of the Goddard family. They (office staff and teachers...Tony, Samantha, Heidi, Jamie, Cristina, Cassie, & Donna to name a few) were absolutely wonderful in welcoming our children into their school and making them feel so comfortable and loved. My husband and I are so grateful that we found Goddard and that our 2 yr-old son's first experience of school/day care was such a pleasant one. He learned so much, so fast! Our 4 yr-old daughter had gone to another school/day care prior to Goddard that we were not too happy with, so we transferred her and it was the best decision. She absolutely flourished at Goddard, academically & socially! We also loved the daily reports and daily pics we would get of the kids doing different activities. We could tell that our kids loved being there. They even formed great bonds with their teachers...in particular Ms. Cristina, Ms. Cassie, & Ms. Donna. They genuinely loved our kids and our kids genuinely loved them! I only wish we had found this school sooner, so we could have started our daughter there from the very beginning! I highly recommend this school for anyone who wants their child to develop their social skills, receive a great education & care, and have fun while doing it!
