- MJMadeline JeffordsOct 10, 20255.0My son has been attending Goddard Medford since he was 22 months old, he is now 4. Our experience has been outstanding in regards to his teachers, their level of communication with me, his academic preparedness and just overall social emotional growth. With the increase in free Pre-K programs around the area my family and I obviously considered that option, but feel that keeping him at Goddard was a better fit for his needs. The staff has truly become family.

- AWAndrew WebsterDec 14, 20235.0We had a great experience at Goddard for the four months we were there. we've been to three preschools in Medford, and this one was the best of the three. The facility is very clean. The teachers are very caring and the Director is very helpful. My son really enjoyed going to school here each day and I fully recommend it to other families in the area.
- EKEric KeebleAug 17, 20205.0My wife and I couldn't be happier with the time our children spent at The Goddard School of Medford. Our children learned, made friends, and gained confidence during their time there. The teachers were so welcoming and supportive and invested in the development of our children. When we enrolled our second child, it was a comfort to see many of the same faces that we grew to know when our first child attended. Mr. John, Ms. Renee, and all of the teachers were always willing to accommodate any requests and answer any questions we had. We can't thank everyone there enough for all they've done to teach and care for our children!
- JSJulia SmithJul 22, 20185.0We have been with Goddard for over three years. All three of our children love it here and so do we. My twins are headed to kindergarten overly prepared and I can’t thank them enough. Mr. John, the owner, and all of the teachers have been so good to my family. They accommadate my ever changing work schedule. When John says he’s here for you and we are all family he means it.
