Our daughter was at The Goddard for a month before I decided to stay home with her full time. Removing her from their program was so hard to do! They offer an incredibly robust education program for infants, with new and creative activities every day. The facility is clean and their protocols around sanitation are impressive. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and very responsive to parent outreach. And they were very patient with me as I went back and forth about whether I should keep her enrolled or stay home with her. All in all, our experience surpassed out expectations!When Im ready to be away from my daughter, I will definitely be re-enrolling her at The Goddard!

We loved our time with The Goddard School! Our son looked forward to school every day, and they always did lots of different activities. They were very helpful with staying to potty train, and encouraging social skills as well as traditional education. We also loved getting updates through the tadpole app

Go anywhere else, honestly. The owner doesn’t care about the kids, it’s all about your money. I enrolled my kids across town at a more well known and reputable school and they thrived - another family followed us and were just as happy as we were.If you don’t care about what happens to your kids and just need somewhere to drop them off while you’re at work, this is an option. But if you actually care about how your kids are treated while you’re away from them, there are (much) better alternatives.

My toddler attended this school for one year, but I would have kept him there straight up until preschool if I didnt need to move for work. The staff were highly professional even in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. There was highly effective communication on a daily basis through their app and then separately as needed. This included properly assisting my son with a moderately intrusive medication regimen for two months. I was always entirely confident that he was safe, happy, and healthy every day that he was there. The curriculum was a huge value in sending my son here. He made great strides with his learning, reaching milestones early, thanks to continued excellent instruction at this school. Thanks for a great year!

The Goddard school is an absolutely wonderful daycare facility. We have had a relationship with them for 6 years and we have grown to see them as family. The curriculum that they follow is exceptional and the social and emotional support they provide our children is exemplary. Even during these challenging times, communication from the teachers and the director has been quick, easy and thorough. They have the best needs of the child at heart and they easily accommodate changing needs of the family. While our children have been feeling stress and anxiety in their surrounding world, the school has created a safe, familiar, enriching environment where they feel protected and stimulated.

Read a review about poor communication and I agree, staff doesn’t support parents and don’t discuss changes occurring such as switching classrooms or behavior issues. I took my child out of there, I didn’t feel valued at all. Hardly even knew the “teacher”. When my child got hurt, never got a call just tadpoles. Hate that app.****EDIT****It’s funny how an institution who claims to be “teaching” honesty, integrity and kindness to our children would respond in such a malicious, dishonest and presumptuous way. You can think I am whomever you want, but so far I see reviews that have legitimate concerns that any other business would respond to in an apologetic or empathetic way, or at the very least take ownership of their shortcomings and make an effort to do better. Instead you’re showing exactly what the other post you’re referring to says; you take personal offense and explain away with some prescribed response about how you operate and with very clear anger, including using words that don’t even exist like “disenroll” (I believe you claim to be an educational facility, correct?) if this is how you respond, then you deserve one star, and it’s completely appropriate for people to review businesses theyve experienced, that’s the whole point of reviews. Rather than penalizing people, consider practicing what you preach, and show families courtesy and respect when confronted with information you don’t like. But you know, everyone can see now exactly the kind of people you are based on your response, and can now make a more informed decision when it comes to the care of their children. I will continue to be open and honest about my interactions going forward right here since it seems to have struck a chord, so go ahead, your move. 🐸 ☕️With only a minor amount of digging I can see that you personally attack anyone who writes you a less than perfect review, which leads me to believe those are either done by you or paid for. Look at indeed reviews made by the employees that describe the owners overall behavior, it won’t take you less than 5 minutes.

Our family has been fortunate to be apart of the Goddard school for 2 years now. Our daughter is so happy there. Her teachers are caring and loving they have helped her absolutely flourish! Health and safety is one of the schools top priorities. They have been able to remain open and flexible through covid making every effort through daily notes and monthly check in calls to make sure we are still informed about what is going on with our daughter. If problems do arise they are addressed immediately and in a way that you know they genuinely care. As first time parents they have helped us so much offering tips and tricks for our little one. I ALWAYS recommend The Goddard School to anyone looking.

Communication is a major issue here, if a parent attempts to connect to address concerns, its taken as an insult and they are in no way interested in being empathetic or even acknowledging they might have been wrong. The director informed me when bringing up a specific concern that some teachers are not socially adept and will sometimes avoid communications with parents. if an issue arises, they decide if its worth mentioning instead of allowing a collaborative decision to be made. They would rather tell you youre not a good fit for their school rather than address concerns and make changes. especially in light of Covid, where parents dont have the opportunity to interact with teachers as they normally would. This is a real challenge to making us feel our kids are being treated adequately, and something theyre in no way interested in making an attempt to find a better alternative.They really dont put the interest of your child first, its just a business to them, and they would much rather replace you than make an effort to make you feel comfortable, and that youre child is receiving kind and compassionate care. instead, they sent my 3 year old home wearing snow boots of two different sizes that were at least 4 sizes too big that only after being alerted via tadpoles after hours we found out had been worn for more than 4 hours and could have caused him to fall or hurt himself. When I asked why, they treated it as if it were a non-issue and went as far as to scold me for expressing my concerns about this. They will always take the teachers side, no matter what. My son also told me on a separate occasion the teachers were grabbing him rough and when I expressed concern over potential abuse the response was not at all serious, realizing that kids sometimes say things, I felt I needed to address it to put my mind at ease since he said it multiple times and gestured toward his arm. I was never accusatory, just stated in an email that I would like to discuss this as it alarmed me that he would randomly be saying these things. The response was dismissive at best, with responses like Ive known so and so for three years shed never do that.I made every effort to hear them out, and even I said it could be nothing but I just thought it was worth a closer look. After the snow boot situation they basically told me that if I dont like how they do things, then I should look elsewhere. I was not a regular complainer, over the course of the year, and acknowledge that things happen. I had expressed concerns only 3 times, and each were pretty valid. the other such concern was sending my 3 year old home with an obscenely full diaper, to which I ended up changing him in the parking lot before our 30 minute drive home to avoid issues multiple times. Is that not reasonable to mention?Dont settle for a place that treats you like this, you and your kids deserve better. Especially when Im told by the owner that they never question what the teachers do, because theyre the professionals (but are they?) Its important to do better than that. If youre not at least striving for better or ensuring hired teachers are receiving better education, and conducting themselves in an appropriate manner, such as being able to call parents when a call is necessary or requested, youre basically saying you have no idea what goes on inside those walls and you dont care to. Disappointed with the way they handle legitimate concerns, and its too bad that my son is the one who has to suffer for their shortcomings in their dealing with parents.on his last day, they shoved my son out the door with his stuff and walked away. Just sad.Beware, Tony will lead you to believe that he understands you and something will be done about it....but it wont. He might even call to address your concerns but say, he will always support the teachers and that he doesnt have enough information about a particular situation to be of any benefit to the call in the first place.

My son who was born at 27 weeks has been going to the Goddard School since he was an infant. Knowing he was born so early the teachers always communicate and have helped him in so many ways that we can’t thank them enough! Even to this day he is learning and excelling in things we didn’t think was possible. The communication is very good even with Covid going on. I also want to say they have handled Covid very well and I don’t have any worries of my son going there. The tadpoles app is the best they send pictures during the day and it just makes you feel good that you can trust the people that your child is with.

The staff is wonderful and caring at the Goddard School. We wouldnt take our daughter anywhere else!

I cant 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 sons 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!

Both my daughters went to the Goddard school, Nashua NH. They started when they were infants and stayed through kindergarten.Over the past 8 years my girls had some wonderful teachers. Both girls were fortunate to have Miss Sam for kindergarten. Miss Sam was such a delight and very professional any time we had any questions or concerns during the school year. I believe Miss Sam was the main instrument for both my girls having such successful years.The staff, teachers, curriculum, facility, etc are wonderful. I highly recommend the Goddard School, Nashua to anyone looking for a place to send their children.

We transferred our toddler daughter from another daycare to the Goddard School in Nashua and we wish we had started her here in the first place! We adore the teachers and really appreciate the consistency with staff. We also LOVE that the school uses the Tadpoles app to send pictures of our daughter throughout the day as well as a very detailed note at the end of the day with all of her meals, nap, diapers, and activities. The facility itself is beautiful, clean and secure. The outdoor play areas are really nice, and we love that they take the kids outside almost every day. The school feels well managed and its been easy to communicate with both teachers and front office. Our daughter has only been here for two months and we have already seen so much growth and advancement. There are many daycare centers in the Greater Nashua area (and my husband and I had previously toured quite a few of them) but Goddard is definitely the standard. It feels like a hidden gem!

My Isa has been at Goddard School for several years. The relationships we have developed with staff is more like family. My daughter was having sensory issues and teachers and director work every day to help her through her tough moments. They are extremely kind and loving and most of all FUN!!! They allow children to be children and let teach them through amazing curriculum of learning with hands on techniques. I could go on with more words but visit and look at the children they are happy and well adjusted. We are moving on to first grade and will miss our Goddard Family!!!!

My children graduated from the Goddard school with knowledge and social skills that were in the upper percentile of their peers in their subsequent schools. The Goddard teachers allow for hands-on learning, give individualized attention, and allow for each child to explore their creativity at their own pace. Each day was consistent and positive. Teachers had innovative lesson plans and provided a variety of mediums to explore a wide range of topics.

Great school. Our daughter is 16 months. Yesterday they explored watermelon. They ate watermelon, jumped from watermelon to watermelon, painted with watermelon colored cool whip, and experimented with different chunks of watermelon sinking or floating. I love the teachers and we really enjoy all the photos of our daughter that we get through the app they use.

My son went to The Goddard School as an infant through Pre-Kindergarten and had a wonderful experience. We felt the high level of supervision and the extensive communication with daily reports was exactly what we needed.The teachers, director, and owner were fabulous. Everyone cares about the children and makes an incredible effort creating a fun environment and stimulating learning activities. I always felt good about dropping my son off where he was safe and he was learning. A mom couldnt ask for more.

Ive had two children at Goddard since they were infants. The staff are excellent and caring, and their curriculum is thorough and very clearly defined. We get daily reports, as well as photos occasionally throughout the day. The facility itself is also immaculately clean and well-maintained.

I cannot say enough great things about the Goddard School. A few months ago I was looking for part-time childcare for my 18 m/o son. I had been home with him since birth so I was anxious to find a great place. I visit one daycare but couldnt bear the thought of leaving him in a crowded, dirty room. Then I visited the Goddard School.The rooms are spacious and clean, and the decorations and artwork are always changing. The teachers are welcoming and love on my son and all the kids. It only took him about 4-5 weeks to get completely adjusted without crying at drop-off. He can say all his teachers names and loves his time at schooolll.We love getting pictures and updates about his day via the Tadpoles app. This makes it easy to practice what he has learned in school at home. My son is learning new words every day and it is so exciting to see him grow.We are so thankful for the Goddard School, all the great teachers and staff. Thank you so much for caring for our son!

Our son was in a large chain daycare before going to Goddard...Weve seen such an amazing difference since he started in their toddler room in March! He now asks how many days until the next time he goes, always tells us about what he did that day and is no longer afraid to use the bathroom at school (a huge issue we had at his previous daycare). The splash days have been great this Summer and we love all the hands on learning our son gets to do! His teachers have been amazing and genuinely care about him. They made his transition into his new surroundings quite seemless and have definitely helped him become better at sharing. As far as management, theyve been so flexible with my part time work schedule (that often changes last minute), always returning my emails promptly and greet my son/us by name with smiles. Cant say enough good things!

We had a great experience at the Goddard School from 2011 to 2017. Both of our kids attended the school and were well prepared for PreK and 1st Grade, with our 1st Grader at an above grade reading level thanks to Miss Keri and Miss Sam!

I would give 5 stars of this daycare. I son went to another daycare in exit 5, and the teacher even criticize my 20 months old son even he is still in the transition period. So we quit that one and moved to Goodard, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome, since I am able to see from my sons face upon pick up to see if he had a good day or not. Several times, I saw the teaching is holding my son to calm him down, and very patient, very accountable, Good Job! Jenisis. And now my son is very attached with Jenesis and I am even a little bit jealous but happy to see that. I saw some bad reviews from several years ago, but I think thats why the previous owner sold the business to the current responsible owner. I would definitely recommend this daycare to anyone regardless or sex and regions.Love this daycare!!!
