- SPSamantha Palania6 days ago5.0Great school, my child looks forward to coming to school everyday. He has learned so much!
- FKFaith KayNov 9, 20255.0My two boys have been in The Goddard School of Hudson for over a year now and have been blown away with the curriculum, all of the fun events/activities and holiday festivities that they do, communication between all staff, and the Goddard family hub! A very favorite part of the Goddard family hub app of ours is the daily pictures they send, quick real time communication and updates from the school and being able to quickly see upcoming events like when PJ Day is for the month. We are very excited to be welcoming a new baby to our family in April 26 and cannot wait to have them go to Goddard in the first room where my current youngest started and we will be able to stay longer with Goddard and my heart is so full! The staff and fellow attending family’s are so nice and truly make you feel welcomed and like family! I recommend Goddard to anyone looking for consistent reliable childcare and an early education to set them up for success!
- AWAmber WisniewskiOct 20, 20255.0Our son has been at the Goddard School in Hudson since he was in the infant room, and now he’s in preschool—and we couldn’t be happier. Every teacher and staff member he’s had has treated him with so much love and care. It honestly feels like they’ve loved him like their own from the very beginning. We’ve always felt like he was safe, supported, and in great hands. On top of that, he’s learned so much over the years. Watching him grow and thrive has been amazing, and we’re so thankful for the role Goddard has played in that. I recommend this school to anyone looking for a caring, high-quality place for their child. We’re so glad we chose Goddard!
- RMRafia MiletiAug 21, 20255.0We are approaching the end of our time at Goddard after 2+ years. We are very happy with our decision to bring our son here, and felt so assured and confident in the care he was receiving each day. He developed social emotional skills, early literacy, numbers, and even science concepts. He had so many fun experiences with summer outdoor splash days, theme days, librarian story times, and so much more. The teachers were outstanding in their patience, kindness, and care for the kids. We will certainly miss the Goddard family!
- MDMatthew DickersonJul 10, 20255.0My daughter has been part of the Goddard School of Hudson family since she was an infant, and what an great journey it has been. From her very first day, she was embraced by a community of nurturing, attentive, and genuinely passionate educators. She has loved each and every teacher she’s had along the way—every hug, lesson, and activity helped shape her into the confident, curious, and kind little girl she is today. It’s hard to put into words how thankful we are for the warmth and care she’s received. The Goddard School didn’t just provide childcare—it gave us peace of mind, knowing our daughter was thriving in a safe and joyful environment. The school’s commitment to early childhood development is clear in everything they do, from the engaging curriculum to the thoughtful communication with families. We will forever be grateful for the role this school has played in her foundational years. As she heads off to kindergarten, we know she’ll miss her Goddard teachers and administrators. Thank you, Goddard School of Hudson, for being part of our lives.
