I am writing this as my daughter graduating from Goddards UES school. I would like to give 10 stars if I can. My daughter was only there for five months but I cant say enough good things of it. The school was so warm and teachers extremely caring and responsible. We moved from a different country and my daughter didnt speak English when she joined. But shed never felt she was in any way excluded. In fact, she thrived so much and spoke English so well in no time. We also realized how much shes grown in math, reading and independence. The school even provided piano, music lessons, Shakespeare and chess to the kids which set them well ahead in early developments. Plus we can pick up her as late as 6 pm, which really allow my husband and I focus on working during the day. They even provide parents with lectures and meetings to prepare us for the daunting K-12 application process of both public and private schools. Sandra Lugo, the executive education director, is extremely knowledgeable with the school system in NYC. We are truly going to miss Goddard!

I can not ask for a better school than Goddard for my kid. As mentioned in other reviews, it has a lot of advantages such as long hours and offering all kinds of interesting programs.Beside, they also provide you a lot of support for applying schools for K-12 even one on one meeting with the director, which is very very helpful.Im not there most of the time to watch how everyday goes, but every time I went to pick my kid up, she was sayingMommy, why are you here so early? I guess that says a lot about the school. And one day she even cried because I asked her not go to school since her cousins were visiting. we were so lucky to find Goddard and will truly miss Goddard and all the teachers there
